The Alberta Society of Health and Safety Professionals (ASHSP), established in 2017, is committed to advancing Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) as a recognized profession in Alberta.  ASHSP is actively pursuing legal title and scope of practice protections to ensure only qualified professionals can claim expertise in OHS. Currently, the absence of such protections allows anyone to self-identify as an OHS professional, regardless of qualifications. ASHSP aims to address this gap by establishing a Professional Regulatory Organization (PRO) to uphold standards, protect public safety, and serve the health and safety needs of Albertans.
