My Blog Got a Facelift

​

Back in 2021, I was in a bit of a pickle.

You see, my CIH certification was coming due and my maintenance points were, let’s say, on the light side.

So, what did I do?

I started writing technical articles on industrial hygiene.

And guess what?

It turned out to be a blast!

And now my website has a fresh new look.

Who says that an article on Occupational Exposure Limits has to be boring?

Happy reading!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

I’m excited to dive into new articles on Safety + Leadership soon.

Let me know what you think about the new blog, OK?
