Big Data & Sensor Technology Vision Statements

  1. AIHA members leverage cutting-edge sensor technologies and data management functions to inform risk assessment and management decisions.
  2. AIHA members understand and possess competencies in applying sensor technologies and "big data" analytics to provide an integrated profile for hazards and exposures.
  3. AIHA members have software platforms that use standardized data criteria and tools that facilitate data transfer and the use of data repositories.

Education

  • AIHce EXP on Demand, whether you missed attending AIHce EXP in person or virtually, you don’t have to miss out on the great educational programming that was shared! AIHce OnDemand session recordings bring the best of AIHce EXP directly to you. Choose the topic areas that best meet your education needs and get access to cutting-edge presentations through your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
  • AIHA University
    • Education in Hot Topics & Emerging Issues, stay on the cutting edge of trending topics and emerging issues with insights and research from OEHS industry leaders.
    • Making Accurate Exposure Risk Decisions, a complimentary video series that will teach you a basic understanding of the properties of lognormally distributed exposure profiles and how to use traditional and Bayesian statistical analysis tools to make accurate exposure risk decisions based on monitoring data. Upon completion of the webinar video series, you will have the knowledge needed for the successful completion of the exam for the AIHA Exposure Decision Analysis Registry.
  • eLearning Subscription is a cost-effective solution for professionals, companies, and AIHA Local Sections to stay on top of the hottest topics and issues affecting the IH/OEHS profession.
  • 2020 IH/OEHS Data Standardization Survey Report analyzes the AIHA/NIOSH Big Data Task Force study. The purpose of this study was to determine current industrial hygiene practices related to air and noise sampling among OEHS professionals and their organizations.
  • AIHA Supplemental Air & Noise Sampling for IH/OEHS Data Standardization Survey Results showcase the findings from the AIHA/NIOSH collaboration to gather input on the standardization of IH/OEHS data collection and analysis. The AIHA/NIOSH Big Data Task Force created a survey focused on the data elements that should be collected in relation to air and noise sampling. The goal of this survey was to get feedback on a list of data elements that represent the minimum, essential information needed for accurate reporting of air and noise sampling results and for potential, future data aggregation

Bodies of Work

Volunteer Committees’ Bodies of Work include Position Statements, Fact Sheets, Guidance Documents, and White Papers. Access an extensive library of resources developed by AIHA Volunteer Committees in their areas of specialty on various topics of interest.

Frameworks

Frameworks are written by appointed members and volunteers who worked collaboratively to develop the following guides, which outline the knowledge and skills a competent person should possess and be able to demonstrate in a specific topic or specialty.

  • Technical Framework: Big Data explains how the IH/OEHS professional could be analyzing and managing data sets consisting of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. This work enables conscientious decisions on how to protect worker health best and predict future exposures.

AIHA Webinars

  • An Introduction to Big Data and Big Data Analytics addresses the question: "what is big data and how can it help occupational and environmental health and safety professionals?" This webinar provides an essential introduction to big data and data analytics through a case study highlighting how OEHS professionals and data scientists can work together to handle big data and perform data analytics at their organizations.
