Fifty-five were in the SCTPP “inaugural class” that finished in January.
ARTBA launched the program in fall 2016 as a means of creating a safety benchmark for “future civil engineering and construction management program graduates who are interested in employment with industry leading firms.” Certification is valid for three years.
The exam for the program consists of up to 120 multiple-choice questions covering knowledge about assessing project risks, creating safety plans, implementation and conducting ongoing evaluation of a site-specific operational safety plan, and conducting incident investigations.
ARTBA says the program meets requirements for accreditation by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization ISO/IEC 17024: “Conformity Assessment: General Requirements for Bodies Operating Certification of Persons.”
