AIHA Offering Risk Management TeleWeb on Aug. 19
The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) will host "What Industrial Hygienists Should Know About Risk Management and Insurance," an intermediate TeleWeb Virtual Seminar on Aug. 19 from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time.
In recent years, many industrial hygiene programs have been involved in organizational re-alignments, shifting from stand-alone units to assimilation into comprehensive environmental health and safety programs, according to AIHA. Such shifts compelled individuals to expand their professional knowledge base to better understand the roles of their new organizational colleagues. But the trend of organizational transformation has not stopped.
This course will provide an overview of the risk management and insurance profession from the health and safety program perspective, specifically addressing:
<>
How an organization's loss exposures are identified and analyzed
How risk management alternatives are evaluated
How the most desirable option is selected
The implementation of selected risk management techniques
The monitoring of effectiveness
