Like most safety training, our certificates "certify" you have completed a formal course of study. OSHAcademy certificates do not certify you as a "qualified" construction safety specialist. And, of course, OSHA does not "certify" anyone as a qualified construction safety manager either.

In the USA, to be "certified" as a qualified safety specialist you need to meet experience and educational requirements and successfully pass an exam from a credentialing organization like the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (www.bcsp.com) or the Institute for Safety and Health Management (www.ishm.org).

An construction safety and health specialist has more technical training, knowledge, and experience than a typical employee. As a result, a specialist is often given additional duties, responsibilities, and compensation. A specialist often provides technical support to those working around them.

An construction safety and health supervisor has all the technical training, knowledge, and experience of a specialist, but also has additional supervisory responsibiities. As a result, the supervisor program includes all the courses found in the specialist program and includes two additional courses designed to specifically support the supervisory position.

OSHAcademy students that have already completed and paid for their training may qualify for a discounted price when purchasing a new program.

To determine if you qualify for a discount and how much the discount might be, our staff will need to evaluate your OSHAcademy transcript.
