<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The Canadian Registration Board of Occupational Hygienists (CRBOH) was established in 1986 to provide a registration would be based in Canada. It was decided that registration would be based on a competency examination following an appropiate combination of academic qualification and relevant professional experience. While the examination was being developed hygienists who met certain educational and experience requirements and who held other certifications by examination were registered. In 1989 CRBOH, after much deliberation and review of other existing certification examinations, selected a two-part scheme consisting of both written and oral examinations. The rationale for the selection of the CRBOH examination format is discussed in relation to forms of evaluation currently being used in the United States and the United Kingdom. The implication of CRBOH registration on the training and education of occupational hygienists in Canada is highlighted</abstract>
