The Canadian Registered Safety Professional certification is a widely accepted form of recognition by industry and government in Canada. This certification is given by the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP), a public interest and not-for-profit association. Founded in 1976, this group is dedicated to the principles of health and safety as a profession. The BCRSP administers occupational health and safety exams and certifies qualified occupational health and safety professionals.

We’ve talked a lot about planning so far and how to approach scheduling. However, the key point which is foundational to success is being realistic with yourself. No matter how detailed or specific your plan is, if it isn’t realistic and reflective of your circumstances, then it will not work. Individuals and companies who do not have expectations that reflect the reality of their circumstances always end up with a result that falls short or is not what they were aiming for. Not only that, but it also often creates unnecessary stress and losses.

The reason for this is because, following the first attempt you will have 12 months to use your other 2 attempts. Let’s take a look at some examples.
