Lab Analyst
OWEA VOLUNTARY LABORATORY
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
In the 1980's the Ohio Water Environment Association was concerned about the control of the quality of analysts working in our treatment plants and established a voluntary certification program for laboratory analysts. This program has met with success over the years and now, although not mandated by the State, many facilities require their analysts to have OWEA Laboratory Certification.
OWEA currently has certified over 700 people
as a Class I, Class II, Class III, or Class IV analyst.
The OWEA Voluntary Wastewater Laboratory Certification Program exam will be in Columbus and Cleveland on October 22, 2010 with the application deadline September 10, 2010. Applications postmarked after these dates will not be accepted. A fee of $95.00 must accompany the application.
