Getting an associate degree (a two-year associate degree is currently required rather than a one-year diploma) in industrial safety should be, according to the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP), the first step in becoming a Certified Safety Professional (CSP). The reward for being a CSP can be $30,000 additional annual income and a total of $600,000 extra in lifetime earnings (References 1). This means that the degree you get should be one that is accepted by the BCSP and one that makes you employable as an industrial safety professional in any state.

Instructions

1.Find educational institutions that hold specialized institutional accreditation in the industrial safety area and offer on-line or on-campus programs suitable for your situation. The U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation can provide references to the appropriate accrediting bodies in the United States to help you find these.
2.Examine the offerings of academic institutions that might fit your interests, vocational situation and financial condition. A typical requirement for an Associate of Applied Science in Occupational Safety and Health degree is 60 semester hours (References 2). Classes would be divided among general studies, required technical courses and electives. A local community college may offer night courses and the degree you need. On the other hand, studying on-line may be your only option. The decision is up to you as to which accredited path you will take to acquire a valuable career tool.

3.Examine the catalogs of institutions of interest, and ensure they offer what you need and that you can meet their admissions requirements. Check out the schools' costs per semester hour and any additional fees.
4.Select one or more institutions and apply. Take care to supply all the information requested on the applications.
5.Evaluate any acceptances, and notify the institution that you select. Then work hard to achieve your goal.
