OSHA to recognize safety certification of construction supervisors
OSHA and the Council on Certification of Health, Environmental and Safety Technologists (CCHEST) have signed a voluntary agreement to acknowledge the Safety Trained Supervisor in Construction (STS-Construction) certification issued by CCHEST.
Intended for first-line supervisors, the program assesses safety education, training and construction experience, and verifies knowledge through a written examination process to verify that those construction supervisors who meet the stringent criteria for certification also possess knowledge and experience that contributes to achieving safe worksites.
