Promoting the Profession
Many opportunities exist for members to visit schools and deliver presentations on industrial hygiene topics or the profession in general. Potential audiences include: K-12 student groups, community colleges, undecided or basic science undergraduates, undergraduates in IH/EHS programs, graduate students in IH/EHS, and career fairs for professionals looking to change or enhance their career path.
The following are a handful of programs that AIHA has put together for members to share with the public audience:
IH Professional Pathway
AIHA's IH Professional PathwayTM program for industrial hygienists was created from a desire to align Association resources and development opportunities with the various careerlevels of the profession. The resulting program encourages and supports the attainment of credentials such as certifications and registrations. To learn more about the program visit the IH Professional Pathway Center.
Safety Matters Center
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) are proud to present Safety Matters, a program to raise awareness among young people about workplace safety and health. The program is a one-hour interactive teaching module and PowerPoint presentation targeted to students in grades 7 through 12 and can be used by safety professionals to equip young people with the knowledge they need to participate in safe and healthy work environments throughout their working lives. The materials presented in this module are based on a full curriculum from NIOSH, Talking Safety.
