What Is the Honor of Fellow
Fellow is ASSP's most prestigious honor, recognizing significant commitment, achievement and leadership in the occupational safety and health (OSH) profession.
Honoree Benefits
Recipients receive a Fellow medallion and plaque. They also receive lifetime registration to the annual conference, and invitations to networking events with the past presidents and Fellows so they can continue to connect with a prestigious group of other highly accomplished safety professionals.
ASSP Fellows are entitled to use the Fellow of American Society of Safety Professionals (FASSP) designation. View our FASSP usage guidelines to learn more.
