15-slide PowerPoint presentation (not counting the title and reference slides)
that provides an overview of industrial hygiene. You may use the textbook, the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) booklet on industrial
hygiene, the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) website, and other

sources using APA format. Include the following information in your

field of industrial hygiene.
Describe how the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 advanced the field of industrial
hygiene.
Discuss the major
U.S. industrial hygiene organizations, such as OSHA, AIHA, the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), and define their
roles in industrial hygiene and the protection of workers from hazards in the
workplace. (You may include foreign organizations if you are currently working
outside of the United States.)
Briefly describe
the code of ethics for industrial hygienists.
Explain the
impact of federal regulations on workplace safety and health.
Define the types
of hazards addressed by industrial hygienists.
Discuss the types
of control methods used by industrial hygienists.

Use the notes
section within PowerPoint to create the dialogue or script that you would use
when speaking to the audience about the information presented on each slide.
Your PowerPoint presentation should be constructed using Times New Roman font,
and the slides should not contain a font smaller than 30 points; 28 points
should be the absolute minimum.
