A Tribute to Our Volunteers

When the WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic on March 11, 2020, occupational and environmental health and safety (OEHS) professionals swiftly mobilized. AIHA members like you worked all hours of the day and night to draft guidance documents, fact sheets, posters, and infographics. You spoke with the media, contacted policymakers, shared best practices, and spread awareness of AIHA’s resources. You helped personal protective equipment (PPE) donations reach essential workers. You addressed questions about PPE, disinfection, and so much more—all on your own time.

One year later, as the world reaches a new “normal,” AIHA volunteers continue to develop resources to reflect evolving science. This booklet celebrates the hundreds of generous AIHA volunteers who raised awareness of the OEHS profession and our mission-critical role in fighting the pandemic.
