Competing for limited resources in the

Developing a value proposition, the sum total of the
costs and benefits of interventions, allows the Industrial
Hygienist to advance employee health and safety using
classical business methods. The AIHA
Value Strategy is a comprehensive process where the
Industrial Hygienist aligns risk management with business
objectives, promoting stakeholder values. Workshop

study, identifying and promoting interventions, using IH
risk management and business tools and methods, and
demonstrating the value of Industrial Hygiene by presenting
the value proposition.
