Charles Myers Earns Certified Safety Professional (CSP) Credential

Myers Brings Expertise to the Field to Support Safe Work Practices and Safety Culture

November 5, 2026 – Colorado Springs, CO – Encore Electric Safety Specialist Charles “Chuck” Myers recently became a Certified Safety Professional (CSP), which is considered one of the highest and most respected credentials in the safety profession and is awarded by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP). Through this process, Myers has strengthened his ability to serve as a resource to the field, interpreting safety standards and company policies, preventing injuries, managing risk, and promoting safe work practices.

Safety has always been part of Charles Myers’ career, which began in the military as a field artilleryman. After 20 years in service, he began preparing for a new career by returning to school. Myers earned his bachelor’s degree in environmental management and then earned his master’s in occupational safety and health.

In 2017, Myers joined Encore Electric as a first-year apprentice and during his first six month review, the team learned about his safety education and experience. Shortly after that, Myers joined the Encore Electric safety team.

“Encore gave me the opportunity to come in as a first-year apprentice. I was already retired from one career coming in, and I knew my goal was to work in safety, but I didn’t think it would happen so fast,” Myers said.

Since that transition, Myers has continued to learn and earn safety certifications, including first aid/CPR instructor, OSHA 500 instructor, and the Association Safety Professional (ASP), which is one of the BCSP-approved credentials.

To achieve this career milestone, candidates must complete a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, four years of Safety, Health, and Environmental (SH&E) experience, one BCSP-approved credential, and pass the 200-question test that takes around five and a half hours to complete. The exam covers topics like risk management, emergency preparedness, hazard control, and safety program management.

“I’m truly proud of Chuck for earning his Certified Safety Professional designation. This certification takes a tremendous amount of hard work, focused study, and preparation, and I’m happy to celebrate such a meaningful milestone with him,” said Mike Callison, Encore Electric director of safety. “It’s also a special moment for our safety team as we continue to grow our knowledge and strengthen the support we provide in the field. We deeply value what this added knowledge brings to our team and the meaningful support it allows us to provide to our men and women in the field every day.”

For Myers, safety is about more than identifying what can’t be done. It means interpreting OSHA standards and company policies to help crews find practical ways to work safely.

“The field is the most important part of this company. So, it’s my job to ask how do we help the field do their job safely?” Myers said.

Through years of pursuing safety certifications and ultimately earning his CSP credential, Myers has become a leader at Encore Electric who encourages teammates to make safety a daily priority.

Question: What would people be surprised to learn about you?
Answer: First and foremost, I love the Lord. 

Where is your favorite place to eat?
My favorite spot or my kids? We go to their favorite spot more often. Every Sunday after church we go to my boys’ favorite spot, Slims. It’s like their ritual, I’m not sure what would happen if we didn’t go… I think they would explode. 

But for me, I just love a good barbecue place or a chicken sandwich. 

If you could master one skill, what would it be?
To be a good communicator. 

Encore Electric is very proud of Charles Myers for this achievement!
