OUR CERTIFICATIONS
Benefit of certification
In today’s competitive work environment, now more than ever, organizations value professionals with skills, competencies, and validated expertise. Individuals achieving beyond the normal bring professionalism to their organizations. Earning an IBFCSM credential demonstrates that you met professional requirements and passed a challenging examination. Earning your credential indicates a high level of personal commitment to excellence and illustrates a desire to be a leader in your profession.
Our Misison statement
The IBFCSM mission of “Upgrading Professions” remains unchanged since 1976. As an independent Nonprofit 501C(6) credentialing organization, our Board oversees certification process opportunities in the areas of healthcare safety, hazard control management, emergency and disaster management, and product safety. IBFCSM operates in a fair, consistent, and impartial manner. The Board never restricts certification opportunities based on membership requirements, unrealistic eligibility criteria, exorbitant costs, or completion of mandatory education and training. IBFCSM encourages all eligible and qualified individuals to apply for certification.

Jim and the staff at IBFCSM worked with young Federal Safety Professionals (as I was) at the Army Safety Center back in 2009. Twelve years later I’m proud to still hold my two credentials (CHCM, CHSP) but now at OSHA. Thanks Jim and IBFCSM! - Ben Bailey via LinkedIn
