National Health & Safety Administrator Designation Program

This disclaimer is to all existing HSA (Health and Safety Administrator) participants, that the HSA designation will no longer be offered. However, we assure you that your current HSA designation remains valid.

We understand that many participants may be interested in pursuing the NHSA™ (National Health and Safety Administrator) designation, which offers updated and enhanced knowledge in the field of construction safety. To transition to the NHSA™ designation, you will need to complete a new application, update your course requirements, undertake the National exam portion, and pay the applicable fee.

We encourage all participants to carefully review the information provided and consider the benefits of obtaining the NHSA™ designation. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to promoting safety in the construction industry.

The objective of the National Health & Safety Administrator (NHSA™) program is to provide formal training for an administrator of a health and safety program, who does not possess a minimum of 3 years of construction field experience. The NHSA™ can provide valuable assistance to employers in the administration and implementation of the company’s health and safety program. This certification indicates to employers that the participant has theoretical knowledge of various health and safety management skills and principles
