Can the NIOSH 582 equivalent course be taught in-house?

This course may be taught in-house so long as equivalency can be demonstrated. To document equivalency, a course syllabus with a minimum of 30 classroom hours must be provided to AIHA for approval. Additionally, the current revision of the NIOSH 7400 method states the course instructor should have taken the NIOSH 582 course at NIOSH within the last three years of presenting an equivalent course. The AIHA Registry Programs, LLC recognizes that NIOSH no longer offers this course and is in the process of evaluating alternatives. In the interim, the AIHA Registry Programs, LLC recommends that the instructor should have taken a NIOSH 582 equivalent course from an approved vendor within the past three years.
