AIHA Core Competencies for the Practice of IH/OH

    ​Good afternoon.  I'm hoping that you all will help me to spread the word about the recently updated Core Competencies for the Practice of Industrial Hygiene.  Whether you are a student, an early career professional or someone who has been an IH/OH for a number of years, the Core Competencies publication is essential reading for everyone involved in the practice.

    Core Competencies outlines the essential knowledge, skills, and abilities that an IH/OH working at different levels of practice should possess.​​​ This revision also includes many of the soft skills that are required to be successful as an industrial hygienist. 

    Perhaps you can use it to guide your decision-making when it comes time to plan the sessions you will attend at AIHce or maybe you can use it to select a particular professional development course in the coming years. For example, when mapping out your 5 year personal development plan. I would also encourage mentors and mentees to use this document to decide on which technical topics to focus on during your mentoring partnership.
