Certified Transportation Safety Professional
The Saskatchewan Trucking Association (STA) and its board have recognized the importance of industry-relevant training for safety practitioners.

The Certified Transportation Safety Professional (CTSP) is a specialist-level designation that establishes the benchmark for the experience and knowledge required to be a certified safety professional. This individual will receive the skills needed to develop and manage a carrier’s safety and compliance programs, and will often supervise the day-to-day functions of others in the organization.
All the courses identified will develop the candidate’s ability to demonstrate the required competencies, through the completion of 8 mandatory, 3 electives, and 8 hours of seminar/conference attendance, resulting in eligibility to challenge the CTSP Exam.
