CD & Associates’ Construction Health and Safety Specialist, Obbey Thaxton has successfully completed a 162-hour certificate program focused on construction safety management to become a “Construction Safety and Health Manager” (CSHM).
The CSHM program consists of 33 separate courses covering topics ranging from safety supervision and leadership to accident/ incident investigation; the CSHM program also includes hazard and OSHA standard-specific technical trainings. The CSHM program is designed for current or potential OSH managers or directors in the construction industry who are responsible for establishing or managing their organization’s safety and health program.
All BCSP certifications are accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB). BCSP certifications meet such high professional standards that they are recognized as model credentials worldwide. We want to recognize the commitment it takes to prepare for this certification in order to pass a closed book (4) hour proxied exam. It takes many years of experience dedication and studying to achieve the title of CHST®.
The OHST® certification demonstrates a professional’s occupational hygiene knowledge and skills and is typically achieved by safety and health practitioners responsible for industrial hygiene and occupational safety. Prior to transitioning to his current role as a Project Superintendent, Dave supported CD & Associates projects as a a safety and health professional.
