Training and Certifications

Training in building engineering, environmental science, and industrial hygiene emphasizes identifying and managing workplace hazards to protect employee and public health. This education can lead to careers as Safety and Health Officers or in specialized environmental and occupational health management roles.

• Industrial Hygiene

This involves managing workplace hazards—chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic—through hazard identification, exposure assessment, and control measures like engineering solutions, safe practices, and protective gear.

• Environmental Health

This focuses on the impact of the environment on human health, including air and water quality, waste management and environmental regulations

• Occupational Safety & Health

This encompasses a broader view of workplace safety, including accident prevention, emergency response and regulatory compliance

• Engineering Aspects

Training often includes the application of engineering principles to design and implement solutions for controlling workplace hazards

• Management Systems

Training may include developing and implementing health and environmental management systems, covering policy, risk assessment, and program evaluation.

• Research Methodology

To support evidence-based decision-making, training may include research methods relevant to environmental and occupational health

Training Examples:

• Safety and Health Officer (SHO)

This training, often offered by NIOSH, prepares individuals to manage workplace safety and health programs

• Confined Space Training

Confined space training covers hazards, safety protocols, and entry procedures.

• Industrial Hygiene Principles

Training in the core principles of industrial hygiene (anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control) is essential for professionals in this field

• Specialized Webinars

Organizations like ACGIH offer webinars on specific industrial hygiene topics like noise exposure, heat stress, chronic health issues
