The ABIH Industrial Hygiene Code of Ethics states that a CIH must “Assure that a conflict of interest does not compromise the legitimate interests of a client, employer, employee or the public and does not interfere with professional judgements (I)(A)(7).” The Joint Industrial Hygiene Association Member Ethical Principles require the industrial hygienist to, “Disclose to clients or employers significant circumstances that could be construed as a conflict of interest, or appearance of impropriety (II)(B)(1).” The fourth canon of the Industrial Hygiene Canons of Ethical Conduct states, “Industrial Hygienists shall avoid circumstances where a compromise of professional judgement or conflict of interest may arise.” The Canon's interpretive guidelines also offer that an industrial hygienist should disclose known or potential conflicts of interest to parties that may be affected.

Based on the guidance in the preceding paragraph, Julie could select between DEF or HIJ to resolve the potential conflict of interest and hope she can retain the non‐selected client. Alternatively, Julie could let both clients know that she has been approached by the other bidder and propose she be made a member of both teams. She would offer her services to both clients at the same rate and terms effectively removing her as a factor in which team is awarded the work.
