Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP)/ Professionnel en securite agree du Canada (PSAC) is a certification offered by the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals for an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) professional. The CRSP/PSAC is accredited in Canada to ISO 17024 by the Standards Council of Canada.
Requirements to become a CRSP/PSAC are:
A minimum of a two-year certificate in occupational health and safety from an accredited College or University or a bachelor's in various disciplines.
- demonstrate professional development activities in the past 5 years prior to applying
- three years of continuous (full-time) OHS experience
- pass a formal interview, usually conducted by two members from the applicant's nearest RSC (Regional Screening Centre)
- pass the CRSP Examination
- Canadian Registered Safety Professional Examination (CRSPEX)
The CRSPEX is a criterion-referenced examination that tests whether qualified examination candidates have demonstrated a minimum standard of practice. The examination is a closed book, 3½ -hour multiple-choice examination delivered by computer-based testing (CBT) at proctored examination centers. Assessment Strategies Inc. (ASI) is the BCRSP’s examination consultant. The examination is developed on computer-based testing through Kryterion‘s test center network. The CRSP Examination Blueprint was developed to guide those involved in the development of the CRSPEX and to provide the public (e.g., examinees, educators, administrators) with practical information about the examination.
