Saint Louis University home of product safety management education

Program Conceived by Society of Product Safety Professionals and administered by Saint Louis University Emerson Leadership Center

ST. LOUIS, MO, USA, October 22, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Emerson Leadership Institute (ELI) at Saint Louis University’s Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business has opened the registration period for candidates seeking admittance to the 2020 Consumer Product Safety Professional Certification program. The program has been developed by ELI in association with two consumer product safety professional development organizations.

The organizations include the Society of Product Safety Professionals (SPSP), established to provide professional development programs and education for consumer product safety professionals, and the organization conferring the formal designation for those who successfully complete the program. The other organization is SPSP affiliate, Consumer Product Safety Certification Services (CPSCS), an independent certification oversight organization that operates to assure the integrity of the certification program and related preparatory activities.

The program will begin with a 2-day opening workshop at the Chaifetz School March 11 & 12, 2020 and will conclude after a series of webinars on product safety topics followed by an examination period June 24 & 25, 2020 on campus. Successful completion of the program will result in the award of the Certified Product Safety Professionalâ„¢ (CPSP) designation. Individuals must apply for admission to the program, and will be notified regarding acceptance into the program by the Program Admission Committee.
The program is jointly administered by ELI in cooperation with ADK Information Services, LLC, the product safety adviser to the Chaifetz School of Business. A program overview is available at the SPSP web site, and all candidates are asked to read the overview in order to understand the criteria for eligibility and program requirements.
Enrollment will be limited to 15 class members for the 2020 program.

Five knowledge areas comprise the university program. They are: 1) the development of a culture that emphasizes product safety as an important organizational value within a company; 2) assessment of product risks to consumers, including product designs that meet acceptable levels of risk as well as applicable safety standards, 3) regulatory compliance with a primary focus on the United States approach to regulations at the local, state, and federal levels; 4) product incident tracking and investigations that address legal and proactive safety considerations; and 5) product recall and withdrawal. Individuals must pass a multiple-choice examination, an essay portion of the exam, as well as an oral presentation and evaluation of a product safety-related case study capstone project developed by each candidate.
