This Committee strengthens the profession by strengthening the relationship between the two groups (ACGIH and AIHA); seeks out areas where collaboration would be cost-effective; selects projects which would compliment both organizations; and recognizes the equal, but different, core missions of the two organizations.

Current members of ACGIH-AIHA-JOEH Interaction Committee:

To assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities as they relate to the financial reporting process, internal controls, and the annual audit. The Committee will maintain an effective working relationship with the Board of Directors, ACGIH® management, and the organization’s independent external auditors. The Committee shall prepare and submit to the Board of Directors each year an annual budget. The Committee shall have supervision over investing and reinvesting ACGIH® funds. The Committee shall meet at least once annually.

Current members of Audit & Finance Committee:

To select an individual(s), a group(s), or both to be given an award for outstanding contributions to occupational and environmental hygiene. Current members are:

To compile and disseminate information on biologically derived contaminants that may become airborne, to develop recommendations for assessment, control, remediation, and prevention of such hazards, and to establish criteria for bioaerosol exposure limits. Current members are:

To develop occupational biological exposure guidelines that are scientifically valid and supported by professional judgment, up-to-date, well-documented, understandable and clear, and produced by a clearly-defined process that is balanced and free of conflict of interest. Current members are:

To provide a safe and healthful environment by integrating state-of-the-art information from government and industry sources, using them to develop and recommend ventilation and other engineering controls to capture, collect, filter, and remove airborne contaminants from the workplace.

Current members of Industrial Ventilation Committee:

In 1995, the Boards of AAIH, ABIH, ACGIH®, and AIHA adopted a joint Code of Ethics to which members of these organizations shall conform, and to which every applicant attests by signing his or her membership application.

The Ethics Education Committee is simply that — an educational resource. The group is not an enforcement group or resolution board, but serves the membership by bringing to its attention ethical dilemmas facing the IH, and can serve as a sounding board for challenges facing the professional. In all cases, the Committee is guided by the canons of ethics

Current members of Joint Industrial Hygiene Ethics Education Committee (JIHEEC):

Select a list of nominees for Board Directors and Nominating Committee for the annual election.

Current members of Nominating Committee:

Thomas Peters, PhD, CIH
Edward (Ted) Zellers, PhD
Pam Susi, MSPH, CIH
Cynthia Cooper, CIH
Beth Angus, MPH, CIH
Seth Ebersviller, PhD, CIH

Staff Liaison: Phillip Rauscher, MPH, CIH, CSP

To recommend airborne concentrations of agents and exposure conditions for use in the practice of industrial hygiene and by other qualified professionals to protect worker health.

Current members of Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances Committee:

To develop occupational exposure guidelines for physical agents, including those of an acoustic, electromagnetic, radiological, ergonomic, mechanical, and thermal nature.
