AFPA’s Food & Beverage Health & Safety Officer (F&BHSO) designation is for those individuals wishing to achieve formal recognition for their efforts and commitment to workplace safety in our industry.
This designation is similar and follows the same basic principles and foundational requirements as the ACSA’s National Construction Safety Officer (NCSO) or the MHSA’s Manufacturing Safety Officer (MSO) designations.
Requirements
To obtain the F&BHSO designation candidates must complete – or have previously completed – all six AFPA COR courses, plus required elective courses and challenge the exam (80% pass) to obtain this designation.
Maintenance
To maintain the designation you must attend professional development, management, or any workplace safety courses over a three-year cycle, then attend a refresher course with exam (80% pass).
Community
AFPA and your industry now have recognized F&BHSOs. All of these dedicated safety professionals have met the requirements and were successful on their final exam.
