HISTORY OF THE BCRSP
On February 10, 1976 a newly designated Canadian Corporation was formed for the purpose of certifying qualified safety practitioners as Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (CRSP)®. With the appointment of the first Board of Governors, comprising 15 leading professionals from a cross-section of safety disciplines, the certification of safety professionals became a reality through the new organization.
The CRSP designation is now a widely accepted form of recognition by industry and government in Canada. Many employers require the CRSP designation in order to qualify for a safety position. It also allows the BCRSP to ensure that the highest standards of excellence and professionalism are maintained at all times and by all CRSPs.
The Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (formerly the Association for Canadian Registered Safety Professionals) is a public interest, not-for-profit association with a membership dedicated to the principles of health and safety as a profession in Canada.
In 2005, the BCRSP was granted accreditation to ISO/IEC 17024:2003 (Personnel Certification Body) by the Standards Council of Canada.
In 2008, the BCRSP was granted accreditation to ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management System) by BSI Management Systems.
