SAINT PAUL, MN / ACCESS Newswire / December 11, 2025 / Antea Group USA, as facilitator of the Data Center Safety Council (DCSC), an industry group driving a unified approach to personnel safety in data center operations is excited to share the official launch of the Data Center Safety Awareness Certificate. It was developed by the DCSC in collaboration with Certus, a leading workforce-training and certification provider.
This launch represents an important advancement in establishing consistent, global, industry-wide expectations for health and safety knowledge among data center professionals and suppliers accessing data center sites.
"As data centers scale at unprecedented speed, we see a growing need for a shared, foundational understanding of safety for everyone who steps onto a site," said Julie Kreger-King, Antea Group Consultant and DCSC Project Leader "The Data Center Safety Awareness Certificate gives operators, contractors, and vendors a common language and expectation for safe work, no matter where in the world a facility is located."
Certificate Overview
The Data Center Safety Awareness Certificate is designed to ensure that everyone entering an operational data center, whether they are operators, contractors, vendors, or suppliers, has a shared foundation of safety awareness specific to the unique risks of data center environments.
Unlike generic safety training, this online course is built specifically around risks encountered in data center settings, including:
Electrical and chemical hazards
Heat and fire exposure
Noise hazards
Emergency procedures
And more
Developed by the DCSC with EHS leaders from global data center organizations, this certificate is intended to bridge the gap between broad regulatory requirements and the operational realities of today's complex, high-demand data centers.
Key Features and Benefits
Participants in the Data Center Safety Awareness Certificate will have access to:
16 online, self-paced modules covering essential topics such as data center infrastructure, safety culture, pre-job planning, emergency procedures, site access, slips, trips and falls, material handling, electrical hazards, control of hazardous energy, confined spaces, fire prevention, heat hazards, noise hazards, chemical management, water systems, working at heights, and housekeeping expectations.
A final exam of 30 questions, with up to three exam attempts; the certificate is valid for two years.
Accessibility and flexibility: delivered entirely online, globally applicable, mobile-friendly, and self-paced; learners have up to 180 days to complete the course after enrollment.
