What Is Industrial Hygiene?
Industrial hygiene is the science of identifying, evaluating and controlling environmental factors in the workplace that can make workers sick or impact their health and well-being.4
Occupational health is an important part of a productive and safe workplace. And it’s also an essential part of an overall industrial hygiene (IH) plan.
Whether your business has simple or complex needs, our team of industrial hygienists can partner with you to create an IH plan that’s specific to your needs.
