BCSP CSP study plan

Map each exam-relevant legal concept (OSH Act structure, standards hierarchy, General Duty Clause, recordkeeping, workers' compensation, torts) into a one-page outline built from primary sources

Distinguish employer, controlling employer, and multi-employer worksite duties and explain how each is cited

Apply the BCSP Code of Ethics to three ambiguous practice scenarios and write a defensible justification for each decision

Compile a 40-term legal and ethical vocabulary list with definitions traced to statutes, regulations, or the Code

Rank hazards with both a qualitative risk matrix and a semi-quantitative scoring method, documenting the assumptions behind each rating

Select the best analysis technique (JSA, HAZOP, FMEA, FTA, LOPA) for five described systems and defend each selection in writing

Construct a bow-tie diagram tying one top event to its prevention and mitigation barriers

Re-solve every Domain 9 item missed in week 1 and explain the correct reasoning aloud without notes

Solve exposure calculations (TWA, STEL, mixture rules, extended-shift PEL adjustment) with no reference material and verify units

Apply gas laws, stoichiometry, and vapor density to predict contaminant behavior in a confined space

Convert among ppm, mg/m3, and percent by volume at stated temperature and pressure

Compute descriptive and inferential statistics (mean, standard deviation, confidence interval, sample size) for a sampling dataset

Derive and check ventilation, noise dose, and heat stress results for three worked scenarios

Compare at least five causation models (domino, energy-barrier, Swiss-cheese, systemic, HFACS) and apply each to a single case study

Calculate incidence rate, severity rate, DART, and TRIR from raw case and exposure-hours data

Interpret the Heinrich and Bird accident pyramids and state the statistical criticisms of each

Classify human error types (slip, lapse, mistake, violation) across three incident narratives

Draft an SMS gap analysis against the clause structure of ISO 45001 and ANSI Z10

Select leading and lagging indicators for three organizational scenarios and justify each choice

Apply the NIOSH lifting equation to compute RWL and lifting index for four manual handling tasks

Evaluate a workstation against anthropometric percentiles and recommend redesign supported by RULA or REBA scores

Quantify direct and indirect costs for three incident scenarios using recognized cost-of-risk models

Design an engineering control package (guarding, interlocks, lockout/tagout) for a specified machine and state the residual risk

Differentiate contractual risk transfer, insurance, and self-retention within a loss control program

Re-score ergonomic risk for the week 5 tasks after applying controls and quantify the risk reduction

Classify materials by flash point, flammability limits, and hazard class, then match each to a suppression agent

Compute egress capacity and allowable travel distance for a stated occupancy

Build an emergency action plan outline containing roles, alarm levels, and an accountability method

Design a drill evaluation rubric and score a tabletop exercise against it

Complete two full-length timed practice exams and analyze results by domain and by cognitive level (recall versus application)

Re-teach the five weakest concepts from a blank page and verify each against a reference source

Rehearse calculation item types under 90-second-per-item time pressure

Finalize a test-day strategy covering item triage, flagging, and time allocation
