COPS Recognition Award

What Is the Council on the Practices and Standards Recognition Award

ASSP practice specialties and common interest groups represent specific occupational safety and health (OSH) industries or disciplines. These groups are an important part of our vibrant community — helping members to grow personally and professionally through education, networking, mentoring and advocacy. As such, we recognize those groups that fulfill this mission on behalf of the Society — further incentivizing them to provide quality service to members.
