Industrial Hygiene Safety Assessment and Control Industrial hygiene is best defined as the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of factors in the workplace which can adversely affect the health and well-being of personnel. More and more employees are voicing concerns about the air they breathe, the chemicals they use, and the noise levels to which they are exposed. When confronted with such employee complaints, the only responsible choice management can make is to analyze the situation and determine a course of action.
Industrial hygiene is often the professional resource necessary to direct such efforts.
