What is Industrial Hygiene?

Industrial hygiene by definition is the science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers.

OSHA has developed and mandated many health requirements in more than six million U.S. workplaces. These requirements include air contaminants and chemical, biological, physical, and ergonomic hazards.

What is an Industrial Hygienist?

An Industrial Hygienist is a professional who is trained to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control workplace conditions that may cause illness or injury to workers. The primary goal of industrial hygiene is to protect the health and well-being of workers by identifying and minimizing exposure to hazardous substances and physical agents in the workplace.
