Congratulations to our new Certification Holders!

NASP is proud to recognize the safety professionals who have recently earned their Master Safety Professional (MSP) and Certified Safety Director (CSD) certifications. Achieving these credentials requires extensive knowledge, practical experience, and a strong commitment to protecting workers and improving organizational safety performance.

These certificants have demonstrated their dedication to maintaining high standards of professional excellence. Their achievement reflects many hours of study, preparation, and real-world application of safety principles that help ensure safe and productive workplaces.

To all newly certified professionals, NASP congratulates you on this significant accomplishment and applauds your dedication to advancing the field of safety.

Why Certification Matters

Safety professionals who earn the MSP or CSD credential position themselves for enhanced credibility, increased career opportunities, and the ability to influence safer workplace cultures. Certification validates strong competency in workplace safety practices and reinforces a commitment to continuous improvement.

Employers recognize the value of hiring certified safety professionals who can identify hazards, communicate effectively with teams, and implement strategies that reduce incidents and improve productivity. The MSP and CSD exams are designed to focus on practical workplace safety knowledge. They emphasize real-world application of regulations, best practices, and consensus standards rather than abstract scientific or engineering concepts.

Both certifications offer four eligibility tracks, which provide options for experienced professionals regardless of whether they hold a degree. Candidates receive access to exam blueprints and reference materials so they can evaluate their readiness before applying. NASP also offers optional preparation courses for those who want additional support before taking the exam.

The MSP and CSD exams are third-party proctored, closed-book exams that include 150 questions with three hours allotted for completion. The exams cover key safety domains outlined in each certification blueprint.

Moving Forward

If you are considering elevating your career in the safety field, pursuing the MSP or CSD certification is a meaningful and rewarding step. These credentials demonstrate your commitment to creating safer workplaces and expanding your leadership potential.

Congratulations once again to all newly certified MSP and CSD professionals. NASP celebrates your success and looks forward to your continued contributions to the safety community.
