• • • Find out with this Industrial Hygiene Data Interpretation Game (IHDIG) that you can download on your smartphone or tablet PC? This game illustrates the need for industrial hygienists to use statistical tools every time they interpret sampling data. The IH DIG is a fun app to help Exposure Assessors train their unconscious data interpretation algorithms to better match a Bayesian Likelihood analysis.

Value Strategy
The goal of the Value Strategy Project was to illustrate the “business case” for IH programs and activities. To accomplish this goal, a multiphase research project was funded to develop and test a strategy that enables IH professionals to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the business value of IH activities and programs. An IH value proposition can be generated, which is the sum total of benefits that industrial hygienists will return to customers for their investments. In making the value proposition, industrial hygienists demonstrate to the stakeholders of a business that investing in an occupational hygiene program or hazard control measures will provide a return on that investment in the form of financial or other benefits (see Excel Spreadsheet).
