IASHEP Proudly Serves The Following Industries:
Construction
Manufacturing
Manufacturing
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
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.
Mining
Manufacturing
Environmental
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.

IASHEP is in the process of registering them with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO)
Currently, IASHEP will allow our members the opportunity to grandfather these professional credentials without taking the course or test as long as our members have three years of documented direct work-related experience where safety, health or environmental responsibilities are part of your job or if you have an associated arts (AA) degree or a bachelor's degree in the safety, health or environmental field you qualify for these professional credentials. You must submit a current resume at the time you submit your registration and pay your fees. The cost for grandfathering these credentials is one hundred & ninety-five dollars ($195.00) per professional credential.

FOUNDING PRINCIPLES & MISSION STATEMENT
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
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.
