National Association of Safety Professionals

NASP initially offered workplace safety in-house training on a contract basis to business and industry, train-the-trainer courses for safety professionals, specialized training for those responsible for safety in the workplace, and consultative services to business and industry. Independent study courses were developed to allow those who could not attend classroom courses to still receive NASP training. NASP now provides classroom training in business and industrial facilities and in contract facilities across the US. NASP consultants provide mock OSHA inspections, development of safety plans and programs, and other consulting services across the US. In 2011, NASP (operating as IASP) opened offices in Cairo, Egypt and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In 2012, NASP added petroleum safety courses to its existing construction and general industry offerings. NASP also has chapters in the US and overseas operated by members. NASP and IASP chapters also provide safety training in their geographical areas. In accordance with NASP's eight principles of a safe workplace and safety philosophy, the primary objectives of the National Association of Safety Professionals are: to build upon safety experience in the field and to teach innovative ways of ensuring that employees and students understand and retain more of the critical information necessary to prevent accidents and save lives, to provide support for safety professionals through access to quality resident training courses, access to quality independent study courses and access to quality and affordable training, planning and assessment materials, and to provide expertise in planning and implementing safety programs. Since there is no formal government approval or accreditation of certifying agencies, the value of a certification is determined by its acceptance and recognition.Click here for a sampling of Government Agencies, Universities, and Major Companies funding their employees for NASP Certifications and Training: The National Association of Safety Professionals is accredited by the International Association of Safety Professionals: Click here to see what our students have been saying.
