The professional credential owned and awarded by the American Institute of Safety Professionals (AISP)

About the CHSM™ Credential

The Certified Health and Safety Manager (CHSM™) is AISP’s flagship certification for
professionals responsible for leading, implementing, and maintaining workplace health and
safety programs. It is an intensive, industry-focused credential designed to equip candidates
with the knowledge and competencies required to manage occupational health and safety
across diverse industries — including regulatory compliance, risk assessment, safety program
development, emergency response, and safety leadership.
The CHSM™ is a single, uniform credential regardless of where the training is delivered.
Whether a candidate prepares through AISP directly or through one of AISP’s Authorized
Training Partners, the certification originates from and is awarded by one source: the American
Institute of Safety Professionals (AISP).

Awarding Body — American Institute of Safety Professionals (AISP)

The CHSM™ credential is issued solely under the authority of AISP. AISP owns the CHSM™
program, sets and maintains its curriculum and examination standards, and is the sole awarding
body for the certification. Training toward the CHSM™ may be delivered by AISP or by its
Authorized Training Partners under authorization; however, the credential itself, and the right to
award it, belong exclusively to AISP.
All CHSM™ certificates are issued under AISP’s authority and are verifiable through AISP’s
official verification system.
