The conference theme for this year was In the IH Toolbox, Risk Analysis. The conference spanned the two days of meetings. The first day focused on risk assessment as a core competency for industrial hygienists. The second day technical program focused on the use of Bayesian inference as an approach to risks, decisions and judgment for industrial hygiene. The second day program also featured updates from the AIHA, ACGIH, NIOSH and OSHA. The Program was moderated by Program Chair, Frank Hearl, who was assisted by members of the YPSW Board of Directors.
