Working Together for the Future of Safety

We’re all in this together. Safer workplaces and environments promote the health and well-being of your employees, your communities, and your companies. You make a commitment each day to protect what matters most, and we continually strive to provide resources to support you.
Our recently expanded Group Management platform offers enhanced tools for managing BCSP credentials within your organization, while our newly rebranded Certification Champions program provides greater benefits and fittingly recognizes companies championing safety. We are proud to help you further your safety culture and empower your employees through these avenues.
Our BCSP Webinars series launched this month, aimed at providing free, high-quality professional development content for safety, health, and environmental practitioners. The first edition, Creativity in the Workplace, grew out of our partnership with Dale Carnegie and drew more than 1,300 registrants.
The Dale Carnegie partnership is also the basis for our BCSP+DC leadership training courses and mastery classes designed to help you inspire and influence positive change in your organization. We unveiled these courses last year and are continuing to add more.
We have also renewed our partnership with the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) to collaborate and share resources for the advancement of competency-based certifications. In March, we will host ACGIH’s Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation course at BCSP Headquarters in Indianapolis.
We are fortunate to partner with organizations like these and with you. The more we work together toward a shared vision, the more significant the impact. We encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities, and we thank you for your dedication to safety practice and certification.

Aristeo Reaping Benefits of Certification | |
Aristeo Construction is an award-winning general contractor in the manufacturing, automotive, and renewable energy sectors. The company has earned its reputation as a safe and collaborative partner in planning, managing, and executing its globally-recognized customers’ largest strategic programs. A Ruby-level member of BCSP's Certification Champions program, Aristeo holds 34 BCSP credentials within its company.
“Aristeo has always strived for continuous improvement of our safety culture and training opportunities, but we also wanted to provide our people the opportunity to earn something more advanced. BCSP certifications are not only a benefit for our company, but for individuals as well - to validate their understanding and encourage engagement and motivation. We strive to be recognized as best in class, and BCSP certifications support us in that pursuit.
“Whatever you do from a training and certification standpoint, if it prevents injury or loss, it’s money and time well spent. It’s not only ethical, but it makes good business sense as well. And when customers see that our supervisors, foremen, project managers, or employees have earned advanced certifications through BCSP, it's another extra advantage.”
