ASSP Certificates

Risk Management Certificate

The Risk Management Certificate prepares occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals who seek to learn the fundamentals of risk assessment and management and explores tools and strategies for implementing and evaluating a risk management program. Learn how to apply risk management principles that can help you proactively reduce risk, advance risk analysis and drive a return on investment from your safety programs.

Safety Management Certificate

The Safety Management Certificate is designed for occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals who want to learn fundamental concepts and processes for implementing recognized approaches to safety management. This program is ideal for OSH professionals with fewer than three years of experience or seasoned professionals who have recently taken on more safety management responsibilities.

Leadership in Safety Management Certificate

Our Leadership in Safety Management Certificate is a natural extension of our Safety Management Certificate. Learn to apply contemporary safety management methods and use influential leadership strategies to achieve the highest level of performance.

Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) Certificate

The Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) Certificate is designed for occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals who want to learn the key elements of an effective OHS management system, gain practical techniques to implement ANSI/ASSP Z10 or ISO 45001 and develop a deeper understanding of the auditing process and best practices.

Safety Certification vs. Safety Certificates:
What’s the Difference?

While earning one of ASSP’s professional certificates demonstrates your mastery of important OSH topics or leadership skills, doing so is different than earning a professional designation like the ASP or CSP from the Board of Certified Safety Professionals, a separate but important accomplishment that we can also help you to achieve.
