Radsafers:
     
        One of the job vacancy ads here at Los Alamos National Laboratory
contains
the following wording under the "Desired Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities" 
section:  'Certification as an occupational safety and health technician."
     
        Please excuse my ignorance regarding non-radiation-related
certifications,
but can anyone please enlighten me as to this OSHA technician certification 
program?  Does such a certification exist?  Can a person become certified 
by some testing organization as an "Occupational Safety and Health" 
technician?
     
Thank-you.
     
Best regards  David
