2. What is a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH)?
A Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) is a licensed professional who
has both the required education and first-hand experience to identify,
assess and control hazards in the workplace. These individuals are
responsible for improving the overall health and safety of people at
work by helping to prevent illnesses and injuries that can result from
physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic conditions.

3. What is a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH)?
 Industrial hygienists, in general, are committed to safety in the
work environment, yet not all of these individuals are certified.
There is a minimum level of education and experience required
before a candidate may even sit for examination.
 Typically, candidates hold a Bachelor’s degree in biology,
chemistry, engineering, or physics; they may also have
completed an ABET accredited program in industrial safety.
Experience is another requirement, in that it proves proper
application of education and skills.
 With an accredited relevant degree and several years of
experience, a person may sit for the Certified Industrial
Hygienist (CIH) examination.
 The American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) is the
organization that has standardized the qualifications for the
industrial hygienist position, and, through its certification
program, the skills of qualified professionals can be more easily
recognized and valued by employers, workers and the public.

4. Why is it important to have a CIH manage
your Industrial Hygiene program?
 A Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), through education,
experience, and examination, has earned professional
credibility in the field of industrial hygiene. Unlike an
industrial hygienist without certification, a Certified Industrial
Hygienist (CIH) must participate in an ongoing Certification
Maintenance (CM) program every five years.
 Recertification allows professionals to preserve the skills
they’ve acquired as well as to obtain new knowledge as the
industry changes. In short, a Certified Industrial Hygienist
(CIH) is the best professional resource to protect worker
health and manage/administer an industrial hygiene program.
