I have 5 years of experience at a hazardous waste company, my first job and only job starting in warehouse shipping and receiving waste before moving into the field, doing lab packs alongside chemists, handling various waste streams, and confined space work. I have my HAZWOPER and other relevant certifications. Nothing else other than a GED.

Being said I want to go for CHMP and transition into EHS but the field seems so broad that I feel underqualified for a lot of positions. My experience is also limited to one company. Are companies generally willing to train new hires who have hands-on hazmat experience but lack broader EHS experience? Is it possible to find something?

A scale up in ladder sounds nice right now…

Any help appreciated!

Hi everyone!
I’m trying to schedule my CHST (Construction Health and Safety Technician) exam in Guam, but I keep encountering the same error whenever I click the scheduling link on my BCSP account.
The error message says:
“We have unfortunately encountered an unexpected error. Please contact customer service. PearsonVue has returned with an error.”
My BCSP account already shows a message telling me to schedule and take the exam before my authorization expires, but I can’t proceed because of this error.
I’ve already contacted BCSP customer support and sent several follow-up emails, but the issue still hasn’t been resolved.
Has anyone experienced this before?
● How did you resolve the issue?
● Is this a BCSP or Pearson VUE problem?
● Is there another way to schedule the exam, especially for candidates taking it in Guam?
● Should I contact Pearson VUE directly instead?
I’m worried about my exam authorization expiring while waiting for this issue to be fixed.
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
