About ABIH EthicsSince 2008, AIHA, ACGIH, ABIH and the AIH’s Joint IH Ethics Education Committee (JIHEEC) have been leading efforts to raise the level of awareness for ethics concerns. To reinforce the importance of ethics, it was agreed that ABIH would administer and enforce an ethics requirement for the IH profession. In November 2008, the ABIH Board of Directors passed a motion to implement the new ethics requirements for all new applicants and future CM cycles.

This was a joint, proactive effort by the IH profession to raise awareness through self-regulation.What are the "ethics requirements" and what qualifies for IH Ethics CM points?The ethics requirement is for a minimum of 2 IH Ethics hours (0.33 points) over the CM cycle. This can be done in separate sessions that cumulatively total 2 hours.

To better understand the types of subjects that qualify, see the ethics CM Area.Events are considered to be the IH Ethics CM Area if the subject matter aligns with the ABIH Code of Ethics or the Joint Industrial Hygiene Associations Member Ethical Principles.ABIH is interpreting this very broadly today. For example, appropriate subject matter includes: business conflicts, workplace relationships, technical judgment that compromises the values of an organization, integrity, professional conduct, confidentiality of sensitive information (e.g. HIPPA, human subject protection during research projects, employee medical records), conflict of interest, and intellectual property rights/plagiarism.Some additional guidance is available in the Ethics FAQ.
