We want to you know that the International Assoc. Safety Health Environmental Professionals (IASHEP) is like a private miniature community college that offers our professional members an EDUCATION in the field of safety, health, and environmental studies and offers our professional certifications to show the world that you are well qualified and certified to hold any position in the safety, health, or environmental field. While most Safety, Health, & Environmental professional associations offers you a test to receive your professional certification, IASHEP offers you an education, then based on your life's learning experiences, you may have to take a timed, proctored examination, then you must pass our examination at 80% to obtain ours.
WE ARE DIFFERENT! And Will Always Be.
Our Humble Beginning
As Martin Luther King once said," I Have A Dream." IASHEP knows that we are all from different communities, but in reality, our members are all one community, and our founding fathers and sisters also had a dream. Their dream was to be the very best SH&E professional association in the world. While other SH&E associations offer you a test to receive your professional certification, IASHEP offers you an education based on your life's learning experiences; you
Our founding fathers and sisters came from a humble beginning working as laborers in industry and working up from what is known as the factory, utility industry and construction field before there was ever an OSHA, college, or university offering a degree in the safety, health, or environmental field. They learned our trade in the safety, health, and environmental field by doing. It is still the best way to learn.
Meet Just Some of the Staff:
IASHEP founding fathers and sisters bring to you, our members, over 500 years of solid safety, health, environmental experience working at the corporate, mid-management, and management working levels of fortune 500 companies. They bring you real knowledge and experience and not just school knowledge.
Basically said, one of our founding members John F. (Jack) Podojil worked for The Boeing Company at the Corporate level as Corporate Manager of Safety Technical Support for the entire company and he started his career at Arizona OSHA and then federal OSHA when OSHA first started in 1974 and his compliance officer number is 60. This founding IASHEP member has fifty years of experience in the safety, health and environmental field. Mr. Podojil is a published author, owns his own successful safety, health, environmental consulting company www.podojilconsulting.com and has worked for companies like Long Beach Naval Shipyard (Code 106.1 Program Audit Manager) Allied Signal Aerospace, Lockheed Skunkworks / Advanced Development Center, and Boeing. Mr. Podojil is a Vietnam Veteran and served in a war zone and he is listed in Marquis Who's Who in America.
It is to be noted that Mr. Podojil is listed in Marquis Who's Who in America, which recognizes individuals' noteworthy positions and/or achievements that have proved to be of significant value to society. An individual's desire to be listed is not sufficient reason for inclusion. Similarly, wealth or social position are not criteria.
Ray Enama is another one of our IASHEP founding members. Ray served the utility industry for over fifty years and is a published author. Ray is considered a subject matter expert in education, electrical safety, 70 E electrical safety, OSHA regulatory standards, National Electrical Codes (NEC), high and low voltage electrical, and many other subjects. Ray is also retired from the Marine Corps, serving both active duty in a war zone and reserve capacity.
Peggy Sue Podojil is a founding member of IASHEP and President of IASHEP. Peggy has over 34 years of financial and banking experience, becoming Vice President of Chase Bank. After retiring from Chase Bank, Peggy worked at Alliance Bank and Vantage West Credit Union.
Karen Schomburg is a founding member of IASHEP, and Karen has a master's degree in education with over 40 years of experience as an educator and environmental, health, and safety manager. Karen has been a Senior Environmental, Health & Safety Manager at The Boeing Company, worked for Arizona OSHA as a Safety Supervisor, and she owns her own company Within U LLC. Karen is responsible for keeping IASHEP accredited with IACET and is the Chairperson for IASHEP. To learn more about our accreditation, visit the IACET website at www.iacet.org.
For information on the resumes and qualifications of our other IASHEP founding team members and IASHEP chairpersons, please contact IASHEP at peggysuepodojil@gmail.com. We are happy to match our skills with your needs.
Partnering With OSHA & State OSHA
IASHEP is willing and proud to partner with OSHA and State OSHA agencies because OSHA saves lives, and IASHEP supports OSHA and State OSHA efforts. OSHA and State OSHA's only mission is to send workers home to their families at the end of the workday.
