Value and Visibility Gained with the CIH Certification

LANSING, Mich. - Aug. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Many professions have certifications for people who practice in a field of specialty.  These certifications are often administered by non-profit organizations who themselves are accredited by other organizations to ensure the validity of the certification. For over 50 years in the industrial hygiene profession, that certification has been the Certified Industrial Hygienist.

The Certifi¬ed Industrial Hygienist designation is the premier standard in certi¬fication for the industrial hygiene profession. The credential requires the industry’s most demanding measure of education, experience and examination. Consequently, the credential is held by only a select group of professionals worldwide.

For many industrial hygienists, obtaining the CIH is a major career goal that can help them take control of their future. Opportunities abound for certified professionals trained to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, prevent and control hazardous conditions.  The benefits of achieving CIH certification are much broader than just self satisfaction.  They include:
•   A competitive edge in job placement or advancement
•   Increased professional stature and peer recognition
•   Instant credibility throughout the world
•   Public and governmental recognition
•   A broader knowledge base
•   Access to industrial hygiene contracts requiring certifi¬cation

“Achieving the CIH is a natural evolutionary step for our top industrial hygiene professionals,” reported Tracy Parsons, CIH, Administrative Program Manager at ABIH. “ABIH is here to help with our step-by-step online information (www.ABIH.org) and our free consultations for how to achieve the CIH.
