The Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP) is pleased to announce 55 individuals were awarded the Canadian Registered Safety Technician (CRST®) certification on May 12, 2023.

The CRST® certification was introduced in 2018 to support the evolving needs of industry. The CRST® certification process requires individuals to meet qualification standards, including education and experience requirements, pass the CRST Examination, and stay up to date through a continuous professional development process. 

At the June 2023 meeting of the Governing Board, the Board approved an annual fee increase commencing with the 2024 renewal period.  The fees starting with the 2024 renewals will increase to $300 CDN/year, representing a $50 CDN increase. The Board is also introducing an ‘early bird’ renewal fee discount of $25 CDN so if you renew your annual fee prior to January 15, the fee will be $275 CDN. After January 15, and until February 28 the fee of $300 CDN applies.  The late fee will also increase from $25 CDN to $50 CDN for renewals paid after February 28, and before March 31.

Dear Certificants,

I hope you are all in good health and high spirits as we get closer to the warm weather coming our way. I have gathered together highlights of the BCRSP initiatives over the past several months. As you read through you will see the diversity of knowledge, commitment and dedication that I see when I meet with peers. What a wonderful assembly of individuals we have amongst us. I am grateful to serve as chair of the BCRSP and to witness the continuous success that we achieve individually and collectively.
