Maintaining certifications

The CEU or continuing education unit, is a nationally recognized unit of measurement for post-secondary education, professional development and career training. OSHA Training Institute Education Centers (OTIEC) MCC provides CEUs for all of our safety and environmental courses.

  • Certification maintenance (CM) points are accrued by certified industrial hygienists (CIHs) who are certified by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene. Most of OSHA Training Institute Education Courses and HAZWOPER courses are approved for CM points. ABIH requires verification of course attendance.
  • Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) points are accrued by Certified Safety Professionals (CSPs) who are certified by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals.
  • BCSP points. OSHA Training Institute Education Center safety and environmental courses are approved for BCSP points. CSPs may earn continuance of certification (COC) points and Occupational Hygiene and Safety Technician® (OHST®) or Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST) may earn certification maintenance points by taking these courses. BCSP points are determined by CEUs (1 point for every CEU).
