NJAIHA Summer Review Course

The New Jersey Section of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (NJAIHA) is offering a comprehensive Industrial Hygiene Course. The course is designed to provide basic training in some critical areas of industrial hygiene and will likely be beneficial for those entering the field as well as those who are just looking to sharpen their skills in certain technical areas. In addition, many of the people who have attended the program have found it to be very helpful in preparing for the CIH examination. Certified Industrial Hygienists have the opportunity to obtain CM points per lecture (0.167 points per contact hour). Participants are welcome to attend any or all of the lecture sessions, depending on their individual training needs.

All classes will be presented virtually via Zoom or pre-recorded presentations. Participants will be provided with the schedule and Zoom login information before the first class. Classes are scheduled from 6pm-9pm on Tuesday evenings from June 3rd to August 26th. Access to the presentations and recordings will be available until December 2025.
