Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) credit
For a learning activity to qualify for HSW credit, as defined below, 75 percent of a learning program's content and instructional time must address the health, safety, and welfare of the building user group (not the architect, contractor, or building owner).
Health: Those aspects of professional practice that improve the physical, emotional, and social well-being of occupants, users, and any others affected by buildings and sites.
Safety: Those aspects of professional practice that protect occupants, users, and any others affected by buildings or sites from harm.
Welfare: Those aspects of professional practice that enable equitable access, elevate the human experience, encourage social interaction, and benefit the environment.
