From volunteers to related organizations, many people help make up the AIHA family. These smaller, more focused groups are often the oil that keeps the AIHA machinery running.
The AIHA volunteer community works hand-in-hand with the Association to achieve our mission to protect workers health through:
facilitation of networking and information exchange among members
development of products, services, and activities for educational purposes
development of guidelines and standards for good practice
development of statements to contribute to public policy debates
collaboration with other allied organizations
