	American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) community of professionals advance worker safety and health through education and the development and dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge.
		The independent National Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (NCGIH) convened on June 27, 1938, in Washington, D.C. NCGIH originally limited its full membership to two representatives from each governmental industrial hygiene agency.
		In 1946, the organization changed its name to the ACGIH and offered full membership to all industrial hygiene personnel within the agencies as well as to governmental industrial hygiene professionals in other countries.

		Certain industrial hygienists in the particular state felt that the decision was a threat to their livelihood.
		Industrial hygienists having specified high qualifications of experience were given one year to apply for certification without examination.
		Graduate study in industrial hygiene or in a science utilized by industrial hygienists may be accepted as equivalent to part of the eight years of practice.

		ACGIH STEL: American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists' threshold limit value short-term exposure limit; a 15-min time-weighted-average exposure which should not be exceeded at any time during a workday.
		ACGIH TLV: American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists' threshold limit value expressed as a time-weighted average; the concentration of a substance to which most workers can be exposed without adverse effects.
		Ambient measurement: A measurement (usually of the concentration of a chemical or pollutant) taken in an ambient medium, normally with the intent of relating the measurement value to the exposure of an organism that contacts the medium.

		Each ACGIH member contributes his or her knowledge, experience, and expertise, and in turn, each member benefits from the collective resource ---the wealth of opportunities for professional development and growth.
		ACGIH members are recognized throughout the profession for their active participation on committees and task forces; as organizers, presenters, and attendees at conferences and symposiums; as authors, columnists, and peer reviewers; and as representatives to allied organizations.
		Associate Members may vote on all Conference matters and may serve as a member-at-large on the Board of Directors or as a member of an appointive Committee.

		At its inception in 1938, the National Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, which changed its name in 1946 to the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, was one of only a few places where workplace exposure to hazardous substances was considered important.
		Even though the ACGIH has in place a conflict of interest requirement that all members of the TLV Committee must sign and agree to, it may not be possible to differentiate between work of ACGIH and work for their employer.
		The ACGIH clearly states that its TLVs are not to be used as regulatory limits, but the regulatory agencies incorporate them by reference and they become a standard affecting all employers without the full open, regulatory process required today.

	Skeptical Industrial Hygienists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Herrick talks of how the industrial hygiene profession slowly moved from purely industrial settings to other workplaces—which were seen, in comparison, as "apparently benign environments," and from measurements of chemical sources to bioaerosols (including mold).
		Herrick continues, "There was a tendency to dismiss the worker's complaints, because the exposures we measured in their environments did not approach the levels we had become accustomed to finding in the workplaces where industrial hygienists had traditionally practiced.
		In other words—or in my words at least—the historical approach of industrial hygiene has been to determine issues of regulatory compliance for chemicals—not science, not cause and effect, not medicine, not mold.

		This canon provides standards of ethical conduct for Industrial Hygienists as they practice their profession and exercise their primary mission to protect the health and well-being of working people and the public from chemical, microbiological, and physical health hazards present at, or emanating from, the workplace.
		Practice their profession following recognized scientific principles with the realization that the lives, health, and well-being of people may depend upon their professional judgment and that they are obligated to protect the health and well-being of people.
