ANSI/American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) standards
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association) develop standards to ensure workplaces are safe and healthy. These standards provide guidelines for measuring, controlling, and reducing hazards like chemicals, dust, and noise. They help occupational health professionals design effective safety protocols, perform accurate risk assessments, and implement protective equipment and procedures. Following these standards reduces the risk of illness and injury, creating safer work environments. They serve as trusted references for establishing consistent practices that protect workers and enhance overall industrial safety.
