What is the difference between CIEHS and OSHA?

CIEHS “Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and Safety”

CIEHS is a Chartered body for environmental health and safety professionals based in the State of Nevada, United States of America.

CIEHS independent examination board delivering vocational qualifications in environmental health and safety practice and management, its equivalent to the NEBOSH “National Examination Board in Occupational Health and Safety”

CIEHS does not deliver courses. It only develops syllabuses for its qualifications and sets methods of assessment, such as examinations and practical coursework. Courses are delivered by CIEHS Accredited Training Providers like our Institute QHSE International.

CIEHS is an International recognized qualification in Environment Health and Safety. The course is intended to provide Workers, Managers, Supervisors and Employees who require a broader knowledge of risk management and understanding of environmental health and safety practice and risk management

For some, it is the first step towards a life-long career in environmental health and safety practice and risk management.  For others, it forms part of an important set of qualifications that brings them accomplishment and advancement at any chosen field.

OSHA “Occupational Safety and Health Administration”

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is an agency of the United States Department of Labor. Congress established the agency under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which President Richard M. Nixon signed into law on December 29, 1970. OSHA’s mission is to “assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance”. The agency is also charged with enforcing a variety of whistleblower statutes and regulations. OSHA is currently headed by Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor Loren Sweatt. OSHA’s workplace safety inspections have been shown to reduce injury rates and injury costs without adverse effects to employment, sales, credit ratings, or firm survival.

 

OSHA has a number of training, compliance assistance, and health and safety recognition programs throughout its history. The OSHA Training Institute, which trains government and private sector health and safety personnel, began in 1972. In 1978, the agency began a grant making program, now called the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, to train workers and employers in reducing workplace hazards. OSHA started the Voluntary Protection Programs in 1982, which allow employers to apply as “model workplaces” to achieve special designation if they meet certain requirements.

OSHA training programs are intended for workers within the agency’s geographic jurisdiction. These locations include the 50 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, Wake Island, Outer Continental Shelf Lands defined in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, and Johnston Island.

Although trainers may provide safety and health training to workers outside the OSHA’s geographic jurisdiction, it must be done outside of the Outreach Training Program and without OSHA’s involvement. Under such a plan, trainers may design and issue their own certificates, cards, badges, stickers, etc. as long as they do not indicate that the program is supported by OSHA or is a part of the OSHA Outreach Training Program.
