BCSP Certification Champions Program: Emerald Status

BCSP Certification Champions Program: Emerald Status

Jul. 16, 2026

We're proud to achieve Emerald Status in the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) Certification Champions Program. This achievement recognizes our excellence in the safety, health, and environmental profession.

Advancing from Ruby Status to Emerald Status in a short timeframe highlights our commitment to protect the health and well-being of our employees, as well as those affected by our work. We are now seated 36th with the number of safety certifications obtained for a single company within this program - out of the 213 companies enrolled.

"It's exciting to see our company achieve Emerald status in the BCSP Certification Champions Program because it aligns directly with our two core values of people and safety, showcasing that at Southland, these are not just words. This achievement recognizes our actions taken to back up our commitments to safety and our people," Garrett Omasta, Senior Safety Manager, says. "A focus on career development, goal setting, and overall company growth has accelerated our progress from Ruby status to Emerald status and we look forward to the day we achieve Diamond status."
