Thomas Gilmer, onsite safety manager for Robinson Construction, has completed all requirements for the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST) certification. This highly respected certification is awarded by BCSP to individuals who meet eligibility and experience criteria in the safety, health, and environmental (SH&E) discipline and have passed a rigorous examination.

Safety issues have become more complex and today’s safety professional must continually be better qualified. “Safety, health, and environmental practice relies on the knowledge and skills of its practitioners,” explains BCSP’s CEO, Christy Uden, CAE, IOM. “We are proud of those who join us in advancing safety through quality certification.”

BCSP credential holders are among the most highly trained, educated, and experienced individuals in the safety field. Having achieved a BCSP certification shows that the individual has mastered the core competency required for professional safety practice. Certificants recertify every five years to maintain certification, ensuring they remain knowledgeable in their practice and continuously improve the profession.

It is no surprise that technology has provided so much growth in how we do day to day activities. That is true in the construction industry as well. Virtual Reality has been a great asset to the industry and to us at Robinson Construction. We use our Virtual Reality machine with our detailed BIM models to place ourselves directly inside a full-scale virtual environment. It allows us to walk the entire project before we even break ground on site. The engineering and construction teams can easily find and address design or constructability issues that could otherwise get overlooked with typical construction documents. Our clients can also walk through the model and see what their project will look like when it is complete. This provides the client with greater transparency and improves our ability to set and meet their expectations. For more on how virtual reality is changing construction click here.
