Point is we are licensed assessors AND certified (Certified Industrial Hygienist, CIH) – don’t settle for less!
in addition, we are designated risk managers So our findings are put in a meaningful risk-context for best decision making. We respond to all your needs: regulatory, technical environmental health and risk management issues. We’ve completed tens-of-thousands of risk surveys including for major insurance carriers and fortune 500 companies in 38 states since 2009. We helped South Florida thru five different hurricanes. See our total comparison table below and know why we are the best choice. Ask your mold assessor to show you the fine print whether or not he is a CIH!
What exactly is the CIH designation? The “IndoorSciences” website says:
“The Certified industrial Hygienist (CIH) certification is the premier certification for occupational health and safety professionals around the world. It is also considered the top certification for indoor air quality consultants. This most prestigious certification is offered by the Board for Global EHS Credentialing (BCG) and is accredited through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Commission for Certifying Agencies “(NCCA).”
“One reason the CIH Certification is extremely sought after is the difficulty in obtaining it. Few candidates qualify and the exam is very challenging. However, those professionals that push through with obtaining the CIH will have many opportunities opened to them”. – Indoorscience.
The point is CIHs were doing mold before it was “cool” or popular or before unscrupulous persons came along forcing minimum state requirements which really are minimum. A CIH is not the minimum, it’s the standard. To demonstrate this above.
