Effective November 28, 2011, the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) has discontinued CM point request reviews for Category 4 Education events. The courses and webinars given by the OSHA Training Institute fall under this new policy.

Course approvals numbers listed in this table expire after the end of Fiscal Year 2012 (September 30, 2012).

Courses and webinars for which approval was not obtained prior to the institution of the new policy do not have an Approval Number. CM points listed for these courses have been calculated according to guidelines published by ABIH and are provided to our students as a courtesy only. Each Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) is responsible for double-checking both the CM point values and the point types (Industrial Hygiene or Safety) before submitting his/her worksheet at the time of application for certification renewal. See www.abih.org for additional information.

CIHs are advised to retain course certificates, course matrices or schedules, and the course description found in LearningLink as well as any other materials that will support documentation of attendance and content of Category 4 Education events in case that their applications are audited by ABIH.

The certification maintenance points that are listed in this table (whether provided by ABIH prior to the institution of the revised policy or calculated by OETD) apply only for course sessions sponsored by the OSHA Training Institute and listed in our course catalogs. Courses that are given at the request of OSHA Regions, Area Offices, other Federal agencies, State or local governments, or private companies may involve variations in length and/or content from that of similar courses given by OTI, even when taught by OTI instructors. The requesting agency or company is considered the sponsor of such courses.

Updates to this table will be made as necessary. For details of ABIH policy, please consult the organization's website.

Webinar/webcast approvals are listed separately after the full courses.

Webinars/archived webcasts for which OTI has obtained CM point approval are listed below. These approvals are good through September 30, 2012, except where noted below. However, the approvals for each webinar/webcast do have a specific start date. In order to receive CM points, you need to have a certificate of completion that is dated on or after the listed start date, and before the listed expiration date if it is other than September 30, 2012. If you took a listed webinar/webcast between January 1, 2009, and September 30, 2009, you will need to re-take the offering to get a certificate with a date that ABIH will accept. You can register to re-take the offering through LearningLink.

In line with the discussion above for regular OTI courses, webinars for which approval was not submitted prior to November 28, 2011, do not have an Approval Number. CM points listed for these webinars have been calculated according to guidelines published by ABIH and are provided to our students as a courtesy only.

Prior to January 1, 2009, ABIH had a different approval system. Please see the ABIH website for Approval Numbers and CM points for webinars taken before this date.
