The Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) signed a new Alliance agreement on February 22, 2008 with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) establishing a partnership to enhance safety professionals’ educational and professional expertise. The Council on Certification of Health, Environmental and Safety Technologists (CCHEST) and the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) were also part of this Alliance.

BCSP, CCHEST, and ABIH representatives signed the agreement at the U.S. Department of Labor. Edwin G. Foulke, Jr., Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, signed the agreement on behalf of OSHA. Mr. Foulke stated, “Assuring the safety and health of working men and women are the foundations of our respective organizations. OSHA is pleased to join with BCSP, CCHEST, and ABIH as we collaborate to develop products, programs, and resources that will advance safety and industrial hygiene competency in the workplace.”

“BCSP is pleased to join with CCHEST and ABIH in signing our Alliance with OSHA,” said BCSP President, Paul Adams, Ph.D., CSP, P.E., CPE. “As credentialing organizations dedicated to advancing professional expertise, we share a common goal with OSHA in helping safety, health, and environmental practitioners promote safe and healthful workplaces. Through this Alliance, BCSP will work with our partners to promote the education, training, and skills needed by professionals entrusted with protecting American workers, and to reach out to and encourage their certification.” BCSP is an accredited peer certification board that awards the Certified Safety Professional® (CSP®) credential.
