Industrial Hygiene is the art and science of identifying and controlling workplaces stressors that can cause illness or disease. These illnesses can develop from low level exposures over the course of many years. Many of these low-level exposures need sensitive equipment used by a trained industrial hygienist to identify and quantify worker exposure levels compared to established exposure guidelines.
Health Stressors that industrial hygienists can help identify and control include:
- Noise
- Heat
- Radiation
- Chemicals
- Dust/fume/mist
- Indoor Air Quality
- Repetitive stress and ergonomic injuries
