EHS Certification Test

The EHS Certification Test is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests environment, health and safety (EHS) professional knowledge — hazard identification and risk assessment, safety management systems and incident investigation, occupational health, and environmental compliance with air, water and waste management — written to ISO 45001, ISO 14001, OSHA and US EPA guidance and the UK HSE for 2026. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable EHS Fundamentals certificate (SOA-EHS). Every question is based on published standards and research — including General industry standards (OSHA), Compliance assistance (air, water, waste regulations) (US Environmental Protection Agency), Health and safety basics for employers and workers (risk assessment, RIDDOR, COSHH, manual handling) (Health and Safety Executive (UK)) — and each answer is explained with its source.
