Industrial Hygienist
An Industrial Hygienist identifies, evaluates, and controls workplace health hazards such as chemical exposures, noise, radiation, and ergonomic risks. They conduct air sampling, biological monitoring, and hazard assessments to protect worker health. Working across industries including manufacturing, construction, and healthcare, they develop safety programmes, ensure regulatory compliance with OSHA standards, and recommend engineering controls or PPE solutions to minimise occupational illness and injury.
