American Industrial Hygiene Association
Pittsburgh
Local Section
The Pittsburgh Local Section of the AIHA is a non-profit organization providing a local forum for Industrial Hygienists in Western Pennsylvania, parts of West Virginia and Ohio. The purpose of our organization is to promote the study, evaluation, and control of environmental stresses in the workplace as they impact the health and well being of our employees and the public. The local section, by offering monthly programs and seminars, provides opportunities to increase our knowledge of industrial and environmental health through the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of information to our members.
This site is intended to provide Local Section Members with information pertaining to membership, meetings, National AIHA events, ABIH certification maintenance, and other Association information. Suggestions to improve this site can be submitted to the Website Coordinator for consideration or click on "Contact Us" at the left.
