The American Industrial Hygiene Association® (AIHA) has launched a new consumer-focused website that gives the general public to access resources and information about industrial hygiene and related fields.

The website, which went online December 15th, is a consumer guide to the profession, careers and matters of concern to industrial hygienists. The new site provides information about day-to-day responsibilities of an industrial hygienist, what it takes to achieve an industrial hygiene career, and the important issues and challenges an IH professional routinely addresses.

The AIHA says www.workerhealthsafety.com will be constantly updated with industry news and information. It will be linked to www.aiha.org. Additionally, users will find links to EPA, NIOSH, and state OSHA programs.
