CSP SAFETY PREP: PASS YOUR BCSP CERTIFICATION EXAM
The Certified Safety Professional exam has a 58 percent first-attempt pass rate. Candidates who fail are most often weak on incident rate calculations, ergonomics, workers compensation, and OSHA citation classification.
INCIDENT RATE CALCULATOR
TCIR: total OSHA recordable cases times 200,000 divided by total hours worked. DART: cases with days away, restricted, or job transfer times 200,000 divided by hours. Severity Rate: total days lost times 200,000 divided by hours. 200,000 hours equals 100 full-time employees working 50 weeks at 40 hours per week. Enter total cases, hours, and days lost to get all four rates with industry benchmark comparison.
HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS GUIDE
Level 1 — Elimination: remove the hazard. Most effective. Level 2 — Substitution: replace with something less dangerous. Level 3 — Engineering Controls: isolate people from hazard through design (machine guarding, ventilation, interlocks). Does not rely on worker behavior. Level 4 — Administrative Controls: change work procedures (job rotation, training, warning signs). Relies on worker behavior. Level 5 — PPE: least effective, relies entirely on worker behavior and proper fit. PPE alone is never acceptable when a higher-level control is feasible.
OSHA CITATION REFERENCE
Other-than-serious: probably would not cause death or serious harm. Penalty up to $16,550. Serious: substantial probability of death or serious harm, employer knew or should have known. Penalty $1,144 to $16,550. Willful: intentional or plain indifference. Penalty $11,524 to $165,514. Repeated: substantially similar violation within 5 years. Penalty up to $165,514. Failure to abate: not corrected by abatement date. Penalty up to $16,550 per day.