This is also IASHEP's goal: to educate our professional safety, health, and environmental professionals in outstanding and updated certified and accredited safety, health, and environmental educational programs so they can return to their worksites and develop programs to safely send workers home to their families at the end of the day. That is why we are an "OHANA" type of professional association.
Your Educational Journey ---- It Is Not About the Money, It Is All About You, Our Member of IASHEP.
IASHEP is the first professional association in the United States to offer our members these two prestigious professional certifications:
The IASHEP's top professional credential is Certified Environmental Health Safety Professional (CEHSP). Typically, this professional credential would cost $5495.00 if a candidate were to take all the courses IASHEP required them to obtain before achieving our highest professional credential. However, IASHEP allows our members to keep their hard-earned money in their pockets to help feed their families, and IASHEP will enable them to transfer into IASHEP any life learning skills, college or university studies, and even OTIEC courses that meet the topics that we would be teaching in that course. IASHEP will not let you challenge that test, and you must pass the timed, proctored, open book, 250-question examination and pass this test with an 80%, which is a (B) average. Currently, IASHEP offers our members this professional certification for $2500.00.
Certified Safety Health Environmental Technician (CSHET). This professional credential goes beyond what any community college or an OSHA Training Institute Education Center (OTIEC) can present to their students. The IASHEP course of instruction in the CSHET course prepares our students to:
Develop and demonstrate a higher awareness of safety, health, and environmental knowledge, including the responsible exercise of individual judgment, civic responsibility, and honesty in dealing with safety, health, and environmental issues:
IASHEP will not let you challenge this test, and you must pass the timed, proctored, open-book, 250-question examination with an 80%, which is a (B) average.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
To earn any of our professional certifications, a member must have minimum technical knowledge in the principles of the occupational safety, health, and environmental field as well as a solid foundation in business and financial principles. Plus, the following:
A bachelor’s degree in occupational safety and health, safety studies, natural science, business or public administration, education, or related field AND four years of professional experience in occupational safety, health, and environmental programs.
Note: A master’s degree in occupational safety and health, safety studies, natural science, business or public administration, education, or allied field may be substituted for two years of the above professional work experience requirement.
OR - Equivalent education/experience. 5-7 years of General Industry, Construction Industry, Maritime, Oil & Gas, Refinery, Agricultural, Educational, Military Specialty or related field.
OR - Must possess a High School diploma or GED equivalency and a minimum of ten years experience in the General Industry, Construction Industry, Maritime, Oil & Gas, Refinery, Agricultural, Educational, Military Specialty, or related field.
IASHEP offers our members professional certifications in these two new advancing specialty fields (Certified Safety Health Compliance Officer (CSHCO™) and the Certified Construction Safety Health Compliance Officer(CCSHCO™) for $1295.00 each.
For the IASHEP $100.00 a year membership fee, IASHEP offers our members accredited continuing education and professional certification opportunities by providing our professional courses online, in the classroom, self-study or by virtual learning to become knowledgeable in a wide variety of subject in the safety, health, or environmental field.
Each year since IASHEP first opened our doors in 2014, IASHEP has allowed our members to take selected professional and credentialed courses for free. IASHEP is a 501(c)3 non-profit. IASHEP does this because EDUCATION and KNOWLEDGE are valuable. It is never and will never be about the money with IASHEP. It will always be about the journey of educating our members to help reduce hazards on the job or shopping in stores or where their children or grandchildren go to school and even at home.
Our members can receive their professional certifications by taking our certificated continuing education courses and passing a timed and proctored open book examination. The candidate must pass with a minimum grade of 80%. IASHEP allows life-learning skills to be applied to obtain our certifications.
Why spend your hard-earned money by taking our courses repeatedly when you have taken them at an approved OSHA Training Institute Education Center (OTIEC)? Unlike the many OSHA Training Institute Education Centers (OTIEC) that place a time limit on advancing your career (usually five years), IASHEP looks at it differently. IASHEP knows their courses have not changed since the founders of IASHEP built the curriculum for them.
