Industrial hygiene
Call it hazard control.
The goal of industrial hygiene is to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control workplace conditions that could cause injury, illness, impaired health or significant discomfort in workers.
Industrial hygienists determine the extent of employee exposure to hazards (chemical, physical, ergonomic or biological) and decide what’s needed to control these hazards.
Industrial hygiene is an essential part of any successful workplace safety program.
And that’s smart safety!
