CEU's, ABIH CM Safety Points, and BCSP Points

The CEU, or Continuing Education Unit, is a nationally recognized unit of measurement for post-secondary education, professional development and career training.

CM points are accrued by Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIHs) who are certified by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene. Please note that ABIH requires CIHs to maintain verification of the courses and conferences that they attend. Verification must include the following: a certificate, letter, attendance roster or other documentation from the sponsor verifying completion of the entire course or educational program.

BCSP points may be accummulated by taking health, safety, or environmental courses to contribute toward Board of Certified Safety Professional Continuance of Certfification (COC) or Certfication Maintenance. CSP's may earn COC points and OHST's or CHST's may earn CM points by taking these courses. BCSP points are determined by CEU's (1 point for every CEU), ABIH points (1 point for every ABIH point), or contact hours (1/4 point for every 3 contact hours).

Please refer to individual course pages for the CEU, ABIH, and BCSP points awarded for each course.
