Celebrating IASHEP (2014 - 2024) --- Ten Years of Building A Family Together
FAMILY FIRST - IASHEP IS FAMILY - (OHANA)
Ohana in Hawaiian means family.
You can certainly join any professional safety, health, or environmental association that you like but when you join IASHEP, you become a part of our IASHEP extended family and we believe that family comes first. As Michael J. Fox stated, " Family is not an important thing, it’s everything" and we at IASHEP believe it and we walk the talk.
The Story of a Humble Beginning, Built by Love, Friendship, and the Desire To Continue To Help Others.
IASHEP was originally formed by three of safety consultants (Ray Enama, SeaRay Beltran, and John F. (Jack) Podojil) who took time out of their life with their families and businesses to help build and teach the curriculum that you take at some of these OSHA Training Institute Education Centers (OTIEC) still today.
The OTIEC Experience: Seeing a need to help others, the original three senior course instructors gave their private and copyrighted course materials that they developed for their own companies and use and shared their materials and courses with others at no cost to these OTIEC to teach people this trade. Professionals helping professionals.
Instead of retiring and still seeing the need to educate future safety, health, and environmental professionals of the world but at a higher level of education, IASHEP was formed in 2014. also, instead of just offering professional credentials like many other professional associations do by just taking a test, IASHEP decided to offer professionals a chance to learn the subject by taking professional courses in a classroom or online or distant learning and which many have formal textbooks like you would find in a community college or university.
IASHEP founders also knew why charge a person for taking a course over when they may have taken it somewhere else. So, IASHEP allows courses to be challenged. What if you do not have a degree? does IASHEP shut you off like other professional associations do now and require our professionals to have a degree? No. IASHEP believes in Life Learning Skills just like major colleges and universities do. Knowledge is what IASHEP is searching for and IASHEP will help its Ohana family achieve knowledge and Ohana leaves no family member behind no matter where you live in this world.
As stated earlier, IASHEP was founded on Family First.
Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind”. Though true, there is a deeper meaning to the word and spirit of Ohana. It goes beyond inclusion of not being forgotten. Ohana is about fostering loving and lasting relationships with those closest to us, including family, friends, our IASHEP members, our Charities, and our community. As an organization, we strive to implement the value of Ohana into our lives and daily work.
Our Two Charities: Once Again Built Around The Idea of Supporting FAMILY
St. Jude Children Research Hospital - The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
Tunnels To Towers - Since 9/11, Tunnels To Towers has been 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.
Now you know our humble beginnings and why we are so proud of our IASHEP family members. IASHEP will always be there for you.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital opened its doors on February 4, 1962, based on Danny's dream that "no child should die in the dawn of life." Since then, we’ve made incredible strides in childhood cancer research. We’ve helped improve the survival rate of childhood cancer from 20% to 80%. And ALL, the disease with a virtual death sentence in 1962, now has a survival rate of 94 percent.
Today, we’re a world leader in developing new, improved treatments for children with cancer, and we create more clinical trials for cancer than any other children's hospital. We freely share those breakthroughs, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
And still today as when we opened our doors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all they should worry about is helping their child live.
Danny Thomas passed away in 1991, but he left us with an enduring legacy and commitment to saving the lives of children everywhere. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
Stephen Siller grew up steeped in St. Francis of Assisi's philosophy that “while we have time, let us do good.” This philosophy guided Siller through life and became his legacy after the firefighter died tragically on Sept. 11, 2001, trying to save the lives of those trapped in the towers of the World Trade Center.
The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation (named after the path Stephen took on foot to help) honors those who put their lives on the line to protect our country. This takes the form of several programs, including building Smart Homes for veterans that have been severely injured.
The International Assoc. of Safety Health Environmental Professionals (IASHEP) is a supporter of the foundation.
The International Association of Safety Health & Environmental Professionals (IASHEP) is not a government agency and is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Labor or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
