    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health and Safety
    • Metrology
    • Standards Development

    Background:

    • The need for standardized measurement systems in industrial hygiene.
    • The global trend towards the International System of Units (SI).
    • Previous challenges and opportunities in adopting metric standards.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the AIHA's official policy on metric system adoption.
    • To promote a unified approach to measurement in industrial hygiene.
    • To ensure clarity and consistency in scientific communication.

    Main Methods:

    • Adoption of the International System of Units (SI) in all official AIHA publications.
    • Cooperation with other technical societies for a coordinated national conversion.

  • Inclusion of U.S. customary units in parentheses when necessary for clarity.

    • Main Results:

    • AIHA commits to utilizing the SI, as modified for U.S. use, in all its documents.
    • A framework for voluntary, orderly national conversion to the metric system is supported.
    • Enhanced consistency in reporting industrial hygiene data is anticipated.

    Conclusions:

    • The AIHA officially adopts the SI for its publications.
    • This policy supports a national move towards metrication in scientific fields.
    • Clear communication and data comparability will be improved through SI adoption.
