University of Utah has developed and obtained ABIH CM points for an
online Professional Ethics and the Practice of Industrial hygiene
course. The course is designed to provide an introduction to the
ethics underlying professional industrial hygiene practice and meet
the ABIH two-hour requirement for ethics.

Registrations for the
International Occupational Hygiene Training
Module W-501
(Measurement of Hazardous Substances)
Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia: July 26-30 (10 seats still available)
Shanghai, China, : August 2- 6, 2010 (5
seats still available)
Honolulu, Hawaii,
November 1-5, 2010 (details coming soon)
Honolulu
course will be presented jointly by Golder and the Hawaii AIHA
section. Seats for the Honolulu course are limited because the 501
course involves extensive face to face interaction with attendees
and because 50% of the seats will be reserved for the Hawaii AIHA
section members. Past Industrial Hygiene educational events
organized by the Hawaii section have received rave reviews for the
educational content and the Aloha spirit and hospitality of the
section members. Many past attendees combined great learning and
vacationing in Paradise
For more
information, please contact Jas Singh @golder.com
The IOHA/BOHS International certification scheme delivers a means of
growing occupational hygiene skills using a modular system of
training and qualifications. The concept is based on standardized,
modular training and student assessment to a consistent format.
Golder
Associates, as an approved training provider is able to offer the
award certificate (after successful completion of the module) from
the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) and bearing the IOHA
logo 'Supported by IOHA'.. From our experience, many industrial
hygienists spend much of their time assessing worker exposures to
chemical hazards. We feel that completion of this module will give
you needed skills to carry out those assessments in a competent and
professional manner
Participants will receive 40-hours of
IH education credits which can be applied towards qualifying for the
ABIH CIH examination. The course is also approved by the ABIH for
CIH certification maintenance points
Registration and venue details for the Shanghai and the Kuala Lumpur
program are attached. Honolulu venue details will be
available soon
Thanks and Regards,
