    ABOUT BEAC
    For more than a decade the Board of Environmental, Health and Safety Auditor Certifications (BEAC) has been working to ensure that organizations and government are staffed with professional auditors who ensure we live in a healthy and safe world.

    The BEAC certification is accredited by the Council of Engineering & Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB).
