National Association of Safety Professionals

What National Association of Safety Professionals does

National Association of Safety Professionals (NASP), operating as NASP/IASP, Inc., is a private, for-profit professional certification and training organization headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina, founded in 2001. The company delivers workplace environmental, health, and safety (EHS) education through a proprietary Learning Management System (LMS), live instructor-led classroom courses delivered in cities across the United States, on-site enterprise training, and custom SCORM-compliant course development. Its portfolio spans approximately 75+ online courses across categories including HAZWOPER series, NFPA 70E electrical safety, OSHA 10/30-hour compliance (General Industry and Construction in English and Spanish), petroleum safety (PSMA refinery, pipeline, drilling/servicing), specialist courses, and certificate programs such as the Certified Safety Manager (CSM), Safety Professional Certificate (SPC, 242 hours), Safety Director Certificate (SDC, 121 hours), Certified Environmental Manager (CEM), and Psychological Health & Safety Manager (PHSM).

NASP's most strategically significant assets are its two ANAB-accredited professional certifications under ISO/IEC 17024:2012 — the Certified Safety Director (CSD) and the Master Safety Professional (MSP) — supplemented by IACET accreditation for CEU issuance and ANSI/ASSP Z490.1-2024 compliant courses. Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of one-time course purchases ($195–$5,995), per-student group training, certification application and exam fees ($470–$525 initial, $195–$250 triennial recertification), Basic and Premium memberships, and professional services including audits and inspections, electrical engineering and risk assessments, safety program development, on-site training, LMS course development, staffing, and video production. Distribution combines self-serve online purchase through the LMS, direct enterprise sales, an Authorized Training Partner (ATP) network, and a distributed channel of CSM-certified trainers authorized to issue NASP/IASP certificates, which effectively scales NASP's training delivery footprint.

The company serves a broad customer base spanning construction, manufacturing, energy, electric utilities, transit, food processing, laboratories, federal and local government, and engineering consultancy. No parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds are disclosed in the source data, indicating an organically grown, privately held operation with 11-50 employees. Management team composition is not disclosed in available sources, and no revenue figure is publicly available.
