CIH® Certification Provides for Professional Visibility and Value
The American Board of Industrial Hygiene® (ABIH®) administers the internationally recognized Certified Industrial Hygienist® (CIH®) program.
Virtually every industrial hygienist who has become a CIH® will attest to the fact that having the credential has opened doors and new opportunities they otherwise probably would have never gotten.
Throughout many professions, there are certifications for people who practice in a field of specialty. These certifications are often administered by non-profit organizations, which are, themselves, accredited by other organizations to ensure the validity of the certification. For the past 57 years in the industrial hygiene profession, that certification has been the Certified Industrial Hygienist®.
The CIH® credential is the premier standard in certification for the industrial hygiene profession. It requires the industry’s most demanding measure of education, experience and examination. As a result, the credential is held by only a select group of professionals who are at the top of their field.
Obtaining the CIH® is a major career goal for many industrial hygienists. The credential can help them take control of their professional future as opportunities abound for certified professionals trained to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, prevent and control hazardous conditions.
For those who achieve CIH® certification, the benefits are much broader than just self-satisfaction. They include:
- Instant credibility throughout the world
- A competitive edge in job placement or advancement
- Increased professional stature and peer recognition
- Public and governmental recognition
- Affirmation of a broad knowledge base
- Access to industrial hygiene contracts requiring certification
“Virtually every industrial hygienist who has become a CIH® will attest to the fact that having the credential has opened doors and new opportunities they otherwise probably would have never gotten,” said David Roskelley, CIH® and Chair of ABIH®. “We encourage those considering certification to begin the process by visiting the ABIH® website for a wealth of information, downloadable guides and videos. Staff are just a phone call or email away from helping people achieve their goal of CIH® certification and all the benefits that come with the credential.”
