The ASHSP Vision includes the following
- It is in the public interest to ensure the competency of occupational health and safety professionals.
- The occupational health and safety (OHS) professions must be regulated by law to ensure the competency and ethical practices of persons working in these vital professions.
- Consistent competency and ethical guidelines must be established to ensure the health and safety of workers, and to support public confidence in the OHS professions.
- Establishing the OHS professions as fully-recognized professions, protected and regulated by law, will take a collaborative effort of all stakeholders that share the common public interest goal of ensuring the health and safety of workers.
