The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines Industrial Hygiene as follows: "Industrial hygiene is the science of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating and controlling workplace conditions that may cause workers' injury or illness. Industrial hygienists use environmental monitoring and analytical methods to detect the extent of worker exposure and employ engineering, work practice controls and other methods to control potential health hazards."
Well, that sums it up...right? Not so much. Industrial hygiene is basically the science of protecting the health and safety of people in their workplace through evaluating and controlling conditions in such a way to protect the well-being of employees. A good first step to achieve acceptable industrial hygiene is to have an industrial hygienist evaluate the current conditions at a facility and aid in writing a plan to correct or modify any areas of concern.
