What is AIHA?

The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) is a 501c6 non-profit organization founded in 1939 to ensure that occupational and environmental health and safety (OEHS) hazards are anticipated and eliminated or controlled in workplaces and community settings.

With more than 8,500 members across the U.S., AIHA provides comprehensive educational programs and resources to help OEHS professionals maintain the highest professional and competency standards.

You can learn more about AIHA and access our latest press releases, position statements, and resources on aiha.org.

What is the Purpose of the OEHS Careers website?

AIHA is committed to supporting current and future OEHS professionals as they seek guidance and resources to strengthen their professional skillset and pursue STEM careers. The OEHS Careers site allows us to:

  • Give high school and college students an introduction to the benefits of pursuing an OEHS career

  • Spread awareness of the NIOSH Education and Research Centers (ERCs) that offer free STEM college tuition and ABET-Accredited Industrial Hygiene (IH) programs

  • Provide teachers and counselors with resources that help encourage students to explore OEHS careers

  • Connect early-career OEHS professionals with job opportunities through our OEHS Careers job board
