Certified Safety Health Environmental Technician - Honor (CSHET-H)
IASHEP believes in God, Family, Country, Service. In honor to recognize our military personnel who decided to protect our country in its time of need to our country or help defend liberty in other countries instead of going on to college and for those military service women and men who were injured while on duty serving our great country or worse who never made it home and to the many who are still Missing In Action, IASHEP Board of Directors has decided to develop a new professional designation. The Certified Safety Health Environmental Technician -Honor (CSHET-H) professional credential.
A Certified Safety Health Environmental Technician – Honor (CSHET-H) professional credential is specially designed to honor and recognize military personnel who were injured while serving our great nation or did not make it back home after serving their country.
This Certified Safety Health Environmental Technician – Honor (CSHET - Honor) certification also recognizes military personnel or retired military service members with no degree and with three (3) or more years of work-related technical knowledge gained in their military occupational military specialty code (MOS) or Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC)
If you have served our country and have served under honorable conditions you are eligible to receive this professional designation.
But IASHEP does not stop there, IASHEP realizes that when our women and men go off to serve our country and to help others, there is still a need for our people to be at home serving in the United States National Guard, United States Military Reserves, Fire
Fighters, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Law Enforcement Officers (LEO’s), Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT). State and federal safety, health environmental compliance officers, Doctors and Nurses working in healthcare facilities, working taking care of the family, working in factories, Safety health and environmental professionals working on construction on bases, working in warehouses, transportation industry, learning a trade by joining a union apprenticeship program or going to a trade school and other fields where our country needs them the most and where they decided not to go to college but to learn a trade and help our nation grow. You too protected our great country, and this professional credential is also offered to you.
The annual fee for this credential the $100.00 annual fee. If you served in the military or United States National Guard, United States Military Reserves, Fire Fighters, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Law Enforcement Officers (LEO’s), Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT). you will receive an extra 10% off your IASHEP classes when you go forward to advance your professional standing by

Professional Credential & Course Challenging
Challenging An IASHEP Certified Course Credential
The International Association of Environmental, Health and Safety Professionals (IASHEP) believes that if you have life learning skills which means when you learn a trade, it is for life. Regardless of where you live or where you work, you can take the skill with you. You have the potential to become a master of your craft if you stick with it, allowing not only opportunity for professional growth but personal growth, too.
IASHEP also believes if you have taken a course somewhere else like an OSHA Training Institute Education Center (OTIEC), National Safety Council (NSC), Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH) OSHACADEMY or other colleges and universities, or but you did not get a professional certificate or professional credential but only obtained a certificate of completion for that course, you can challenge the IASHEP professional credentialed course and change your certificate of completion to a professional credential.
How Do You Do This?
First – you must be a member of IASHEP which is $100.00 per year. Part of your membership funds go to support our two charities St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Tunnels to Towers. IASHEP is one of the only professional safety, health or environmental associations that gives to outside non-profit charitable organizations.
Secondly - You must request IASHEP to challenge the course by filling out the course challenge document that is found on our website at www.iashep.org and pay your course challenge fees. The fee for course challenging is $195.00.
Third (Testing) - You must take a proctored and timed open book examination and you must pass the written test with an 80% or better to receive your professional credential. You have three chances to pass the examination. There is an additional fee of $100.00 for each additional certification test retake.
Should you fail to pass the course challenge test, you must then take the classroom version of the course. Failure to pass the IASHEP professional proctored examination will result in your fees being non-refunded.
