CLCP – Certified Loss Control Professional

The Certified Loss Control Professional (CLCP) is a field-based credential earned through the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) and the National Utility Training and Safety Education Association (NUTSEA). It equips professionals with deep expertise in hazard identification, OSHA compliance, and safety leadership across utility, energy, and industrial sectors.
The CLCP program spans multiple years and includes coursework, field inspections, safety system design, and real-world project work. It is ideal for loss control representatives, safety officers, and risk professionals who operate in high-exposure environments and shape frontline risk strategy.
Unlike traditional designations like CPCU or ARM, the CLCP is built for the field. It signals readiness to assess exposures, write actionable reports, and lead safety initiatives that prevent losses and protect lives.
