Q. Are you certified in EMF testing / EMF consulting and other Electromagnetic energy surveys and testing? Is there such a thing as a Certified EMF Consultant?

A. There is currently no such thing as a Certified EMF Consultant as far as the United States industrial and scientific community at large is concerned and I don’t see that materializing anytime soon. What I do have is my extensive education, experience and multiple certifications in non-ionizing radiation, industrial safety and hygiene. (listed here EMF Credentials)

I have Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and have nearly completed my second degree in Biomedical Engineering so I understand both the physics and physiology of bioelectromagnetics plus I have performed THOUSANDS of surveys over 22+ years for residential and commercial clients which qualifies me to be an EMF consulting expert. That along with my previous technical experience as a radio / instrumentation electronics technician, semiconductor failure analysis applications specialist, telecommunications & IT technician, nanotechnology research and lab manager, etc. which spans 35 years + gives me an extensive and well-rounded background to draw from.

Here is my extensive FAQ page on commonly asked questions about EMF testing & EMF safety levels.

I was also a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant in the State of Texas, and an AARST-NRPP Certified Radon Tester both of which require a knowledge of actual building science. In addition, I am a Certified Safety Professional, Certified Industrial Hygienist and a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager which means I am qualified in areas of occupational health and safety risks.

The nearest thing to a certification in the realm of testing in the nuclear radiation range (which is definitely proven harmful) would be a CHP or Certified Health Physicist designation (discussed more in the next section) as they do cover a little bit of non-ionizing radiation as well as nuclear radiation. An example of a certification course for non-ionizing radiation (NIRAD) is the certificate course in Non-Ionizing Radiation Safety offered by Colorado State University EDLL 2006 which goes into detail over RF (Radio Frequency) radiation, Static DC Fields, microwave, MRI, Ultrasound, UV / Broadband Light and Laser Safety along with a discussion on Industry Guidelines / Regulations. The course also goes over where the prevalent mythologies regarding EMF, powerlines and so forth came from in the first place.

Q. Why are your occupational health and safety credentials (CIH and CSP) relevant to being an EMF consultant?

The Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) credential is the global standard for certification in protecting the health and safety of workers and the public by anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling chemical, physical, ergonomic, or biological hazards, including COVID-19.

The Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) certification is also the premier certification for occupational health and safety professionals around the world. It is also considered the top certification for indoor air quality consultants. This most prestigious certification is offered by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) and is accredited through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).

One reason the CIH certification is extremely sought after is the difficulty in obtaining it. Few candidates qualify and the exam is very challenging. However, those professionals that push through with obtaining the CIH will have many opportunities opened to them.

4-year Bachelor’s degree with special STEM requirements
At least 12 Academic Semester Credits of Industrial Hygiene coursework from a college or university, or 240 contact hours from a continuing-education provider
At least 2 contact hours of ethics training
At least 4 years of professional level comprehensive industrial hygiene practice
Two letters of recommendation to detail your professional experience, one of which must come from a current Certified Industrial Hygienist
An application to become a CIH including taking an exam at a special testing center

The final exam test for a CIH is extremely difficult with a pass rate of only 35 – 40 % in any given year and many have to take it more than once to pass.

Why a CIH Certification is important: (from the ABIH / BCG website at http://www.abih.org/about-abih/cih-caih )

A Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) is an individual who has met the minimum requirements for education and experience, and through examination, has demonstrated a minimum level of knowledge and skills in the following rubric (subject matter) areas:

Air Sampling & Instrumentation
Analytical Chemistry
Basic Science
Biohazards
Biostatistics & Epidemiology
Community Exposure
Engineering Controls / Ventilation
Ergonomics
Health Risk Analysis & Hazard Communication
IH Program Management
Noise
Non-Engineering Controls
Radiation – Ionizing and Non-ionizing
Thermal Stressors
Toxicology
Work Environments & Industrial Processes
