RE: Occupational Safety and Health Technician Certification

The OHST certification is one which is administered by a joint ABIH/BCSP 
group.  It is exam-based and a good starting point for someone entering the 
occupational safety & health field.

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
