What is COSS?

You can never know too much about safety. Whether you are an employer looking to improve your workplace, a newly appointed safety professional, or a veteran in the field looking to update your knowledge, COSS is the class for you. What is COSS? COSS stands for Certified Occupational Safety Specialist. It’s a certification that identifies someone in the health and safety field who coordinates and implements corporate safety plan. In some cases they conduct training seminars and provide support to safety and training managers.

This is why every workplace can benefit from the knowledge of those with COSS training. Accidents unfortunately happen, and every company can benefit from an employee with the knowledge and understanding of how to make it safer. That is why we recommend that you join us for one of our upcoming COSS training courses.
