The Philadelphia Section AIHA’s January lunch meeting will be a presentation of the AIHA’s 2011 Ethics Webinar, “Examining Professional Ethics and Industrial Hygiene”.  This event will be held on Tuesday, January 31st at the West Chester University Graduate Business Center (West Chester, PA) 

Ever increasing competitive pressure and the growing technical complexity within our profession conspire to blur the lines of right versus wrong and pose substantial challenge to the practitioner, dedicated to doing the right thing.  The consequence of unethical behavior and decision making pose great reputational risk to the individual and to the organizations we represent.  The recent array of scandal and wrongdoing in the financial sector and elsewhere has resulted in outrage and the erosion of public trust.  This too raises our collective stake in fostering ethical behavior in our practitioners.

Through this Teleweb the practitioner will gain an understanding of Ethical Behavior and the factors that influence it.  We will zero in on the meaning of doing what is right through discourse around real dilemmas that confront industrial hygienists routinely.  On the more mechanical side, we will review recent changes in the ABIH Code of Ethics and consider tools and methodologies to resolve Ethical Dilemmas.

This meeting is being co-sponsored by the West Chester University Environmental Health program
