The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) is an internationally recognized organization that supports the health and safety of workers. AIHA recognizes there is a very real possibility for a pandemic influenza outbreak throughout the world. After reviewing the evidence-based science, state-of-the art research, and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and National Institute for Occupational Safety Health (NIOSH) standards, AIHA has developed this supporting document to help ensure adequate control measures are implemented for the health and safety of individuals, including those working in the healthcare industry. AIHA recognizes this document may also apply to other novel or aerosol transmissible diseases.
