About ISSB — International Safety Standard Board
Setting the Standard for Workplace Safety Certification
The International Safety Standard Board (ISSB) is a specialized certification and workforce-training organization dedicated to advancing occupational health and safety across industries worldwide. Our core focus is delivering OSHA-aligned safety training and certification services that equip workers, supervisors, and safety professionals with the practical knowledge and credentials they need to prevent workplace injuries, reduce organizational risk, and build a culture of safety that lasts.
From construction sites and manufacturing floors to oil and gas facilities and general industry workplaces, ISSB partners with training providers, employers, and individual learners to translate complex regulatory requirements into accessible, high-quality education — backed by a certification process built on consistency, integrity, and international best practice.
What We Do
ISSB's work centers on three pillars:
1. OSHA-Aligned Training Programs
We develop and license course curricula covering the safety topics most critical to compliance and hazard prevention — including construction safety, general industry safety, hazard communication, fall protection, personal protective equipment (PPE), electrical safety, and hazardous waste operations. Our courses are structured around the duration and content benchmarks established by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outreach training framework, giving learners a credential built on a widely recognized foundation.
2. Professional Certification Programs
Beyond entry-level safety awareness training, ISSB issues advanced professional certifications — such as our Certified Occupational Health & Safety Manager (COHSM) and Certified Construction Safety Manager (CCSM) credentials — designed for safety officers, supervisors, and managers who need to demonstrate a deeper, management-level command of health and safety systems.
3. A Global Training Partner Network
ISSB certifications are delivered through a network of authorized Training Providers and Learning Partners around the world. Every partner operates under standardized curriculum materials, assessment criteria, and certificate-issuance protocols, ensuring that an ISSB credential means the same thing regardless of where or how it was earned.
