5. Professional Services
Descriptions of services on this website are general in nature. The specific scope, responsibilities, deliverables, schedule, fees and terms of any professional engagement are determined by the applicable proposal, agreement, authorization or other written arrangement between US-EHS and the client.

Where a regulation or standard requires an employer or other responsible party to designate, authorize, evaluate or determine the qualifications or competency of an individual, participation in training does not replace those responsibilities.
