Presenters: 
Mora McPherson, MPH; Kevin Roegner, MPH, CIH; William Nichols, CIH, CHMM, CSP

This program is intended for early career and other career professionals in industrial hygiene and environmental health and safety. As industrial hygienists and EH&S professionals, our primary goal is to protect employees and ensure safe working environments. However, true success also requires us to communicate the business value of safety—showing how proactive measures lead to cost savings, a stronger bottom line, and a solid return on investment. We will discuss strategies to increase business acumen for early career professionals.

Evolving Roles in Industrial Hygiene: Finding Your Path
Monday, May 19 | 2:30 p.m.–3:15 p.m.
Presenters: Mora McPherson, MPH; Kyle E. DeGennaro; William Nichols, CIH, CHMM, CSP; Douglas Pastore, CIH

This program is intended to assist industrial hygienists who currently have a job or those who are just entering industrial hygiene but are looking to shift within the field. The field is constantly evolving and innovating. While there used to be many jobs with the title of industrial hygienist, these are now fewer and farther between. This discussion will explore traditional and non-traditional roles in industrial hygiene and the types of jobs and job titles that can include industrial hygiene. This presentation will focus on different paths and routes one could follow to work in the industrial hygiene field.
