Those who hold the CRSP® certification come from a variety of backgrounds and collectively certificants:
- Possess a wide range of professional experiences
- Possess a variety of academic backgrounds, including engineering, HR, sciences, and business
Some applicants apply at the four year minimum professional experience requirement level, while others have 10-15 years of experience or more. Regardless of background, the CRSP® certification is for many a career goal. Obtaining the CRSP® certification will set you apart from others within the OHS industry and emphasize that you are professionally committed to health and safety within the workplace.
When employers see CRSP® after a name, they know that the individual has been through a rigorous process that verifies formal education and professional practice and that they have successfully passed a competency based certification examination. They have also signed and agreed to abide to a Code of Ethics and adhere to the ongoing professional development requirements.
The CRSP® certification represents a personal benchmark that validates your knowledge, skill and practice. It also provides a transferrable credential, either domestically or internationally within the profession through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with similar certification boards, the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) in the United States, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and NEBOSH in the United Kingdom, and the Australia Institute of Health & Safety.
