Do I Need My GSP (Graduate Safety Practitioner) Certification?

I’m relatively new to the industry as far as work experience goes (1 year) but because I got my Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety and Health, I was able to graduate with my Graduate Safety Practitioner certification.

I haven’t had a need for it other than adding to my resume to seem more desirable, and now I’m getting emails from the Board of Certified Safety Professionals saying that it will be invalidated if I don’t pay $190 to renew it.

Do I really need to renew the cert for anything? If I wait until after 1/31/3025, it will cost $240 to renew but I really don’t know if I should care or not since I’ve already established a safety spot with a good company and am getting experience 🤷🏻‍♂️
