The Certification Process
Eligibility Criteria for ASP
Bachelor’s degree or higher in any field from an accredited institution
Degrees outside the United States must be evaluated by BCSP’s approved third party degree evaluators, so that U.S. equivalency may be determined,
The evaluation must be completed by a member of the National Association of Degree Evaluation Services (NACES)
Eligibility Criteria for CSP
CSP candidates must have four years of professional safety experience to sit for the CSP exam. Professional safety experience must meet the following criteria to qualify
Professional safety must be the primary function of the position; collateral duties in safety are not counted
The position’s primary responsibility must be the prevention of harm to people, property, or the environment, rather than responsibility for responding to harmful events
Professional safety functions must be at least 50% of the position duties; BCSP defines full-time as at least 35 hours per week; part-time safety experience is allowed if the applicant has the equivalent of at least 900 hours of professional safety work during any year (75 hours per month or 18 hours per week) for which experience credit is sought
The position must have breadth of professional safety duties; this is determined by evaluating the variety of hazards about which the candidate must advise and the range of skills involved in recognizing, evaluating, and controlling hazards
The position must be at a professional level; this is determined by evaluating the degree of professional charge by which there is a reliance of employees, employers or clients on the person’s ability to identify, evaluate and control hazards through engineering and/or administrative approaches
