To employers:

The program allows you to employ a certified safety trainer and make your company safer without having to hire additional staff.

A strong safety culture will lead to reduced work-related accidents, injuries and the costs associated with them.

Changing attitudes about safety will lead to increased production and less time lost to dealing with the aftermath of injuries and accidents.

Having CTSP(s) on staff will be perceived favorably by insurers and regulatory entities like OSHA as a very proactive safety measure.

CTSP gives municipalities, institutions, and the public a means of discerning between you and your competition when gathering estimates for projects. TCIA’s "Find a CTSP" feature even provides the discerning consumer with a means of finding your company.

CTSP provides your key employees with an alternative path in their career growth, increasing their value to you as it increases their own loyalty and job satisfaction. It also shows the rest of the staff that your company is committed to providing career development opportunities for its employees.

Promote your company's safe working environment for employee recruitment and retention. Employees want to know their employers are committed to keeping them safe!

To the CTSP:

Network with and learn from a nationwide network of safety professionals through the CTSP Forum.

Take a significant step forward in your career growth by gaining a new credential and taking on added responsibility.

Have the satisfaction of knowing you were instrumental in creating (or changing) your organization’s safety culture.

"The CTSP Program has given me more insight on how to establish a thriving safety culture in the company.  With the proper teaching tools, and delivery, your message will be conveyed more effectively.  Using some of the skills I learned, I am now able to reach people and convince them to buy in to safety.  (Plus, my boss can sleep easier at night, knowing his company is at the forefront of safety in the tree care industry!)"
