The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) is a 501(c)6 non-profit organization, whose mission is "Creating knowledge to protect worker health." The American Industrial Hygiene Association works to provide information and resources to Industrial Hygienists and Occupational Health professionals.

Occupational hygiene (United States: industrial hygiene (IH)) is the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, control and prevention of hazards from work that may result in injury, illness, or affect the well being of workers.

These hazards or stressors are typically divided into the categories biological, chemical, physical, ergonomic and psychosocial.

The risk of a health effect from a given stressor is a function of the hazard multiplied by the exposure to the individual or group.

For chemicals, the hazard can be understood by the dose response profile most often based on toxicological studies or models.

Occupational hygienists work closely with toxicologists (see Toxicology) for understanding chemical hazards, physicists (see Physics) for physical hazards, and physicians and microbiologists for biological hazards (see Microbiology Tropical medicine Infection) Environmental and occupational hygienists are considered experts in exposure science and exposure risk management.

Depending on an individual's type of job, a hygienist will apply their exposure science expertise for the protection of workers, consumers and/or communities.

Occupational safety and health (OSH), also commonly referred to as occupational health and safety (OHS), occupational health, or workplace health and safety (WHS), is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the safety, health, and welfare of people at work.

These terms of course also refer to the goals of this field, so their use in the sense of this article was originally an abbreviation of occupational safety and health program/department etc.

Freedom of information is an extension of freedom of speech, a fundamental human right recognized in international law, which is today understood more generally as freedom of expression in any medium, be it orally, in writing, print, through the Internet or through art forms.

This means that the protection of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content, but also the means of expression.

Freedom of information also refers to the right to privacy in the content of the Internet and information technology.

As with the right to freedom of expression, the right to privacy is a recognised human right and freedom of information acts as an extension to this right.

Lastly, freedom of information can include opposition to patents, opposition to copyrights or opposition to intellectual property in general.

The international and United States Pirate Party have established political platforms based largely on freedom of information issues.
