NHSA™ (National Health and Safety Administrator)
NHSA™ (National Health and Safety Administrator)
certification is a professional designation recognized by all
provincial and territorial construction safety associations across
Canada — members of the
Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations
.
NHSA™ certification is designed to recognize the
skills of those who undertake safety functions for their company at an
administrative level, often administrators or human resources
professionals who perform functions such as managing claims, promoting
safety, ensuring the company follows health and safety regulations,
maintaining safety records, or compiling safety statistics.*
Individuals certified under the NHSA™ designation will
have demonstrated the skills to:
-
Assist management to implement, maintain, and monitor a
company’s health and safety system.
-
Review and identify various health and safety issues specific to
the work site and company operations.
-
Communicate effectively with government, occupational health and
safety officers, management, and workers regarding all aspects of
health and safety.
NHSA™ certification is a stepping stone to becoming a
leader in the construction health and safety field.
*Those with three years of construction field experience may consider
the NCSO® (National Construction Safety Officer)
certification, which recognizes the skills of those who undertake
safety functions for their company on the jobsite.
