Mike Weigand Ph.D.

 

Session Description:

This is a three-day review course for those preparing for the Safety Fundamentals Examination, leading to the
designation of Associate Safety Professional (ASP), the foundation to become a Certified Safety Professional
(CSP).  The course is an excellent review for those desiring to 1) determine whether they are ready to attempt
the Safety Fundamentals Exam, 2) identify areas where extra preparation is needed, 3) become familiar with the
resources available to prepare for the exam, 4) review content material in an informal environment utilizing a
“testing” environment, and 5) minimize “test shock” for those who have not taken an exam of this magnitude. 
The presenters are nationally recognized for their expertise in providing these preparation workshops.
