The Importance of an Industrial Hygiene Program
Industrial hygiene, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), is "the science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace, which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort amount workers or among the citizens of the community. These "environmental factors" often involve chemical air contaminants, but this classification also includes noise, vibration, radiation, and more.
An industrial hygiene program is key to protecting workers’ health and safety and to staying compliant with OSHA regulations as well as non-regulatory standards (such as the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)). Industrial hygiene consulting ensures that any industrial hygiene program is effectively tailored to meet both regulatory requirements and industry best practices. It will protect your organization’s reputation by maintaining a safe workplace.
