Indianapolis -- Scott Montgomery earned his Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST) certification last week.
Candidates for the CHST certification are typically employed as safety and health specialists on construction job sites, serving in either full-time or part-time positions. Typical individuals are responsible for safety and health on one or more significant construction projects or job sites. They may work for an owner, general contractor, subcontractor, or firm involved in construction or construction safety.
The examination, which became computer-based in 1997, contains 200 multiple choice questions. Candidates have four hours to complete the examination. The four task areas covered by the examination (and the portion devoted to each) are as follows:
* Program Management (29%)
* Worksite Auditing (40%)
* Training (27%)
* Professional Responsibility (4%)
Congratulations to Scott for obtaining this important certification.
