New CAOHC Website Feature
Occupational Hearing Conservationist (OHC) Online Verification System

Effective December 15, 2009 CAOHC will launch a new feature on our website. Due to the high demand by employers, Course Directors and Professional Supervisors to verify certification status of our OHCs, CAOHC has instituted an electronic process that will allow easy access of this information.

The process will be simple, just enter the first and last name of the OHC you are inquiring about and you will quickly be taken to verification of the OHC expiration date and their certification number.

Additional features will allow the OHC the opportunity to download a copy of their certificate and access their own records provided they have a current e-mail address on file with CAOHC. To ensure that your information is current please contact the CAOHC administrative office via e-mail at info@caohc.org or use the "Address Correction link" from the CAOHC website www.caohc.org
