Welcome to the American Industrial Hygiene Association website. AIHA is one of the largest international associations serving the needs of occupational and environmental health professionals practicing industrial hygiene in industry, government, labor, academic institutions, and independent organizations.
As the New Administration Moves Forward AIHA sent a letter to President Obama offering support for his proposal to create more than three million new jobs for American workers. With 600,000 of these jobs intended for the construction industry and another 400,000 for manufacturing, AIHA believes it is vital that the appropriate number of health and safety professionals is included in this new labor force to protect these new workers. As the new Administration moves forward, AIHA urges the President to direct OSHA to ensure that the new jobs created by his stimulus package have adequate workplace protections for these workers.
