Organizations are responsible for the overall health and safety of the workers they employ,

from warehouse workers to the executive suite at their desks. Keeping employees safe and
healthy requires knowledge of industrial hygiene, which is the science dedicated to the
anticipation, recognition, evaluation, communication, and control of environmental stressors in
the workplace that may result in injury, illness, impairment, or otherwise affect the wellbeing of
workers and community members.

Industrial hygiene is concerned with identifying, evaluating, and controlling real or potential
workplace environmental stressors or hazards that can affect the well-being of workers and
community members. Ideally, hazards are identified and controlled when a workplace is being
planned, when conditions or processes change, or through yearly reviews, before they become
an issue for workers. After a hazard is identified, an industrial hygienist will work with the
company to control or eliminate the hazard. This can include substituting a chemical for a less
hazardous one, reducing exposure to hazards, utilization of personal protective equipment such
as gloves or goggles, or increasing ventilation.

Optimizing the components of industrial hygiene through monitoring and analyzing hazards and
engineering solutions to minimize those hazards will help control potential health risks that
impact both workers and your organization. These hazards can cause a wide range of negative
outcomes from disease and injury to lost time and reduced productivity in your organization.
Understanding the principles of industrial hygiene will help to control these factors more
effectively and thus have a healthier, more productive workplace.

As a future sanitary engineer, I believe it encompasses a wide range of health and safety
concerns in the workplace. As a professional, I should be familiar with the basics and key
components of industrial hygiene such as ergonomics, noise, temperature, ventilation, etc.
