New path to Certified Safety Professional (CSP) established
Individuals completing a curriculum-based safety, health, and environmental (SH&E) program which meets the Board of Certified Safety Professionals' (BCSP) 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 TSP program recognizes that individuals who complete a QEP program are prepared for entry into, or advancement in, professional safety practice.
"We felt a need to recognize the achievements and dedication of those pursuing not only degrees in safety, but also those who have obtained credentials that represent a fundamental knowledge of safety practice. We are now offering the TSP for safety practitioners on a path to achieving the CSP certification," said BCSP's CEO, Dr. Treasa Turnbeaugh, CSP, ASP, CET, CAE, IOM.
