BCSP and NCCER Partnership Strengthens Construction Safety and Career Pathways 

The Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) and the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) have partnered to elevate safety education and certifications across the construction industry and to more widely promote the successful career opportunities available in the industry. 

NCCER’s Construction Foreman Certification Program and its Field Safety and Safety Technology curricula align with BCSP’s Safety Trained Supervisor Construction (STSC)  and Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST) certifications. Craft professionals who complete these NCCER programs are on a clear pathway to the STSC and CHST, accelerating their career advancement while ensuring industry-wide consistency in safety practices. 

BCSP and NCCER have also partnered to collaborate on research related to construction safety. 

Together, BCSP and NCCER are building a stronger, safer future for the construction workforce. By fostering career growth at every stage, enhancing jobsite safety, and preparing teams for the evolving demands of modern construction, this collaboration is paving the way for the next generation of safety leaders and further establishing the construction industry as an industry of choice.
