ASSP Unveils New Membership Model and Management System

Occupational safety and health professionals can now find even more value in being a member of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP). The Society’s membership model has been restructured to add key benefits while a new association management system is simplifying member engagements.

ASSP members can now join common interest group and practice specialty communities at no additional cost. This free enhancement is geared to enrich member experiences through a greater sharing of resources and best practices with colleagues on a global scale. ASSP offers four common interest groups and 18 practice specialties, such as construction, manufacturing, ergonomics and transportation.

In 2023-24, ASSP communities delivered more than 80 online workplace safety webinars, and nearly half offered free continuing education units (CEUs) to help safety professionals maintain certifications.

As ASSP expands the value of membership, a modest dues increase will be phased in over the next three years to ensure the Society’s sustainability in providing top-tier services and resources. ASSP membership dues have not kept pace with inflation and have not changed in more than five years.

The current rollout of the new membership model is aligned with the launch of ASSP’s new association management system, which streamlines how members engage with the Society when renewing memberships, registering for events and courses, and making purchases.

ASSP members have convenient access to a global network of more than 35,000 safety professionals and receive monthly issues of the Society’s award-winning flagship journal, Professional Safety. Discounted member-only pricing is available on industry-leading conferences, continuing education, voluntary national consensus standards and technical publications.
