Chinese Province to Pioneer Certification Of Environment, Health, Safety Managers

摘要

Guangdong province will soon begin a pilot program for certification of environment, health, and safety (EHS) managers, the first such provincial-level professional certification in China, the executive director of the EHS Academy at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou told BNA Jan. 6. Currently there is no comprehensive, government-recognized certification for EHS managers in China, and creation of the certification could launch "a whole new profession" in the country, said Wan Yang, director or the Guangdong office of the U.S.-based Institute for Sustainable Communities, which is partnered with the EHS Academy.
