Every workplace has hazards that affect all employees and potentially put their lives at risk. When employees are exposed to these hazards without the right protection, it can lead to injury, illness or death. So how do employers identify these hazards and mitigate the potential for injury? That’s where an industrial hygienist can help.
As we’ve done previously, this podcast is an audio component of our special coverage for our 90th anniversary in the September issue of the magazine. This podcast will focus on the history of industrial hygiene, including where it is now and where some see it going.
