Southern California AIHA

We are the Southern California section of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA). Our members are industrial hygiene professionals who seek to prevent workplace-related illness or injury.

The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) is an organization of professionals dedicated to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of environmental factors arising in or from the workplace that may result in injury, illness, impairment, or affect the well-being of workers and members of the community.

The American Industrial Hygiene Association, founded in 1939, is an organization of professionals dedicated to the prevention of workplace-related illness or injury. With more than 11,000 members, AIHA is the largest international association serving the needs of occupational and environmental scientists and engineers practicing industrial hygiene.

The purposes of AIHA are to promote the field of industrial hygiene, to provide education and training, to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information, and to represent the interests of industrial hygienists and those they serve.

The Southern California Section of the AIHA has a membership drawn mainly from the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, with members from Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Inyo, Kern, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara counties represented. Persons outside these counties with an interest in industrial hygiene may also join as members.
