Certifications

The International Association for Child Safety has developed the childproofing industry’s first and only professional certification program. It is overseen by the Board of Certification for Professional Childproofers, an independent body formed to develop, implement and monitor this program.

The Certified Professional Childproofer ™ designation recognizes those professionals who have met specific qualifications and criteria, and have proven through testing and client interaction that they possess the broad knowledge and experience required for certification. Tom Treanor (owner) has earned the Advanced Certified Professional Childproofer ™ designation.
