AIHA Supports President Obama's Job Proposal, Urges Worker Protection

Jan 28, 2009

The American Industrial Hygiene Association recently sent a letter to President Obama offering support for his proposal to create more than three million new jobs for American workers.

With 600,000 of these jobs intended for the construction industry and another 400,000 for manufacturing, AIHA said it believes it is vital that the appropriate number of health and safety professionals is included in this new labor force to protect these new workers.

As the new administration moves forward, AIHA has urged the President to direct OSHA to ensure that the new jobs created by his stimulus package have adequate workplace protections for these workers.

Vaask (V-ahh-sk) is inspired by the Norwegian word for “wash” and embodies the desire for a more modern class of clean. The touchless hand sanitizing fixture provides a superior performance engineered for no drips, no mess. The laser sensor accurately dispenses sanitizer from the 2-liter sanitizer cartridge, refillable with any alcohol-based gel of your choice. Vaask can be customized to complement the design of any space and comes in three mounting options. 3
The MGC Simple Plus

The MGC Simple Plus is a simple-to-use, portable multi gas detector that runs continuously for three years without needing to be recharged or routinely calibrated after its initial charge and calibration during manufacturing. The detector reliably tests a worksite’s atmosphere for hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and combustible gases (LEL). Additionally, it is durable enough to withstand the harshest treatment and environments, which is why it has an IP 68 rating. The MGC Simple Plus is also compatible with a variety of accessories, such as Gas Clip Technologies’ new GCT External Pump. Visit gascliptech.com for more information. 3
