Safety professionals who are heading to Orlando for the Safety 2014 conference and exposition June 8-11 can take advantage of a number of certification exam workshops being held in conjunction with the event.

CSP, OHST, CHST, STS and Math Review workshops are scheduled from June 5 through June 14, with multiple date and time options available for most workshops, allowing Safety 2014 attendees to schedule them around sessions they want to attend.

More than 30,000 individuals have achieved the CSP, OHST, CHST or STS credential since 1969, with approximately 12,000 currently holding the CSP.

The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), which is hosting Safety 2014, guarantees the workshops. If someone takes one and does not pass the examination, they can take the same workshop again at no cost.

Here are the workshops being offered:
