The Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) team is proud to recognize Billy Garner for achieving his Associate Safety Professional (ASP) certification through the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP).
About BCSP and the ASP Credential
Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, BCSP is a not-for-profit corporation and a global leader in credentialing for safety, health, and environmental (SH&E) practitioners. Since 1969, over 100,000 BCSP credentials have been awarded, setting a high standard of competency for safety professionals around the world.
The ASP certification demonstrates a broad scope of knowledge in SH&E practice and is a key milestone toward the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) designation. ASPs may serve in technical or program management roles, directly supervise employees, and provide expertise in safety assurance methodologies.
Achieving the ASP credential is no small feat—the examination consists of 200 rigorous multiple-choice questionscompleted within a five-hour timeframe. ASPs must also remain current in their practice by earning recertification points every five years.
Billy’s achievement not only reflects his personal commitment to excellence, but also strengthens our EHS team’s ability to support the University of Tennessee’s safety culture. His success reflects the impact of continuous growth, shared knowledge, and leadership in strengthening our safety culture.
Congratulations, Billy, on this outstanding accomplishment!
