ASSE Members in Maryland Oppose Bill to Create New IH Designations
ASSE members in Maryland have taken a stand against a bill that would establish two new industrial hygiene designations in the state. In an ASSE Region IV letter to the bill’s sponsor, members opposed the bill because it exacerbated the confusion employers already face in determining quality, recognized professional designations in the occupational safety and health field and inappropriately recognized a membership organization, giving that group an unfair competitive advantage in Maryland.
