HKIOEH
Goes Electronic
In the coming new
century, it will be the era of electronic. Accessibility can be improved
through transforming ways of business being conducted ¡V by going electronic.
The Electronic Service Delivery will become dominant. We may contact other
persons via the television, Internet, public kiosk, or telephone linked to the
computer system - that is to go electronic. HKIOEH strongly supports it, as it
would be more green and efficient.
Therefore, the
Secretariat wishes to have the consent from with members who want their e-mail
address made known to the others and allow the Council to contact them via the
e-mail. They may also indicate whether they want to obtain information by the
electronic version only if the document can be transmitted electronically. This
is the last Newsletter to you if you do not indicate you need the HARD COPY
VERSION of the HKIOEH Newsletter.
Members can make their

PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
Registered
Professional Hygienists (RPH)
The
registration scheme has started to register members who want their names to be
put in the list of RPH. It is the first step towards the continuous
professional development programme, equivalent to the certification scheme
administered by other International Associations. Members, who have attain the
qualification of the Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) granted by the
American Board of Industrial Hygienist (ABIH), the Diploma in Occupational Hygienist
(DOH) granted by the British Examining Board of Occupational Hygienist (BEBOH)
or equivalent plus relevant working experience in the field, may be considered
for admission to the register until 2001. From 2002 onwards, members have to
take the local examination before admission to be RPH.
Members
who do not have the above qualification may take the examination offered by the
HKIOEH Examination Board in Mid-2001. Members are required to pass two papers:
one core paper and one advanced paper. Application fee for the examination is HK$
200 (non-refundable) and the examination fee is HK$ 800 for each paper. The
deadline of application for examination and exact examination date will be
announced in the next issue.
