Health and Safety Technician case studies
Health and Safety Technician · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Construction Health and Safety Technician® (CHST®) is a certification offered by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) for people who carry safety, health, and environmental (SH&E) responsibilities on construction projects and jobsites. According to BCSP, those duties may be all or only part of the role, and the expertise may span one or more significant projects. Candidates may work for an owner, a general contractor, a subcontractor, or a firm involved in SH&E practice and/or construction. BCSP notes that many employers assign construction SH&E functions to people in critical worker-leading roles, and that many practitioners use the CHST as a path to larger SH&E roles.
