"The single professional certification I can commit to maintaining throughout my professional career will be my CIH."

" While the CIH certification is technical in nature the ability to achieve certification includes setting goals, developing timelines, aligning resources and comprehending complex technical information, all of which are critical concepts necessary for many senior level positions."

"Having the CIH gives others who I am dealing with the peace of mind that they are working with someone who has the experience and knowledge in the work that I do."

" I am among a select number of CIHs in Singapore. Recently, my CIH has allowed me to switch from the electronics to pharmaceutical industries because it demonstrated that I have the high level of competence that is demanded by the pharmaceutical industry."

"The prestige and cachet associated with the CIH has continued to allow me to survive difficult economic times for almost two decades."

" I committed to undertake the certification because I saw this as the premier credential in my field. I immediately saw benefit with my clients and with my peers. It was like I reached the top rung of the ladder."

"The true value is in the continuing education and professional growth I continue to pursue as part of the CIH designation. That decision to take the exam and become a CIH changed my life for the better."

"I take pride in having a CIH designation and hope that, in my current position, I can be a role model for aspiring occupational hygienists."

"It certainly didn’t hurt that I received a 30% pay raise almost overnight when I became certified almost 28 years ago, but much more importantly I found a life’s calling that I truly love."

" The CIH is not only a test and accomplishment to celebrate what you know. It is a humbling process to remind us that no matter how much we think we know, there is always more to learn."

"The ABIH relies purely on objective and unbiased facts in evaluating the qualifications of an individual for certification; and furthermore, it sets the ethical standards for the professional conduct of the industrial hygienist."

"Getting the CIH certification has been the best professional decision I have ever made."

"As a forensic engineer in private practice, many credentials are required to be a consulting or expert witness. Of all my credentials, the one that brings the most business is the CIH."

"As a non-engineer in the environmental consulting arena, I needed to distinguish myself by obtaining a recognized credential. I researched the various credentials and quickly realized that the CIH was among the top in the field and that it included air pollution as core competency."

" With respect to employment and my CIH, I have gone from seeking opportunities to opportunities finding me."

" Preparing for the CIH was a major revelation. It provided me with the necessary reason to complete my synthesis of knowledge and become a much better, broader-based industrial hygienist that I am today, some 26 years after."

" The study process helped expand my knowledge of Industrial Hygiene, which made me a better health and safety professional. Since becoming a CIH I have received a promotion within my organization that most likely would not have been attainable without the CIH designation."

" CIH's are the thin line protecting workers who in some cases suffer in silence from deadly work place hazards that are difficult to define and measure."

"The day I became a CIH, I instantly gained recognition from my professional peers and supervisors, as well as clients who were CIHs. The feeling of obtaining your CIH credential is hard to describe because it never goes away, it only grows."

" Obtaining my CIH opened the door to high-level leadership positions that I otherwise would not have had. The facts speak for themselves. The CIH designation means more respect, more opportunities, more money. It's that simple."

" I am sought out by clients because of my experience along with my CIH. My employer benefits in many ways...not least of which financially...because my CIH is amongst the top professional credentials that clients seek out to help resolve their health, safety and environmental needs."

"Being a CIH is the best job so I doubt I will retire because it is something different every day. Helping people understand and put into perspective their worries of various chemicals, dust, mold etc. is the art of industrial hygiene. It is enjoyable."

"The CIH designation has allowed me to take on more interesting and complex project work within the company, which is very rewarding."

" I have just received this certification last fall and have already seen the impact that it can make on my career. I have had multiple job opportunities come up in the last few months and my current employer has also seen the value and will be giving me a raise."

" The CIH credential truly is held by an elite group of dedicated, knowledgeable, and well-trained occupational health and safety professionals of the highest integrity."

"I went to a comedy club and Rita Rudner asked me what is a "Certified Industrial Hygienist"? I said we were certified to clean industrial teeth. She said she was the comedian but I then explained how wonderful we are. I got free drinks."

" I have learned that jobs come and go. As long as I work hard and maintain my certifications, I will always be able to find another job if it becomes necessary. I am truly marketable with a CIH."

" In large organizations with formal EHS functions, being a CIH allowed me to remain competitive. Now as I am in the latter stages of my career, the CIH still provides credibility when addressing non-traditional IH responsibilities such as safety,environmental and sustainability."

"With the CIH, my job opportunities have expanded dramatically and my career took a path toward ever more interesting and challenging work."
