Collaboration of shared goals greatly benefits OEHS industry

Fairfax, VA — The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) is proud to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Canadian Council of Occupational Hygiene/Conseil Canadien d'Hygiene du Travail (CCOH). The MOU between the not-for-profit organizations was signed June 2 and will promote the coordinated effort to improve worker health and safety.

The relationship between AIHA and CCOH will generate joint activities which enhance and highlight the role of occupational hygienists and other OEHS professionals, advancing the practice and industry at-large. This collaboration will foster joint educational programming, including professional development activities, and contribute to the annual American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Exposition (AIHce).

AIHA's President, Elizabeth Pullen, CIH, anticipates great success from the partnership.

We think that the collaboration will provide a great opportunity for both AIHA and CCOH to further our mission and goals of protecting worker health," Pullen stated.
