CHST Exam Prep
Built against the BCSP CHST5 Examination Blueprint (exam live August 2024). The CHST is BCSP's construction-technician credential: 3 years of construction safety experience with 35%+ technical SH&E duties, no degree required. Field-practical coverage: OSHA 1926 hazards and controls, excavation, fall protection, rigging, silica, emergency response, site safety programs, and training leadership.
Written against BCSP CHST5 Examination Blueprint (V.2022.04.12) + OSHA 29 CFR 1926. The OSHA construction standards cited here are current CFR; the blueprint above is the exam specification BCSP publishes.
Blueprint Domains (4 Areas)
The real BCSP exam runs 4 hours at Pearson VUE (200 questions per prep providers — BCSP publishes the blueprint, not the count) and uses a scaled score with no published pass mark — 70% here is a study benchmark. Our full sim runs 150 questions at the same per-question pace.
Your first try on this exam adds a flat +25. Harder credentials pay more — the full ladder runs Foundation → Technician → Professional → Flagship.
Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST)
BCSP's construction-technician credential — the standard cert for field safety techs and coordinators on construction projects. Experience-based (3 years, no degree). The exam is field-practical: OSHA 1926 hazards and controls dominate (excavation, falls, rigging, silica, electrical), with emergency response, site safety programs, and training/leadership rounding out the CHST5 blueprint. Also a BCSP Qualified Credential for the CSP.
