Our membership is comprised of occupational hygienists, safety professionals, occupational health physicians, ergonomists, environmental engineers, consultants, health & safety equipment suppliers; and others who have interests in occupational health, safety or environmental issues. AIHA Manitoba serves members in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The benefits of AIHA Manitoba membership include establishing contacts with professionals involved with Occupational Hygiene, opportunities to actively participate on a variety of our committees, and opportunities to express your views on key issues relating to Occupational Hygiene.

Through AIHA Manitoba, you can apply for membership in the National AIHA. While you are not required to be a National member to join AIHA Manitoba, prospective members are encouraged to apply for National membership, as National membership is a requirement for election to certain executive positions within the Manitoba section. AIHA National membership information and application forms can also be obtained by contacting me.
I sincerely hope that you will decide to become a member of AIHA Manitoba. After all, the strength and effectiveness of an association depends solely upon its membership. Please give me a call if you require further information. I look forward to hearing from you!
