Ensuring that workers do only jobs they’re trained for is critical in industrial safety. An untrained worker who botches a job can do a lot of damage. But in the rush to get things done, proper vetting can get overlooked. How can supervisors in the field know for sure about whether a particular worker is qualified to do a specific task or operate a certain piece of machinery? It’s challenging on the factory floor and even more so in the field.

Individuals completing a curriculum-based safety, health, and environmental (SH&E) program which meets BCSP's Qualified Equivalent Program (QEP) standards are now eligible for the Transitional Safety Practitioner (TSP) designation. Those awarded the TSP designation meet the requirement of holding a BCSP approved credential when applying for the CSP.

The Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) invited students from Graduate Safety Practitioner® (GSP®) Qualified Academic Programs (QAP) to share why they value safety, aim to achieve the Certified Safety Professional® (CSP®) certification, and wish to inspire others to #ChooseSafety as part of a video competition.
