Founded in 2014, the International Association of Safety, Health, and Environmental Professionals (IASHEP) is a non-profit organization committed to providing education and professional certification in the safety, health, and environmental fields. Unlike other associations that rely solely on testing, IASHEP offers comprehensive training, allowing members to learn and challenge courses before taking an exam. We focus on knowledge, not just degrees, believing that true expertise comes from experience, learning, and hands-on education.
Rooted in the values of family and community, IASHEP’s founders have a shared vision of fostering an inclusive, collaborative environment. We support our members worldwide, offering diverse, accessible training to professionals in various industries—from government and public sectors to private companies and healthcare. Our work is further enriched by our charitable contributions to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Tunnels to Towers, reflecting our commitment to giving back and supporting families in need.
We are proud of our roots in industry, where our founders learned the trade through experience. With over 500 years of combined experience, our leaders bring practical knowledge from corporate management, government service, and consulting to guide the IASHEP community. Our approach ensures that each member is equipped with the skills, knowledge, and certifications to succeed in the safety, health, and environmental sectors.
At IASHEP, we believe in the power of education to change lives and create safer, healthier environments for all.
Construction is a high-risk industry involving various activities like building, alteration, and repair, exposing workers to hazards such as falls, unguarded machinery, heavy equipment, electrocution, and harmful substances like silica dust and asbestos.
These resources aim to help workers and employers identify, mitigate, and eliminate construction-related dangers effectively.
Manufacturing involves transforming materials into finished products, but the process comes with significant health and safety challenges. Workers may face risks such as machinery-related injuries and exposure to hazardous substances.
Workers may face hazards such as cave-ins, equipment accidents, exposure to toxic gases, dust-related respiratory issues, and prolonged noise exposure.
Implementing rigorous safety measures, proper training, and protective equipment is essential to minimize risks and safeguard the well-being of workers in this high-risk industry.
According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the environmental industry encompasses activities that create goods and services aimed at measuring, preventing, and mitigating environmental damage. This includes addressing issues related to water, air, and soil pollution, as well as waste management, noise control, and ecosystem conservation.
The oil and gas industry is vital for energy production but presents numerous health and safety hazards. Workers in this sector may face risks such as explosions, fires, exposure to toxic chemicals, gas leaks, and physical injuries from heavy machinery.
The healthcare industry, also known as the medical industry or health economy, is a vital sector that integrates various fields to provide goods and services aimed at treating patients. It encompasses curative, preventive, rehabilitative, and palliative care, all designed to improve health outcomes and quality of life. This broad industry includes hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical companies, and specialized care services, playing a crucial role in the well-being of individuals and communities.
