The National Construction Safety Officer (NCSO) is a new national safety designation designed to replace a number of similar provincial designations. It was approved by the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Association after several years of discussion and consultation with stakeholders across the country. In BC, it will replace the Construction Safety Specialist (CSS), currently offered by the BCCSA.
The primary objective of this program is to recognize individuals who possess construction safety knowledge and skills through a combination of entry-level safety training and field experience.
The NCSO Designation has come to BC. We are happy to report that the application is now live.
