The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Past Events
Since the Association`s founding in 1939, AIHA’s annual conference has focused on the important trends, needs, research, technologies, training, and connections that make occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals – all of whom are responsible for the safety, health, and environment of today’s workspaces – more efficient in their pursuit of protecting worker health. AIHA Connect is targeted to occupational health and safety scientists, industrial hygienists, EHS specialists, safety professionals, risk management professionals, consultants, and others responsible for safety, health, and the environment at their organizations and in their communities.

Building on IH fundamentals, this intermediate three-day course is designed to provide additional training and knowledge in the aspects of industrial hygiene chemical monitoring through group exercises and discussion. Attendees work in groups of four and build on their knowledge gained in the Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene course. Each group is assigned to a department of a fictitious company. The groups review MSDS, identify similar exposure groups (SEG), conduct qualitative assessments, design quantitative sampling plans based on OSHA and NIOSH sampling methods (both direct reading and integrated sampling), calibrate equipment, prepare laboratory analysis requests, interpret monitoring results (SAE, mixture rule, extended shift OEL), identify potential control measures, and then communicate the results to both management and workers.
The 11th International Occupational Hygiene Association (IOHA) International Scientific Conference? is the must-attend conference for occupational hygiene professionals worldwide. The conference will provide a unique integrated platform of workplace health and well-being in a professional and scientific arena, ideal for hearing the latest science and viewpoints, as well as, networking and professional development opportunities. The theme of IOHA Washington 2018 is Bringing Better Health to Workers Worldwide.
