ABSTRACT
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 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 they use employee engineering, administrative controls, and other methods, such as personal protective equipment (PPE), to control potential health hazards (OSHA, 1998).
