CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The Associate Safety Professional (ASP) will become an independent certification from the Board of Certified Safety Professionals in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The ASP is currently a designation toward achieving the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) certification. With this change, it will remain as the first of two exams to obtain the CSP but will enable ASP credential holders to keep it as a certification.
To obtain the ASP certification, safety practitioners will need a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in any field or an associate’s degree in safety, health, environmental or a closely related field. At least one year of experience at a professional level with breadth and depth of safety duties is also required.