IASHEP constantly reviews these programs since most are based on OSHA standards and not, on the most advanced standards like ANSI, NEC, NFPA or other national and international consensus standards. Rather than waste our money on trying to prove how valuable our certificated continuing educational programs are when we have set the bar by establishing three and a half OSHA Training Institute Educational Centers and their curriculum, where SH&E professionals still attend today, taking classes that use our older curriculum that we first built. We build ours better.
IASHEP allows our courses to be challenged. Since many colleges and universities allow their potential students to challenge their courses, IASHEP felt this is a great way to educate people, so why not offer our members a chance to do the same instead of paying the full price of the course? Knowledge is knowledge. For more information on IASHEP course challenges, please visit the certification portion of our website to learn more about these opportunities.
IASHEP is a not-for-profit professional association that believes in giving part of our money to our two charities, Tunnel to Towers and St. Jude Research Hospital for Children.
We are accredited by IACET, an independent third-party accreditor who has validated our industry-leading safety, health, and environmental specialty programs. IACET has also accredited our association to offer continuing educational credit (CEUs). IASHEP has met the gold standard in providing valuable education tools to our members. IASHEP completed the arduous task of achieving the IACET accreditation.
IACET ensured that IASHEP has a systematic approach to identifying and analyzing learning needs, the ANSI/IACET Standard helps CE/T providers:
The ANSI/IACET Standard also emphasizes the importance of continually reviewing and improving education and training to ensure the development of quality programs that meet consumer needs.
IASHEP is a non-governmental organization/non-profit safety, health, and environmental professional association. Consistent with national, international, and worldwide conformity assessment standards, IASHEP is a self-accrediting private company that follows the following standards when issuing our professional certifications:
IASHEP is not subject to any regulations legislated by the federal government. Regardless of political administration, IASHEP remains consistent in its standards of accountability and transparency.
The ANSI/ANAB Learning Experience
IASHEP has chosen not to seek further certifications from ANSI / ANAB in the United States since it is a private company that self-accredits. This means that it accredited itself by reading the same documents that it purchased, read, and implemented.
The difference is that ANSI / ANAB or ISO / IEE 17024:2012 audits would cost IASHEP $15,000.00 to $25,000.00 for each accreditation audit organization, plus, once again, they accredited themselves. The ANSI / ANAB or ISO / IEE 17024:2012 audits would cost IASHEP $15,000.00 to $25,000.00 for each accreditation audit organization, plus a per diem of $2500.00 per auditor daily to visit our location and review our records.
Also, do not get fooled by seeing other organizations posting on their website that they are ANSI/ANAB certified when they have only one or two professional credentials accredited under ANSI/ANAB. They do not have more because ANSI/ANAB charges these organizations more money for each credential they offer to each person and must pay that annually. Check here to see if you have certifications from other associations who say ANSI /ANAB accredits your professional credentials. https://anabpd.ansi.org/Accreditation/credentialing/personnel-certification/ALLdirectoryListing?menuID=2&prgID=201&statusID=4
We did not see that spending that much money and giving it to a private company that did not get accredited by anyone else would add value to our members when colleges such as Waldorf University and other major universities would take our courses as transfer credits toward their degree programs. For example:
Accredited & Audited
IACET has accredited IASHEP and is continually audited by the world's most recognized continuing education and certification body.
We believe in educating professionals to protect the world’s most valuable resource, the worker and their families. This is why IASHEP says we are "OHANA". In Hawaiian “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind.” IASHEP would instead help families that have children battling cancer, our United States Military (Army Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force, Coast Guard) Active Duty/Retired/Reserve or Veteran, including the National Guard, Police Officers, Firefighters, First Responders including EMT's, Law Enforcement Officers (LEO’s), Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and Volunteers who lost their lives. Our charities provide families with a home to live in and medical care at no cost. Education is not having a little piece of paper from someone else saying your programs are great; when you finish your courses, and you show your employer that you have the knowledge, that is enough.
