Musselwhite achieves certified safety designation
Alicia Musselwhite of Mississippi State's Office of Environmental Health and Safety has achieved the credential of Certified Safety Professional (CSP).
CSP qualifications are based on professional safety practice in the U.S. The general CSP requirements include education, professional safety experience, demonstrating knowledge of professional safety practice, and passing a comprehensive exam.
According to the Board of Certified Safety Professionals, “the CSP credential is the mark of the safety professional. Like the Professional Engineer designation for engineers or the Certified Public Accountant designation for accountants, the CSP certification marks individuals who have met educational and experience standards and passed rigorous examinations validated against the practice of hundreds of safety professionals.”
As the university's safety officer, Musselwhite helps to coordinate fire and building safety, first aid and CPR, and occupational safety, among other responsibilities. Learn more about EHS at www.ehs.msstate.edu.
