Consensus standards are critical tools for the industrial hygienist. They delineate the state of the art in protecting workers and the community from health and safety hazards and are recognized by the courts as the best choice in the hierarchy of available methods. In 2011, AIHA changed course on consensus standards involvement, from being a Standards Developing Organization itself, to representing the interests of the industrial hygiene profession on standards developed by internationally recognized consensus organizations such as ASSP, ASTM and ISO. The poster will review progress made, and current and future activities necessary to ensure the continued relevance of AIHA and its Members in the industrial hygiene consensus building process. The poster will be presented by members of the AIHA Standards Advisory Panel, and attendees will be invited to provide input to the future of AIHA standards activities.
