CSP Exam Prep | 2026 Safety Certification | 300+ Verified Q&A on OSHA, Ergonomics, Fire Safety, Industrial Hygiene

This document is a comprehensive exam preparation guide for the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) certification, updated for the 2026 exam cycle. It contains over 300 expertly verified questions and answers, structured in a clear Q&A flashcard format designed for active recall, high-yield memorization, and practical application. The content thoroughly covers all major CSP domains, including: Regulatory standards and codes: 29 CFR 1910, OSHA categories, PELs, TLVs, and related compliance requirements Safety management systems and theories: PDCA cycle, Heinrich’s Triangle, Domino Theory, Human Factors, Contingency and Systems Theories Ergonomics and human factors: NIOSH Lifting Equation, Recommended Weight Limit (RWL), Lifting Index, coupling classifications, control precision Industrial hygiene: Gas laws (Boyle’s, Charles’, Ideal Gas Law), sampling methods, detection limits, particulates, STP conditions Fire protection and prevention: Fire classifications (A-K), flashpoint and boiling point definitions, sprinkler system types (wet, dry, deluge, pre-action), flammable liquid classes Noise and hearing conservation: STS, dBA thresholds, OSHA permissible noise levels, audiogram interpretation Electrical safety, ventilation systems, and environmental controls: Ohm’s Law, air velocity and volume formulas, LEV components Toxicology and exposure control: Vapor pressure, dust/fume/mist differentiation, respiratory fit testing chemicals, hazard communication Mathematical formulas and physical science applications essential to CSP exam scenarios Additionally, the document references important agencies (OSHA, NIOSH, ACGIH), injury causation models, and safety program metrics (e.g., EMR, near-miss ratios, risk management tools). It is rich in applied knowledge for real-world safety scenarios as well as theoretical understanding. Recommended for: CSP exam candidates preparing for BCSP certification Safety professionals and managers reviewing core knowledge Industrial hygienists, EH&S officers, and compliance auditors Students in occupational health, public safety, or environmental sciences Trainers and instructors developing CSP-aligned course materials or mock exams This resource is ideal for both self-study and group training environments and ensures alignment with the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) exam content blueprint.
