" 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."

"My road traveled as a CIH has allowed for lifelong learning, serving and helping others, and saving lives."
