This year's Awards of Excellence recognize BCSP credential holders in the categories of Certified Safety Professional® (CSP®) and, for the first time, Certified Instructional Trainer® (CIT®).
The Challenge is a three-phase, $350,000 competition aimed at improving respirator fit evaluation. It seeks practical solutions that deliver real-time information on filtering facepiece respirator fit.
Three organizations were recognized in their respective industry sectors: for implementing new safety practices and systems, for employing new technology, and for cleverly reconfiguring a worksite to gain health and safety advantages.
The award ceremony was a collaborative effort of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) as well as the National Safety Council (NSC) and held for the first time ever at the NSC Safety Congress & Expo.
Funded through the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, the grants are being awarded in three categories, namely Targeted Topic Training, Training and Educational Materials Development and Capacity Building grants.
