Certified Registered Safety Professional (CRSP) is a professional certification designed to recognize those individuals who have invested heavily in their skills, education and experience as a practitioner of safety management. CRSP is built on an industry best- practice model reflecting the attributes, competencies and experience necessary to standout in the field as a safety professional. The certification is backed by the standards, verification and testing provided by the International Society of Safety Professionals (ISSP). Why do I need the CRSP? For too many years, safety was viewed as a job function instead of a profession. There was no way to prove your level of achievement as a safety practitioner who carries the high level of responsibility for organizational safety management. Unlike engineering-based safety and reliability analyst roles, the successful organizational safety professional demonstrates a high level of competency in multiple domains including human factors, workplace and occupational safety, hazard analysis and risk management, business management, communication and training. Given this diversity, how can employers evaluate the skills of these professionals? One key way will be by looking at the individuals certification under the CRSP
