Hi Qureshi - if you are in occupational safety, then typical certifications are OHS certificate/CRSP which are required by employers. For construction/field safety an NCSO is also preferred. As far as I know, these certifications are very difficult to obtain if you are not physically in Canada. Another option could be the US based ASP/CSP certifications through BCSP which are recognized in Canada.

For Process safety, typically employers require a P.Eng or an eligibility to obtain P.Eng.

Hope this helps.

Martina, if you are already in Canada, look into the OHST and NCSO designations. These are entry level certifications for people with some experience (bonus points if you already have a degree in OHS). Also look into Associate Safety Professional/Certified Safety Professional or the Canadian equivalent of CRSP.

Most jobs in safety (especially Occupational Safety) require these certifications before employers will consider your resume. Diploma assessments, unless required by any of the above-mentioned certifying bodies, may not be the most efficient path.

My background is in Process Safety and not occupational safety, so a P.Eng is sufficient (and required) for this role.

Hi Qureishi, my background is not in occupational safety, so can't comment on online trainings etc. However, typical job postings list NCSO, OHST, CRSP etc as requirements. The US-based CSP certification is considered the equivalent to the Canadian CRSP. As far as I know, only the CSP certification can be obtained from outside North America (CRSP requires physical presence in Canada).

If you can write the CSP exam successfully, that should be helpful in the job-hunting process. As far as the market is concerned, the situation in Alberta in the Oil/Gas market is not encouraging. However, other provinces with industries not linked to Oil/Gas (manufacturing, petrochemicals, fertilizers) are still hiring, albeit with a higher degree of selectivity due to the availability of a lot of applicants.
