The issue of how important credentials are for safety professionals got a bit more clarity recently, with a review by the American Industrial Hygiene Association® (AIHA) and the American Board of Industrial Hygiene® (ABIH).

The two organizations teamed up to check existing state laws and regulations and determine how many of them reference professional titles such as Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) and Certified Safety Professional (CSP), which indicate that a person has been certified by a nationally recognized and accredited organization.
