Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals, 6519B Mississauga Road,

Mississauga, ON L5N 1A6

Instructions for Completing your CMP Worksheets

• Only those activities completed within your audit cycle may be claimed. Please identify
all CMPs earned in each of the three categories even though you may have
accumulated more than the minimum number of required CMPs.

• Note the maximum allowable number of CMPs for each category. CMPs claimed over
and above the maximum allowable in each category will not be counted. Excess CMPs
may not be carried over to the next cycle.

• Do not break out CMPs by year (ie – if submitting for a five-year cycle, submit one set of
worksheets, not one for each of the five years). The total number of points for the five
year cycle is to be entered on the worksheets.

• Audited certificate holders (those on lists B, D, F, H and J) must submit supporting

documentation properly identified (eg. – A1, A2 . . .) and submitted in the same order as
CMPs are claimed on the worksheets.

• C1 is the only category where it is mandatory to claim CMPs in each year of

your maintenance cycle. Example – in a 5-year cycle, 10 CMPs (2 CMPs per year)
must be claimed. Any variance must be explained. Certificate holders claiming less than
the minimum CMPs required without an explanation will be contacted by the Board for
clarification before a Continuance of Certification letter is issued.

• Certificate holders whose primary function is ohs&e training/teaching may not claim
CMPs in category A3 as CMPs for this activity must be claimed in category C1 (you may
not claim the same activity twice).

• Please retain a copy of your CMP Worksheets until such time as you have received
notification from the BCRSP advising that you have been granted a Continuance of
Certification (confirmation will be mailed to CRSPs meeting the requirements of the
Certification Maintenance Program).

• If during the CMP cycle for which you are submitting worksheets/documentation, you
have been absent from work through parental leave, LTD, lay off, etc., for a period of
time greater than:
* 3 months in a 1-year cycle * 10 months in a 4-year cycle
* 5 months in a 2-year cycle * 12 months in a 5-year cycle
* 8 months in a 3-year cycle
and if the total CMPs submitted is less than required, please include details of this
absence along with supporting documentation for review by the CMP Committee
(category C1).

• A list of “Acceptable Documentation to Support Certification Maintenance

Points Claimed” is enclosed.

Certificate holders whose designation is revoked for non-submission of CMP

worksheets by December 31, 2010, must, as part of the reinstatement process,
submit documentation for all CMPs claimed regardless of whether or not they
were initially required to supply documentation.
