Waldorf University Partnership

Answer: IASHEP is a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. IASHEP is not "owned" by the people who start it, nor their successors in leadership. These individuals operate in a position of trust and accountability for the public at large, who, via government, allow nonprofits to operate exempt from the taxes that for-profit businesses must pay.

When nonprofit managers and consultants talk about "ownership" of a nonprofit organization, they're using the word metaphorically to make the point that board members, staff, clients, and the community have a stake in the organization's future success and its ability to provide needed programs.

Answer: The International Assoc. of Safety Health Environmental Professionals (IASHEP) a nonprofit corporation and is not a C corporation. Nonprofit corporations are regulated under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. Unlike C corporations, the purpose of nonprofit corporations is not to make profits for the owners.

Answer: IASHEP memberships are good for one year and like any other professional organization the member must renew their membership annually to keep their professional credential in good standing.

Answer: IASHEP Membership dues are $100.00 per year. As the title says, your IASHEP annual dues are due on January 1 of each year. Failure to renew your IASHEP membership will automatically cancel out your professional credentials since all certified IASHEP members must be in "Good Standing" with the Association to maintain their professional credentials.

Answer: IASHEP courses will be evaluated by Waldorf University for possible transfer credit into an undergraduate degree program in Occupational Safety and Health or Environmental Management. Once you submit an application, they will provide you with a Degree Action Plan that will specify the hours of transfer credit awarded.

This evaluation is complimentary, and CSU will waive the application fee! To obtain academic credits through CSU, a student must first complete the IASHEP course, pass the test, then submit their IASHEP course certificate to CSU for evaluation. For more information on the various OHS degrees offered by CSU, send an email to onlineadmissions@waldorf.edu.

Also, as an IASHEP member, you are eligible for a 10% reduction in tuition fees, free textbooks, and other significant savings.

Answer: Yes, the International Assoc. of Safety Health Environmental Professionals has met the stringent third-party auditing process of the International Association of Continuing Education & Training (IACET).

Answer: The following is an example of companies, regulatory boards and organizations that have been reported to accept the IACET CEU credit. This list is not exhaustive, nor does it guarantee that an IACET CEU will automatically be accepted. CEUs may be subject to additional review by that specific company, board, or organization. IACET does not regularly monitor changes in organizations or regulatory boards' requirements for acceptance of IACET CEUs.

Answer: Yes, IASHEP re-certification cycle which is three (3) years, begins on the date that you receive your certificate and expires threes years later. For those just achieving certification, your first recertification cycle is longer than three (3) full years following the start of your cycle. It begins the day you become certified and ends on your certification date. You are responsible to track your own recertification points and dates.

Certified members can fill out a Recertification Worksheet for their first cycle (over 3 years) and can claim points from all activities during that cycle, but must abide by the maximum points allowed in each category.

The IASHEP recertification handbook will be posted on the IASHEP website under the section titled forms.