Trust me when I say this, and you can quote me (John F. (Jack) Podojil). I have been in this field for going on now 50 years, and this was just when certifications were just starting. Degrees do not make you wise, certification’s and passing a test certainly does not make you wise but having the knowledge in the topic and being able to demonstrate that expertise certainly makes you bright. Also, if you do not have a penny in your pocket and need help, I will be there for you and IASHEP will be there as well if you are one of our members.
Developing Educational Programs To Educate Others:
Does IASHEP know how to build educational and certified programs? You bet we do!
One of our founding fathers, John F. (Jack Podojil), built an accredited two-year safety, health, and environmental college degree program for South Seattle Community College, Seattle, Washington. This degree program concentrated on teaching the students real subjects in occupational safety, health, and environmental subjects.
IASHEP would welcome partnering with community colleges and universities to offer extended studies. If you are a high school, trade school, community college, university, or military school and would like to form an alliance with us, please contact John F. (Jack) Podojil, CHCM, CHMM, CEHSP, CSHET, ASA, CUSA, CSHCO, CSHCO, at (520) 568-5565.
Ray Enema and John F. (Jack) Podojil built all the course curriculum, lesson plans, course syllabuses, final exams, course catalog information and had it approved by the following OSHA Training Institute Education Centers (OTIEC) universities at Cal-State Dominguez Hills, CA, College of Southern Nevada, Arizona State University, and many courses at the University of California San Diego UCSD OTIEC.
I think that we know how to build adult educational programs and certify people’s knowledge in the subject matter. IASHEP doesn't issue tests to pass like the Board of Certified Safety Professionals or others accredited by others who have been in business making money since 1969. We would love to partner with them and offer our courses through extended studies. IASHEP delivers an education, then a timed, proctored examination, which you must pass the examination with an 80% or better to receive your professional credential. Naturally, we allow for life-learning skills andcourse challenging opportunities just like the major colleges and universities do.
Next Question, Is IASHEP Accredited ?
Great Question? Yes, We Are. We are Accredited by The International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).
Do we need to be accredited by others ? No, not as far as we are concerned. If you had the chance to spend your money on helping a child beat cancer or help a family live in a home since they lost the husband or wife or significant other in a war or at work defending your way of life or spend your money by paying for one or two more independent third-party agencies to look at your professional programs and saying "Gee you meet the intent of our self-made standard guidelines," where would you spend your money? IASHEP decided to help others by giving our money to charity to save the lives of little children with cancer (St Jude's Cancer Research Hospital) and assisting others to have a place to live especially after our nation was devastated after 9/11 and (Tunnels to Towers).
Will IASHEP ever bow down to other colleges, universities, or others trying to force our association to be accredited by ANSI / ANAB or other third-party accreditors and spend our member's money to do so, so that IASHEP can be listed on their website? No, we cannot and will not do this. Children dealing with cancer and families dealing with the loss of a loved one are more important to our members than ever being listed on some college or university website. We know that we already have the best educational programs in the safety, health and environmental field and will challenge them to match theirs against ours.
IASHEP is committed to ensuring that every child with cancer and other catastrophic diseases will have access to quality care and treatment no matter where in the world they live. And that every family that lost a loved one by helping America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. We are also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and helping America to Never Forget September 11, 2001.
Do not get fooled by someone saying that IASHEP is not accredited to award professional credentials because it is not ANSI / ANAB or ISO-17024 accredited. Once again, this only means that another certifying body looked over the other organization's documents and said they were doing training and issuing certifications according to their documents. We already did that by being accredited by ANSI / IACET.
These other certifying bodies like (ANSI / ANAB, ICAC, EHAC, NELAP, EAF, and the list goes on) who do not authorize anyone or grant them the right to award professional credentials, they only state that they inspected the associations offering the professional credential paperwork and in some cases a testing procedures and that they met their set of standards.
