§ 20703 Industrial Hygienist Regulation Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •The government can't make rules about how certified industrial hygienists do their job.
  • •Unless there's a specific law that says they can regulate a certain activity that might include industrial hygiene work.

Example

A city tries to make a new rule saying all industrial hygienists must wear blue shirts while working.

The city can't do this because the law says only the state can make rules for industrial hygienists, and only if there's a specific law about it.
