The Industrial Hygiene Safety Certificate allows Safety Directors, Industrial Hygiene Technicians, and Other Occupational Health Professionals to enhance their education in the practice of Industrial Hygiene. The coursework in this certificate program will assist you in developing strategies to sample occupational environments and to interpret the data relative to OSHA standards with the goal of preventing occupational illnesses in your workplace. Additionally, the program also addresses general occupational health factors and ergonomic stressors. The University of Cincinnati only accepts one certificate issued by an OTIEC from outside of the Great Lakes OSHA Education Center network. The course work for this program will satisfy the elective requirements for the Department of Labor’s Safety & Health Fundamentals Certificate Program for both Construction and General Industry.
