Before get into it we will know what is Hazard ?

Hazard is something which has the potential to cause you harm.

Classification of Hazards :

Mechanical and Non-Mechanical Hazards 

As per BS EN ISO 12100:2010 Safety of Machinery 

The Hazards of machinery is divided into two parts :

Mechanical hazards.

Non-mechanical hazards.

Mechanical Hazards :

Mechanical hazards are mainly from contact with or being caught by dangerous moving parts.

Such as :

⚠️ Cutting Hazard : contact is made with moving sharp-edged part such as a blade.

⚠️ Friction or Abrasion Hazard : when contact is made with fast moving surface which may be smooth.

 ⚠️ Ejection Hazard : when workers are hit by parts or objects flying out or off from machines.

⚠️ Entanglement Hazard : when clothing, hair or jewellery become caught in parts of a machine.

⚠️ Puncture Hazard : when sharp parts of machine or parts of material ejected from the machine and penetrate the body.

Hello dear Safety Professionals

I'm Bapi Sarkar from Mumbai India.
I'm a Former Construction Worker currently pursuing NEBOSH & to become a certified Safety Professional is my Dream.
But right now I do not have any bachelor degree which is required by the BCSP board to be eligible for CSP Certification.
 Planning to take admission for a bachelor degree in an online regionally accredited university in Mumbai.

(Stream : B.tech in FIRE and Safety Engineering 6years of program )


 Learning through social networking is very useful for me because I have been continuously learning a lot about our Safety profession  by creating several HSE related Group on whatsapp. And I think this is the main reason social media has become so common is because of its quick access. Anyone can know virtually anything he desires if enough time and effort are put into finding that info...


So with the help of Social media a Construction Worker also can able change the Life that he dreamt of  through the guidance and support from all of the seniors Safety Pros like you All here..


Currently I'm running a Group called CSP just to support All of BCSP Aspirants where we have BCSP Director , Ambassador, Mentors , Trainers and some senior 
CSP certificant also.

Like, Joey Garza (CSP) , Brandy Bossle (CSP , ASP)


So here's the basic question is that from where I got to know about CSP which is Gold standard Safety Certification .. the answer is from Social media  WhatsApp group which is created by one of my friend Mr Vinistal Lucas.

And then I have also created a HSE related group called LSTC and by sharing the link of the group on some United States based Safety Professionals Facebook group.I got to meet with a Joey Garza Mam a CSP certificant.


There are few more names but Brandy Bossle and Abby Ferri is one of them are special I met with them on Twitter.


First interaction with a CSP certificant was Joey Garza I met with her on whatsapp group and Brandy Bossle on Twitter.

And the first question I asked to both that was...⬇️

Can a worker become a Certified Safety Professional..?

Joey Mam's replyed was that , "Yes ofcourse".

Brandy Bossle replyed was that, "If you put your mind and soul Everything is Possible" 


And then One day prior to create CSP group on whatsapp I thought that To become a Certified Safety Professional is my Dream and this CSP Certification can be dream/Goal for other folks also.. and 
It can be interesting to achieve together... that's why I created that group.

So this is how Social media changing my life...even being able write this article too .
