I have a bs in geology and asp. Hoping to get into a space where I can start working towards my cih. I’m worried not having an engineering degree will hurt my chances, figured I’d feel around.
I’ve seen a lot of people say that pocket prep was different and the questions looked a lot different. Can anyone elaborate on how different they look? And in what ways?
Hello all,
I have almost finished up my graduate certificate from Murray state in industrial hygiene, I also have a bs in geology from CU Boulder.
I’ve been working at a large construction site as a ehs engineer, mostly doing scaffolding work, public health analysis, crane oversight, things of that nature.
I realized in order to qualify for cih I need ih experience that’s 50% of my duties, id like to get started on it now
I love ehs, I do construction safety and it’s been decent for me. Love how much the ehs industry is growing and the stability of the job, also at times is even kinda exciting!
I hate being seen as a narc or enemy when I’m just trying to keep people safe, and from my older colleagues I’ve heard a lot of people want to leave the field. Most of the people I know want into sales positions or more Foreman types.
For those of you that left, where’d you go? Why?
Reading through the Yates book and doing pocket prep. On thr mock exams I’m getting like upper 80’s without really trying, it’s all process of elimination mostly.
But when I read through the yates book I see all of these equations and chemistry, stuff I haven’t seen since like EM and gen chem 2,
Also the fourth edition is riddled with typos and errors, I know Yates is a respected member of the ehs industry but the typos make reading these high level concepts extremely difficult
My question is how similiar to pocket prep is the asp? How much math and chemistry is on it? (Even like niosh lifting equations or pel, twa, stuff like that). Is it necessary to remember the periodic table?
I have no idea what to expect! Any advice is appreciated.