IACET made it harder for us to reach their accreditation standards because we also offer an education and not just a test like many of the other well-known SH&E professional associations, which do not offer an education but only offer a short 200 -250 proctored examination that you must pass with a 67% to obtain their professional certification. IASHEP testing is 80%.
Difference Between Credentials & Certifications Credential
A third party issues a credential with authoritative power (IASHEP) and is proof of an individual's qualification or competence in each subject. Possessing a credential not only helps one to prove competency and capability in each field but also demonstrates to one's community and employers that the individual is competent, adequately trained, and equipped to carry out their duties. To sit for a credential exam, an individual must possess specific requirements — a set level of education, experience, or a combination of both. Credentials serve as verification that a professional has achieved a baseline level of competency in his or her subject matter. With credentialed staff members, employers are assured of having a workforce of employees that are capable of handling whatever challenges their job responsibilities present.
Through IASHEP's credentialing program, IASHEP validates its members certifications based upon predetermined standards, an individual's knowledge, and qualifications for practice in safety, health, and environmental protection. An IASHEP credential serves to verify that an individual has achieved a baseline level of professional competence in safety, health, and environmental fields.
Our credentials are nationally recognized and validate an individual's specialized knowledge and experience in occupational safety, health, and environmental protection. Studying for and maintaining an IASHEP credential keeps one up to date on the latest developments in the environmental health field and demonstrates one's commitment to life-long learning. Credentials earned from us must be renewed every three years. The credential holder must also submit continuing education points every three years to renew their certifications. Failure to do so ends with the revocation of the certification.
o call oneself a licensed professional. Some states have a single license, and some have a tiered system, and the names of licenses, as well as requirements, vary from state to state. IASHEP does not issue a license.
Certification
Certification is a formal process that recognizes and validates an individual's qualifications in a certain subject. Certification is earned by an individual to assure he or she is qualified to perform a job or task through the acknowledgment of educational achievement. Certificates verify that a professional has achieved a baseline level of competence in a complicated subject area and assure employers that an individual is capable of handling the challenges his or her job responsibilities present. Certifications are earned from a professional society and must be renewed periodically, generally through completed continuing education units.
IASHEP is at the same level and accreditation level as the Department of Labor, Occupational Safety & Health Administrations, the United States Department of Labor, Directorate of Training and Education (DTE) (OSHA Training Institute) in Arlington Heights, Illinois (Pg. 56) IASHEP is accredited by IACET as well and once again you can find our accreditation on Page 26 of the IACET Accredited Provider List. THE OTIEC are not. IASHEP could have become an Authorized OSHA Training Institute Educational Center (OTIEC), but IASHEP decided that we did not want to be controlled by the federal government (OSHA) in the way we instruct our professionals or offer our professional credentials.
IACET, the International Association for Continuing Education and Training, is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes the revised ANSI/IACET 1-2018 Standard for Continuing Education and Training. Headquartered near Washington, D.C., United States, the IACET standard is the core of thousands of educational programs worldwide and the caretaker of the internationally used Continuing Education Units (CEUs), serving to assure the validity of educational courses.
Our new accreditation audit will be in 2025. IASHEP will be audited to the new more rigid IACET 2023 accreditation standards and certification for continuing education and certification. The ANSI /ANAB will remain a 2012 standard which follows ISO -17024: 2012 https://anab.ansi.org/standard/isoiec170
To Ensure Excellence in Education Studies and Certifications
IASHEP: We are an IACET Authorized Provider of Continuing Educational Credit. IASHEP also believes we are in good company with others who also chose to share IACET Accreditation.

FOUNDING PRINCIPLES
“The world’s future rests with technical education instructors educating the future craftspeople and professionals of tomorrow.” Jack Podojil
Over forty years after OSHA was founded we have employees who do not understand the basics of safety. IASHEP was founded to provide the workforce with the knowledge to WORK SAFE. Every day the news has a story about a worker injured or killed on the job. We see workplace safety as our responsibility.
