The Association of Professional Industrial Hygienists, Inc. (APIH) was
established in 1994 to offer credentialing to industrial hygienists who meet the
education and experience requirements found in Tennessee Code Annotated,
Title 62, Chapter 40. APIH adopted the Tennessee Code as its basis for
credentialing because it was the first legal definition in the United States of an
industrial hygienist in terms of education and experience. The APIH Registration Committee
investigates and verifies, through electronic means or correspondence, both
educational and experience accomplishments claimed by each applicant for registration. The
Committee determines the appropriate level of registration, Registered
Industrial Hygienist or Registered Professional Industrial Hygienist, and then
authorizes the registration certificate to be issued.
In June 1995, the APIH Board of Directors authorized the credentialing
of Industrial Hygiene Technologists, because no other national organization
offered such credentialing specifically in industrial hygiene.
