Certified Healthcare Safety Professional (CHSP): Advancing Safety in Healthcare Environments

On November 24, 2024, I earned the Certified Healthcare Safety Professional (CHSP) credential, a designation focused on the unique challenges of safety in healthcare environments.

The CHSP exam covers hospital safety management, infection control, hazardous materials, life safety codes, and patient-centered risk reduction. It bridges occupational safety with healthcare compliance, recognizing that protecting patients, staff, and visitors requires a specialized skillset.

For me, this credential represented the intersection of my safety expertise with the healthcare environment I’ve served in for years. It’s a commitment not only to worker safety, but also to patient well-being and organizational resilience.
