Earlier this week, the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The two organizations plan to “enhance and promote the roles of professionals in the fields of occupational and environmental health and safety and ergonomics,” according to an AIHA news release.
Both AIHA and HFES will promote each other’s offerings and work together on “joint OEHS and ergonomics education programs,” AIHA said.
“Members of our organizations work to improve the safety and well-being of workers in all walks of life,” HFES President Carolyn Sommerich, PhD, said in the news release. “Joint activities stemming from this agreement will better equip student and professional members of our organizations to be successful in their careers, and future advocacy initiatives will support safer and healthier work for all.”
