Thousands of workplace deaths each year can be attributed to one main issue, a lack of proper safety training. Safety training isn’t just a good idea; Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations require that your personnel be trained. Education and training are fundamental tools for informing workers and managers about workplace hazards and controls so they can work more safely and be more productive.
The National Association of Safety Professionals (NASP), a strategic partner of NACD, provides industry professionals with market-leading training and professional certifications in the environmental, health, and safety fields. The primary mission of NASP is to provide industry professionals with innovative training opportunities and professional certification to assist them in carrying out their safety-related functions with confidence and proven competence.
NASP offers both online and instructor-led professional development courses to teach our students the latest trends in regulatory compliance, all while earning valuable Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Emphasizing our commitment to training adults in various regulatory requirements, we have created an immersive learning experience designed to maximize adoption and ease of use from an administrative and end-user point-of-view. Our instructor-led courses, including the world-renowned Certified Safety Manager (CSM) course, are continually recognized as the premier in cutting-edge safety training by our EHS peers and taught by veterans in the field. Our online courses are intuitive, easy to navigate, and are dynamically designed to be user-friendly even for those with limited computer knowledge. The International Accreditors (IACET) accredits all NASP training courses for Continuing Education and Training.
NASP understands deciding on a safety training provider can be overwhelming. What sets NASP apart from many others is that we fully embrace the science of adult learning, known as andragogy. We apply adult learning principles to immerse and engage our participants on a level not achieved by the cookie-cutter online providers that mass produce content. These learning principles, such as understanding that learning as an adult is problem-centered rather than content-oriented, can provide information in a format that builds upon the growing reservoir of experience that each employee has learned throughout their careers. This process ultimately leads to better retention of information, producing a safer working employee.
As an NACD member, you can take advantage of NASP products at a discount! Whether you are interested in a site-specific course where NASP comes to your facility, want to enroll in an online course, or wish to have a course custom-built for your organization’s hazards, NASP has you covered.
