Chris Christie, Governor of the State of New Jersey, proclaims May 1 through May 7, 2016 as Occupational Safety and Health Week.  North American Occupational Safety and Health Week, or NAOSH Week, is celebrated the first full week of May to raise awareness about occupational safety, health and the environment.

The New Jersey Section of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (NJ-AIHA) is offering a comprehensive Industrial Hygiene Course. The course is designed to provide basic training in some critical areas of industrial hygiene and safety and will likely be beneficial for those entering the field as well as those who are just looking to sharpen their skills in certain technical areas. In addition, many of the people who have attended the program have found it to be very helpful in preparing for the CIH and CSP examinations. Certified Industrial Hygienists have the opportunity to obtain CM points per lecture (0.167 points per contact hour). Participants are welcome to attend any or all of the lecture sessions, depending on their individual training needs. People who need certification points must sign an attendance sheet for each session.Read More→
