Frequently Asked Questions Membership I just registered on-line for membership; when do I get my password for the Member’s Only area? Once your membership has been processed by the Membership Coordinator,
he or she will send you your password via e-mail. This can take approximately
5 business days.
What is the difference between regular and associate membership? Regular membership is intended for those who work in the OHS&E industry and who actively implement health and safety procedures into their workplace. A regular membership can be for a consultant (internal or external); OHS&E Coordinator, Director, Specialist, Advisor, Manager, Assistant; Registered Nurse; Risk Specialist; Construction Safety Officer, etc. Regular members can participate in elections and vote at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Associate membership is for those individuals who work with or sell safety equipment. Associate members do not have voting rights at the AGM, but enjoy the same benefits of a regular member. Is my company a member of the CSSE? Membership with the CSSE is individual; there are no corporate
memberships. However, the CSSE offers a Group Billing Option for organizations
that employ 5 or more CSSE members. If you’re interested in Group Billing,
please contact the CSSE Office at 416-646-1600.
What is the difference between HST and GST? HST is the Harmonized Sales Tax that is applicable to those individuals who live in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. GST is the Goods and Services Tax that is applicable to those individuals who live in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and PEI. I’m currently enrolled in part-time studies. Can I apply for student membership? Yes. However, if you are currently employed as a Health and
Safety professional, you must apply for regular membership. Student Membership
is intended for those who are not currently employed in the OH&S industry
and who are currently enrolled in school.
To find out if your organization is GST exempt, please contact
your accountant or financial services manager.
Memberships with the CSSE are not transferable. If a CSSE member
changes jobs, the membership remains with the member.
I’m not an engineer. Can I still join the CSSE? To become a member of the CSSE, you do not have to be an engineer;
however, you must work in occupational health and safety.
Even though applicants are given the ability to pay their membership
online, the “proof of student status” must be received and reviewed in the
office before the membership application is completed. Once the entire application
has been reviewed and approved, you will receive a confirmation email which
will include your login details.
I am a full time student in (country outside Canada), which member type should I apply for? All full time students may apply for student membership, no
matter in which country they are a full time student, as long as the applicable
proof of “student status” is provided.
I just turned 65 years old, do I qualify for “retired” membership with CSSE? The Retired member type is for those no longer employed in
the field of Health and Safety and is not associated with the legal retirement
age. If you are still employed in the field you are ineligible to apply for
the retired membership category.
