Industrial Hygiene is the science devoted to the management of those factors arising in or from the workplace that may cause sickness, impaired health or illness among workers. Industrial Hygiene is a proactive program used from the shop floor to the manager’s office. Industrial Hygiene is used when:

• Health hazard issues arise
• Regulatory changes are proclaimed
• New projects and processes are being engineered
• Risk assessments are performed
• New materials and equipment are introduced to the workplace
• Industrial air quality and other job safety standards cannot be taken lightly.
