Introduction to Industrial Hygiene
The Introduction to Industrial Hygiene online course explores the role of Industrial Hygienists in identifying and mitigating workplace hazards, ensuring the health and safety of workers.
The Introduction to Industrial Hygiene online course explores how Industrial Hygienists scrutinize the working environment, pinpoint potential hazards that could negatively impact workers’ health and safety, and devise strategies to mitigate or reduce these risks. Industrial hygiene is described as… “The scientific and artistic practice of predicting, identifying, assessing, and managing environmental stressors or factors originating in or from the workplace that could lead to illness, compromised health and wellness, or substantial discomfort among workers or community residents.” While this definition may seem complex, what does it truly imply?
