§ 20704 Certified Industrial Hygienist Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't call yourself a 'certified industrial hygienist' or 'CIH' unless you follow the rules in this law.
  • •If you say you're a CIH but you're not, you're doing something unfair in business.
  • •This rule is to make sure people who say they're experts really are.

Example

Someone puts 'CIH' on their business card but never got the right training or certification.

This person is breaking the law because they're pretending to be something they're not. It's like saying you're a doctor when you never went to medical school.