By offering courses to management, supervisors, and employees, we strive to improve the safety of the work environment. From onsite instruction, safety, health and environmental audits, to creating courses that are current and relevant; IASHEP is committed to sharing knowledge. Knowledge is power and our students will be empowered.
The IASHEP experience does not end at the conclusion of a course. Our instructors are available to support our students by email or phone and can provide resources to them. Our goal is that IASHEP’s students have the ability to research and utilize the classroom instruction and translate resources to the workplace.
MISSION STATEMENT
IASHEP MARKETS KNOWLEDGE - The International Assoc. of Safety Health Environmental Professionals (IASHEP) is dedicated to developing curriculum and instructing our students by teaching them the most up to date and technically advanced standards and information in the safety, health, and environmental field. It is our goal to be respected nationally for the quality of safety, health, and environmental professionals that we educate.
Our signature programs and our offering of recognized professional credentials will have a national and international reputation for providing educational courses that will enable our students to develop effective safety, health and environmental risk management programs providing guidance to management and workers.
Our ultimate goal is to help reduce the tragic loss of life and reduce accidents in the workplace.
Construction is a high hazard industry that comprises a wide range of activities involving construction, alteration, and/or repair. Construction workers engage in many activities that may expose them to serious hazards, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by heavy construction equipment, electrocutions, silica dust, and asbestos.
The information, tools, and resources provided in these Construction Industry web pages are designed to assist those in the industry - whether worker or employer - to identify, reduce, and eliminate construction-related hazards
Manufacturing is the process of transforming materials or components into finished products that can be sold in the marketplace. Every physical product that you buy in a store or online is manufactured somewhere. The manufacturing industry is one of the largest sectors of the U.S. economy, employing more than 12 million workers.
Today, technology is causing the country’s economy to move towards offering services as opposed to producing goods. However, it is becoming clear to economists that a healthy manufacturing industry is one of the hallmark indicators of a healthy, thriving economy. And manufacturing intermingles with nearly every area of the economy.
The U.S. mining industry consists of the search for, extraction, beneficiation, and processing of naturally occurring solid minerals from the earth.
These mined minerals include coal, metals such as iron, copper, or zinc, and industrial minerals such as potash, limestone, and other crushed rocks. Oil and natural gas extraction (NAICS code 211) is not included in this industry.
Metals and other minerals are an essential source of raw materials for the U.S. building and chemical industries and are also a critical part of the production of everyday electronics and consumer products.
For example, over 65 different minerals are required to produce a modern computer. Furthermore, coal accounts for nearly 50% of electric power generated in the United States.
According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), "the environmental industry consists of activities which produce goods and services to measure, prevent, limit and minimize or correct environmental damage to water, air and soil, as well as problems related to waste, noise, and eco-systems training.
Considered being the biggest sector in the world in terms of dollar value, the oil and gas sector is a global powerhouse using hundreds of thousands of workers worldwide and generating hundreds of billions of dollars globally each year. In regions which house the major NOCs, these oil and gas companies are so vital they often contribute a significant amount towards national GDP.
The healthcare industry (also called the medical industry or health economy) is an aggregation and integration of sectors within the economic system that provides goods and services to treat patients with curative, preventive, rehabilitative, and palliative care.
Any organization can host a learning event. But it takes true commitment to become an accredited provider of IACET Continuing Education Units (CEU).
The International Association of Safety Health Environmental Professionals (IASHEP has provided that "True Commitment"
The IACET Accredited Provider (AP) status tells the world:
Pros for obtaining a professional safety, health and / or environmental certification may include an increased salary and higher self-esteem for the individual; demonstrated knowledge.
Benefits of Certification
Outside of the hiring process, safety, health and environmental certifications for employees provide companies with consistency in training and work practices, increased confidence from customers, staff adherence to ethical standards, differentiation in marketing, and a standard for projects, promotions, salary increases and career road maps. Like an individual, the more certifications a company possesses, the better it looks on paper.
