Industrial Hygiene is the science of protecting and enhancing the health and safety of workers by identifying and controlling workplace hazards. These hazards can include harmful chemicals, noise, and physical agents that may cause illness or injury. By assessing these risks, industrial hygienists develop strategies to minimize exposure and ensure a safer work environment.
To achieve this, industrial hygienists use various tools and techniques, such as air sampling and noise monitoring. They also provide training and guidance to employees on safe practices. Ultimately, the goal of Industrial Hygiene is to promote worker well-being and prevent occupational diseases.
