I, William C. Tepe, certify that:
1)       I have reviewed this report on Form 10-Q of American Safety Insurance Holdings, Ltd.;

2)       Based on my  knowledge,  this report does not contain any untrue  statement of a material fact or
              omit to state a  material  fact  necessary  to make  the  statements  made,  in light of the
              circumstances  under which such  statements  were made, not  misleading  with respect to the
              period covered by this report;

3)       Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial  information  included in
              this report,  fairly present in all material  respects the financial  condition,  results of
              operations  and cash flows of the  registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented in this
              report;

4)       The  registrant’s  other  certifying  officer(s)  and  I are  responsible  for  establishing
              and maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
              and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

                 (a)  Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or  caused  such  disclosure
                 controls and  procedures to be designed  under our  supervision,  to ensure that material
                 information  relating to the  registrant,  including its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is
                 made  known to us by others  within  those  entities,  particularly  during the period in
                 which this report is being prepared;

                 (b)  Evaluated  the   effectiveness   of  the   registrant's   disclosure   controls  and
                 procedures and presented in this report our conclusions  about the  effectiveness  of the
                 disclosure  controls and  procedures,  as of the end of the period covered by this report
                 based on such evaluation; and

                 Disclosed in this report any change in the  registrant's  internal control over financial
                 reporting  that  occurred  during  the  registrant's  most  recent  fiscal  quarter  (the
                 registrant's  fourth fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
                 affected,  or is  reasonably  likely to  materially  affect,  the  registrant’s  internal
                 control over financial reporting; and

5)       The  registrant’s  other certifying  officer(s) and I have disclosed,  based on our most
               recent evaluation of internal control over financial  reporting, to the registrant's auditors
               and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons  performing the
               equivalent functions):

                 (a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal
                  control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
                  the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
                  information; and

                 (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
                  significant role in the registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting.
