The CRSPEX is a criterion-referenced examination which tests whether qualified examination candidates have demonstrated a minimum standard of practice. The examination is a closed book, 3½ -hour multiple choice examination delivered by computer-based testing (CBT) at proctored examination centres. Assessment Strategies Inc. (ASI)[2] is the BCRSP’s examination consultants. The examination is developed on computer based testing through Kryterion‘s [3] test centre network. The CRSP Examination Blueprint [4] was developed to guide those involved in the development of the CRSPEX and to provide the public (e.g., examinees, educators, administrators) with practical information about the examination.[5]

Recertification

After obtaining the CRSP/PSAC certification, there is a mandatory certification maintenance program (CMP)and renewal requirement in order to maintain certification with the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP).

The corporate logo,[6] Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP)[7] and CRSP[8] PSAC[9] are registered with Industry Canada and its use is prohibited except on printed or symbolic items provided by the Board or its designated suppliers.

Formation

The Canadian Society of Safety Engineering’s Education & Research Committee reported a need for a generalist certification for Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) practitioners. In November 1974, a steering committee was formed to implement recommendations and establish the first Board of Governors. A meeting was held March 3, 1975 and the proposed name was Canadian Registered Safety Professional. Consumer and Corporate Affairs issued a Letters Patent on February 10, 1976.

Reciprocal Agreements

BCRSP has Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (USA)[14] and the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (UK).[15]

The MOUs allow either CSPs (USA designation) or CMIOSHs (UK designation) to apply for the CRSP/PSAC certification through a streamlined application process.
