Occupational Safety/Industrial Hygiene

Occupational Safety

"Industrial hygiene is the science of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling workplace conditions that may cause workers' injury or illness. Industrial hygienists use environmental monitoring and analytical methods to detect the extent of worker exposure and employ engineering work practice controls, and other methods to control potential health hazards."

"A safety professional is a person engaged in the prevention of accidents, incidents, and events that harm people, property, or the environment. They use qualitative and quantitative analysis of simple and complex products, systems, operations and activities to identify hazards. They evaluate the hazards to identify what events could occur and the likelihood of occurrence, severity of results, risk (a combination of probability and severity) and cost."

-- The American Board of Industrial Hygiene
