Recent research shows how IHs are adjusting to times of uncertainty, opportunity and no guarantees.
Next month, Gary Rosenblum, a certified industrial hygienist, will speak at a safety symposium on the topic of Life After the Corporate Job. After 17 years at ARCO corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, where he logged time as the OSHA point person among other roles, Rosenblum's career has taken a digital direction. At the same meeting, Dan Markiewicz, another certified industrial hygienist, will talk about Surviving a Merger or Acquisition. When Aeroquip-Vickers, Markiewicz's employer for 13 years, was acquired earlier this year by Eaton Corp., he became a consultant for the new owners and was asked to provide content for Eaton's EHS intranet site. But what their moves say about future directions in industrial hygiene are all the more interesting because many IH professionals could easily relate to Rosenblum and Markiewicz.
