2024 AIHA BC Yukon AGM Feature Speaker
John Mulhausen, Ph.D., CIH, CSP
Presentation Topic
“Better Exposure Risk Decisions for More Effective and Efficient Risk Management”
Presentation Brief Description
As OEHS practitioners our ability to protect workers is highly dependent on our ability to make accurate exposure risk decisions. If our decisions are wrong, we may leave at-risk workers inadequately protected, or waste limited resources on unnecessary controls. It is therefore critical that we develop our knowledge and validate our competency in the skills needed to ensure accurate exposure risk decision-making.
AIHA has unique free tools, training, and assessment resources available to all OEHS practitioners to advance their competency and performance in the skills and knowledge necessary to make accurate decisions about worker exposure and exposure uncertainty. They are an opportunity for all OEHS practitioners making exposure risk decisions to advance their professional competency, no matter their specialty (IH, OH, S, E, etc.), degree (Associate, BS, MS, PhD, etc.), certification (CSP, CIH, QEP, etc.), or experience level (new graduate, early career professional, seasoned professional, etc.).
