Workplace Safety and Certification
Make Safety a Value in Your Organization
Build an Effective Safety Culture with Safety Certifications
To build an effective safety culture, an organization’s team members must own the responsibilities they each bear for safety. BCSP provides a comprehensive set of safety certifications that ensure team members have the required knowledge and skills. These certifications build safety leadership at every level, creating and maintaining an organization whose members share a mature safety culture.
Research from SHIFT demonstrates that each additional certification possessed by construction safety personnel is expected to be associated, on average, with a 1.910 decrease in Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR).

Become a Certification Champion with BCSP Group Management
Organizations that value safety can use BCSP’s Group Management platform at no cost as part of their safety program, ultimately gaining recognition as a Certification Champion. Follow the steps below in the order they appear to sign up for group management, link credential holders to your group, and be recognized for championing safety.
Gain access to exclusive, free tools that centralize the management, tracking, and support of team members’ achievement and maintenance of safety certification by signing up for Group Management.
Group Management includes:
- Access to the Group Management platform, allowing a Group Account Manager to:
- Support groups of applicants and exam candidates through convenient group organization and payment
- Track the status of credential holders in their organization
- Pay renewal fees for a group of credential holders in one payment
A Group Account Manager (GAM) can request applicants, candidates, or those who already hold BCSP credentials to link to their organization using the "Request" button in the Group Management program. You will be asked to enter the name and email of the individual you wish to link, and a request will be sent to that individual with instructions on how to update permissions granting the GAM access.
Alternatively, an individual may send the GAM a request to be linked to their group. They will be linked once the GAM approves.
More details on this process is provided in the Guide to Group Management, available at the "Using Group Management" button below.
When the individuals linked to your group hold five or more credentials with BCSP, you will be recognized as a Certification Champion, and will gain greater benefits the more credentials you champion.
Certification Champions:
- Receive a Digital Badge and Certificate that can be used to demonstrate their commitment to safety
- Gain recognition (based on number of credential holders) in BCSP media, including on the website, in digital media, and in exclusive video profiles
See Certification Champions Offerings (PDF) for further benefits and details.
Organizations that use safety certification as a regular component of their safety program may also wish to utilize Onsite Exam Delivery (OED) to have BCSP deliver and proctor certification exams to groups of candidates at times and locations most convenient.
