Why COSS

For 20 years, the Certified Occupational Safety Specialist (COSS) program has helped workers master the core competencies necessary to be successful in the occupational safety and health field. COSS is ideal for those new to safety or someone looking for a refresher. The only prerequisite for COSS is a high school diploma. 

The Certificate for Occupational Safety Managers (COSM) program is designed to help safety professionals advance in their careers. COSM offers specialized training for those with a minimum of 2 years of safety, health or environmental work experience.

Upon completion of the COSS program, safety professionals will be able to:

  • Identify hazards, determine regulatory requirements and implement corrective actions
  • Perform risk analyses for key jobs and processes
  • Differentiate between safety audits and inspections
  • Prepare and present effective safety training presentations
  • Develop and maintain company safety programs

INVEST IN YOURSELF
& BECOME A LEADER
IN SAFETY

Upon completion of the COSM program, safety leaders will walk away with extensive knowledge regarding:

  • Essentials of Safety Management
  • Strategic Planning & Evaluating for Safety Success
  • Managing Risk & Safety Finance
  • Communicating the Safety Message
  • Injury Management, Incentives and Discipline

TAKE THE NEXT STEP
IN YOUR SAFETY MANAGEMENT
CAREER

The COSS Series goes beyond compliance alone and includes:

  • Daily homework & quizzes
  • Daily Compliance Moments (performing analyses of hazardous conditions)
  • 10-minute Safety Presentation
  • Proctored Final Exam

“I first took COSS training in 2010 after realizing the need for external training. It wasn’t until 2014, I believe, that other employees started taking the COSS training. Since then, many others have followed suit. Just want to say thank you for the training, which was very beneficial in my career as an Operations Manager.”
