As McKernan and T.J. Lentz explained in the May 2018 , users of OEBs have expressed a need for resources, documentation, and guidance. AIHA has also identified hazard banding as a “research priority,” which means that AIHA is prioritizing activities that will help deploy hazard banding and occupational exposure banding tools. To help achieve this goal, the ECBC is undertaking the following projects. The ECBC will poll its sixty members on their positive experiences with occupational exposure banding and control banding and future desires for these tools. This poll will help clarify the content of a survey that will be sent to the broader AIHA membership. The results of that survey will inform the committee about ways to promote use of these tools.  Case studies are the best way to inform members about the utility of banding approaches. The ECBC seeks case studies in applied use of the NIOSH Occupational Exposure Banding eTool for the development of OEBs. These cases studies will be included in planned updates of the 2007 AIHA publication “Guidance for Conducting Control Banding Analyses.” In addition, as proposed by presenters at AIHce EXP 2018, case studies for banding approaches related to emergency planning, indoor air quality, and screening of exposures will also be collated. The result will be a well-grounded set of case studies for use in researching and validating banding models.  A significant shift is occurring in the core of industrial hygiene practice that will drive more organizations to frame exposure management to hazards at the appropriate “band” of risk. As a result, two very important communities must be engaged: the leaders of AIHA’s student sections and local sections, to promote training sessions on banding topics; and formal educators at schools accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI), who will need to adopt resources on banding and demonstrate their utility through case studies to educate the next generation of industrial hygiene practitioners. The 2007 AIHA guidance document on control banding addressed issues related to interpretation of the results of banding. Similarly, in 2014, OSHA published a request for information that acknowledged the difficulty of using banding approaches to demonstrate regulatory compliance. The ECBC will be watching the published literature and OSHA communications regarding these issues in order to develop future information for training and education. Finally, the promotion of banding is not the domain of AIHA alone. In collaboration with the AIHA Exposure Assessment Strategies Committee’s Dermal Exposure Team, the ECBC will be studying the utility of banding approaches to dermal surfaces. Jointly, we hope to respond to a request for information about banding with specific direction and case studies for using banding tools in exposure management to support the development of an ISO standard. If you would like to help with these projects or learn about current uses of banding tools, please consider joining the ECBC. More information about the ECBC is available on AIHA’s .
