Industrial Hygiene

Industrial Hygiene is the science devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of those environmental factors or stresses that typically arise in (or from) the workplace, which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort among workers or among citizens of a community. Industrial hygiene includes the development of corrective measures in order to control health hazards by either reducing or eliminating the exposure. These control procedures may include such measures as the substitution of harmful or toxic materials with less dangerous ones, changing of work processes to eliminate or minimize work exposure, installation of exhaust ventilation systems, good housekeeping techniques and the provision of proper personal protection equipment.
