BCSP ASP study plan

Classify 40 hazard examples into the standard hazard categories (chemical, physical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial, safety) with 90% accuracy

Build a hierarchy-of-controls decision tree that maps each hazard category to at least two preferred control strategies

Score 25 short incident scenarios by selecting the highest-order feasible control and justifying the rejection of lower-order options

Assemble a hazard-identification walkthrough checklist covering 8 work-area types (e.g., confined space, electrical, material handling)

Perform a qualitative risk assessment on 30 hazards using a 5x5 probability-severity matrix and rank them by residual risk

Apply the hierarchy of controls to the top 10 ranked risks and document expected residual risk after each control

Calculate risk scores before and after controls and identify which 5 risks still exceed the organization's acceptability threshold

Explain how risk tolerance, ALARP-style reasoning, and cost-benefit judgment shape control selection in 5 written justifications

Outline the structure and key duties of the OSH Act, including the general duty clause and employer/employee responsibilities

Apply the general duty clause and specific standards to 12 enforcement scenarios and state which standard or clause governs

Classify 30 injury and illness cases as recordable or non-recordable under the injury/illness recordkeeping rule and identify the correct form (300, 301, 300A)

Compute TRIR, DART rate, and severity rate from a supplied 12-month data set without reference notes

Compare at least four incident-causation models (domino, energy-release, systems/barrier, human-factors) and match each to a real case narrative

Diagnose root causes in 10 case studies using a structured causal-analysis method and separate root from contributing causes

Describe how safety culture, human error, and prevention-through-design interact, and identify 6 design-level interventions that eliminate hazards

Complete a timed 60-item mixed practice test and log every missed item by domain and error type

Map a 20-element safety management system framework (policy, roles, accountability, planning, implementation, evaluation, correction) against a mock organization

Distinguish leading from lagging indicators and select 8 leading indicators appropriate to the mock organization

Draft policy language that assigns safety accountability to line management with defined performance measures

Design a quarterly management-review and audit cycle that closes the loop on corrective actions

Conduct a training-needs assessment for 8 job roles and identify which roles require which mandated or risk-driven training

Write 6 measurable learning objectives using observable action verbs and matched assessment methods

Build and deliver a 30-minute training module, then evaluate it at all four evaluation levels (reaction, learning, behavior, results)

Critique 4 sample toolbox talks and hazard-communication messages for readability and comprehension barriers

Identify 25 environmental aspects of a mock operation and rank them by environmental impact and regulatory exposure

Outline permit, reporting, and recordkeeping obligations for air emissions, wastewater discharge, and hazardous waste accumulation

Describe spill prevention, stormwater, and waste-minimization controls and match each to the aspects it addresses

Compare ISO 14001-style environmental management elements to the safety management system built in week 5 and note 5 shared processes

Complete two full-length timed practice exams under test conditions and score each domain separately

Re-drill the three lowest-scoring domains from the error log until each reaches 80% on a targeted 20-item set

Consolidate all formulas, rate calculations, recordkeeping thresholds, and hierarchy-of-controls rules onto a single reference sheet

Rehearse a 15-minute teach-back of the hazard-control and risk-assessment workflow to confirm retention
