STSC Candidate
Safety Trained Supervisor in Construction
BHI will be selecting and preparing certain and willing individuals at BHI to take the STSC exam through the Board of Certified Safety Professional (BCSP) to ensure that BHI's Culture includes safety minded leadership at all levels of the organization.
Once an employee takes and passes the exam, they will receive a bump to their wages and become Operation Safety Leads for their division in their respective regions which will bring additional responsibilities
Safety Culture and Climate
The Board of Certified Safety Professional fulfills industry and global demand for validating highly competent safety practitioners with varying amounts of formal education and significant amounts of experience.
BCSP certifications create a unified safety culture by setting baseline competencies of safety knowledge and skills throughout the organization.
The best safety cultures require safety competency across the organization and also value safety leadership at all levels.
STSC BLUEPRINT
Every five (5) years, or more often if necessary, BCSP revalidates all certification examinations. During the revalidation process a new blueprint is created that reflects the consensus of the profession as to the key elements a minimally qualified candidate must possess to be deemed competent.
The Safety Trained Supervisor Construction® (STSC®) examination began its revalidation process in 2020, and a new blueprint was generated. The following is a synopsis of the changes:
Overall, a significant amount of the general concepts identified in the current blueprint carried over to the new blueprint.
Domain 2 increased in length due to the inclusion of more specific and detailed statements compared to the more general statements that appeared on the current blueprint.
In Domain 3 the focus shifted slightly from Skill statements to Knowledge statements.
Domain 5 showed the largest number of changes with the focus shifting from Leadership, Communication, and Training to Ethics and Leadership. Some of the previous statements from this domain now appear in Domains 1 and 2.
The domain weights (percentages) decreased significantly for Domain 2 and shifted to Domains 3 and 4.
The new STSC blueprint is tentatively expected to be effective in early 2022.
