What's an Industrial Hygienist?
We spend the majority of our lives doing jobs that have the potential to expose us to natural and/or man made hazards. Industrial Hygienists are committed to protecting the health and safety of people in the workplace and the community. Most often Industrial Hygienists specialize in industries where the majority of the employees are exposed to a potentially hazardous environment. Industrial Hygienists must be familiar with the industrial hazards for which they hold responsibility. Depending on the specialization of the Industrial Hygienist, these hazards may include: exposure monitoring, chemical hygiene, thermal stress, noise, radiation, biological hazards, etc.
Industrial Hygienists are public health scientists committed to protecting the health and safety of people in the workplace and the community. Industrial hygienists assure a healthy working environment by evaluating workplace conditions and implementing protective control measures.
