Webinar: Ethical Insights for CIHs and CSPs: Exploring the BCSP Code
Earn 2 Contact Hours
Since 2020 The Board for Global EHS Credentialing (BGC) has required those recertifying for the Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) credential to complete 2 hours of ethics education each renewal cycle. In mid-2023, Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) announced a similar requirement for Certified Safety Professionals (CSPs) to obtain 0.5 points from ethics courses every recertification cycle. As both organizations have showed their commitment to ongoing ethics education and conversation, it raises questions around the ethical issues each professional faces in their work, how each party views the ethical challenges through the lens of their credentialing group and how these ethical codes can be used to develop effective strategies to navigate these challenges while upholding professional integrity.
Join us as we delve into an overview of the BCSP code of ethics, comparing it with the CIH code of ethics. Together, we will explore ethical issues faced by safety professionals and common ways to navigate these issues without risking losing your certification. In addition, you will learn about the world’s most ethical companies as rated by Ethisphere and Gallop Poll’s annual review of professions ranked by honesty and ethics.
Those CIHs who are not dual certified in safety can benefit from learning about the BCSP code of ethics as it fosters a broader perspective on professional ethics, facilitates collaboration with safety professionals, supports career development, and ensures alignment with ethical standards in occupational health and safety practices.
A short questionnaire will be sent to attendees prior to the webinar allowing you to ask questions and share an example of an ethical situation where you applied the BCSP code of ethics. Response to this questionnaire is optional but will allow for a webinar more tailored to your needs and interests and for greater interaction and more engaging experience.

Webinar Recording: Professional Ethics and Practice of Industrial Hygiene
Earn 2 Contact Hours
Each certification cycle, OEHS professionals reaffirm their commitment to the ethical practice of industrial hygiene. However, many practitioners do not often refer to the Code of Conduct or Canons of Ethical Conduct, nor have occasion to consider their implications. In this litigious society, it is increasingly important to test our understanding of ethical issues that could lead to legal liabilities, ethical misconduct allegations or conflicts of interest, to ensure the integrity of our own practice, and serve as a knowledgeable sounding board to colleagues facing difficult ethical dilemmas.
This webinar will heighten practitioner awareness by using case studies and references from the literature to illustrate the Code of Conduct for the Practice of Industrial Hygiene and its interpretive guidelines, discuss ethical issues associated with emerging areas of practice and consulting, and review ethics code enforcement issues relevant to the industrial hygiene profession. In addition, understanding and taking action to comply in good faith with the Code of Conduct will maintain the CIH as a hallmark for those practicing in the OEHS field.

Webinar Recording: Ethics in Risk Management - Complex, Prickly, Paradoxical Webinar
Earn 2 Contact Hours
A core value for OEHS professionals is ethical behavior, as they work towards a shared vision of healthier workplaces and a healthier world. Achieving this requires assessing and managing risk through a multi-faceted lens.
Ethical anchors are at the heart of any consideration about what to do, if anything, about risk. Whether framed in qualitative terms (good versus bad, acceptable versus unacceptable) or quantitative terms (permissible exposure limit, recommended exposure limit) we are always engaged in judging ethics and morals in making decisions about risk.
This process is rife with complexity, tension, and paradox which arise from this arena’s values-dependent and subjective nature. A central question is, “to whom or what is something a risk?” Depending upon the context and the “who or what,” risk may be acceptable or not; however, the ethical and moral considerations are real and ever-present.
This webinar will explore a wide range of topics in regard to ethics in risk management while sharing experiences and real-life outcomes. Various scenarios will be addressed using the AIHA code of ethics as a framework for discussion.
The presenters have created a crossword puzzle containing important ethical concepts for OEHS professionals.
