On-site Safety Representatives Sarah Pike and Donovan Tilk have completed the requirements for national certification as a Safety Trained Supervisor Construction (STSC). The Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) awards this certification to individuals who meet the rigorous experience and education requirements, including passing a comprehensive examination. The examination covers the body of knowledge supervisors must have to carry-out their safety-related supervisory responsibilities and includes subjects such as hazard recognition and analysis, personal protective equipment, regulatory compliance and incident investigations.

The STSC certification is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. Those who earn the STSC Certification are recognized as having met demanding, peer-established competency requirements in supervision. A STSC must recertify every five years to maintain this certification.

The STSC certification program is operated by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP). Established in 1969, BCSP has nationally recognized credentials in the safety, health, and environment accredited professional and para-professional certifications. The BCSP is located in Champaign, Illinois.

Four Robinson Construction Company employees have completed the entire AGC (Associated General Contractors) STP (Supervisory Training Program). Ryan Huitt, Estimator; Ryan Bohnert, Tool and Equipment Manager; Judd Hagans, Project Manager; and Jason Hinkle, Project Manager have all earned certificates in On-site Supervision, Project Management, Construction Supervisory Technologies, Construction Estimating, Construction Supervision, and Construction Practices.

The STP is a training curriculum that was designed specifically to meet the needs of the construction industry. It is made up of 10 comprehensive courses, as well as 2 overview units, that focus on the knowledge and skills that every supervisor must have to be an effective manager of people, time, equipment, and materials. All of the courses have been developed, updated and field-tested by and for contractors. Robinson Construction Company has been actively participating in the STP since 2006.
