Expert take: what BCSP CSP really tests

The Certified Safety Professional (CSP) is BCSP's senior credential. You need a bachelor's degree, four years of preventive SH&E experience and a qualified credential such as the ASP. The CSP11 blueprint covers seven domains in a 5.5-hour sitting. Advanced Application of Safety Principles and Program Management are 25% each, so the exam leans toward applying judgement in scenarios rather than recalling facts.
