Industrial Hygiene Certification Background: The term Industrial Hygienist has not been restricted by law, therefore anyone, regardless of experience, can state they are an “Industrial Hygienist”. To aid employers and the public, ABIH was established in 1960 as a voluntary and stringent professional certification program. ABIH is an independent corporation whose sole purpose is to provide a certification program to ensure a minimum level of knowledge and skills in industrial hygiene. The ABIH program has become the world’s largest, premier certification scheme for Industrial Hygienists. ABIH certification is a professional milestone and validated by providing a 3rd party, independent indicator of achievement.
