The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) is currently in the process of forming a team of instructors for three upcoming education events. The organization is seeking a diverse group of occupational safety and health professionals to teach courses at SafetyFOCUS Fall 2024, SafetyFOCUS Winter 2025, and Safety 2025 in Orlando. 

ASSP is specifically looking for instructors to teach courses on business and leadership skills, construction, fall protection, risk assessment and management, safety management systems, and worker well-being. Courses will range from a half-day to three days in length. 

“Being a course instructor is truly a rewarding experience,” said ASSP President Jim Thornton. “It’s a terrific opportunity for safety and health experts to contribute to the development of their colleagues while advancing our industry, which ultimately will help us better protect workers everywhere.”

Instructor proposals will be evaluated by ASSP’s Council on Professional Development based on the degree to which the proposed course meets ASSP’s education objectives, the instructor’s presentation skills and teaching experience, and the interest and need for the topic within the occupational safety and health profession. 

Interested instructors must submit a separate application for each course, with a maximum of four submissions per instructor. Course proposals for all three events must be submitted online by April 12. 

ASSP will notify successful applicants via email by the end of May.
