DESIGNATIONS

The objective of the SMA program is to provide knowledge, skills and solid training in the application and practices of the administration of a safety management system (SMS). This program will interest individuals currently administering a SMS, or individuals already working in safety-related positions who require broader legal and technical knowledge to function effectively within their organizations. The SMA can provide valuable assistance to employers and their Manufacturing Safety Professional(s) in the administration and implementation of the company’s health and safety program. This certification indicates to employers that the participant has practical knowledge in various health and safety management skills and principles.

The Manufacturing Safety Professional (MSP) program was developed in response to the growing need for expertise in the health and safety profession within Saskatchewan’s manufacturing sector. SASM’s MSP program is designed for health and safety professionals who wish to elevate their health and safety knowledge in order to combine formal training with the individual’s personal field experience within the manufacturing sector. To obtain the MSP designation, you must meet specific criteria as well as successfully complete sixteen (16) courses: twelve (12) mandatory courses and four (4) elective courses.
