Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CHST certification and who is it for?

The Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST) certification is a credential offered by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP). It's designed for safety practitioners who have construction safety responsibilities but may not yet meet the requirements for higher-level certifications like the CSP.

What are the eligibility requirements to sit for the CHST exam?

To be eligible, candidates must:

  • Have at least three (3) years of experience in construction safety, health, and environment.
  • Have duties that require technical skills and knowledge in safety, with at least 35% of their primary job duties involving safety, health, and environmental practice related to the construction industry.
  • Hold a high school diploma or equivalent.

What topics are covered on the CHST exam?

The exam covers a wide range of construction safety and health topics. The main domains include:

  • Domain 1: Hazard and Risk Identification and Control
  • Domain 2: Emergency Preparedness, Incident Investigation, and Response
  • Domain 3: Safety Program Development, Implementation, and Sustainment
  • Domain 4: Leadership, Communication, and Training

What is the passing score for the CHST exam?

The BCSP uses scaled scoring, and the passing point is set at 700 on a scale of 200-900. This accounts for variations in exam difficulty across different versions. You'll receive your pass/fail result immediately after completing the computer-based exam.

What happens on the day of the exam and what should I expect at the test centre?

Candidates must present government‐issued photo ID matching the name on file with BCSP, agree to candidate rules, and complete computer‐based testing at a Pearson VUE centre. The exam environment is secure and personal items (phones, etc.) are typically not allowed.

How should I prepare for the CHST exam?

Start by reviewing the BCSP exam blueprint to understand the content areas and their weights. Study OSHA construction standards (29 CFR 1926), use Prephow CHST practice questions to identify weak areas, and consider joining study groups or taking prep courses. Most candidates recommend 2-3 months of dedicated study time.

What happens if I fail the CHST exam? Can I retake it?

Yes, you can retake the exam if you don't pass. You'll need to wait at least 90 days before your next attempt and pay the exam fee again. The BCSP will provide a diagnostic report showing which content areas you struggled with, so you can focus your study efforts for the retake.

What are the professional benefits of obtaining CHST certification?

The CHST credential demonstrates a high level of applied competence, which can lead to greater credibility, enhanced career opportunities, and potential for higher earning potential in the construction safety field.
