Spring 2020 News Letter from The President Hello Pittsburgh Chapter AIHA members, So sorry we had to postpone the President’s luncheon and in person meetings scheduled this past month. That particular meeting is everyone’s annual favorite. It’s been a significant turn of events with a true pandemic. We recently were able to help MSA and AHN surgical group to identify resource information for disinfecting N95 respirators for reuse. This is a great ongoing outreach opportunity that we have for the Pittsburgh AIHA Chapter. We are glad to have additional members involved. As we continue isolation and some phased in return to the workplace after working at home, take advantage of the time you have at home with your families. Capitalize on virtual or online training opportunities where you can to help further develop as an Industrial Hygienist. Many volunteer and donation opportunities are also available. Laura Haslett, Cardno ChemRisk donated respirators and PPE to Allegheny County. MSA has also donated 65,000 N95 respirators to local Pittsburgh hospitals and first responders. Expecting to have some meeting opportunities even if we have to be creative, we will keep you posted.
