As co-creator of the Professional Safety Institute at the Safety Center Incorporated
in Sacramento, California, Bob Lapidus, CSP has created nine of the twelve days
of training for the Safety Management Specialist Certificate program. Individual

The other three days of training are conducted by Katherine Abbott, a professional presentations coach. She
teaches a three-day course entitled Conducting Training Programs and Presentations.
|
The above courses are full-day courses designed for full-time and part-time safety
specialists. Others who take these courses include safety committee members and
other employees who are involved in creating organizational safety programs.
|
The series is available to be taught on site as well as at the Safety Center's facilities.
In some cases, the on-site employer does not need the OSHA Recordkeeping course.
In those cases, Bob teaches Managing Risk instead. This course concerns three major
subjects that most safety people need to know something about: Liability Loss Control,
Fire Protection Engineering, and Emergency Management.
New for 2009 is the Certified Safety Management Specialist (CSMS), an exam-based
certification based upon the 12-day Safety Management Specialist Certification program.

Bob also taught Safety Specialist Certificate courses for the Texas Safety Association
(TSA) from 2000 to 2004.

Safety Management for Managers and Supervisors (Employees-Who-Supervise)
Bob has adapted these programs and created a one-day manager and supervisor course
entitled Safety Management for Managers and Supervisors. This program provides managers
and supervisors the tools they need to implement successful safety programs for
their employees.
|
Managers and Supervisors (Employees-Who-Supervise)
Bob also adapted his safety management-related training programs to assist
managers and supervisors in their efforts to be better at what they do. For his
Master's degree paper, Bob's subject was solving supervisory problems.
