Industrial Hygiene is primarily concerned with the control of occupational health hazards that arise as a result of or during work. Industrial Hygiene has been defined as that science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace, which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort among workers or among citizens of the community. At Fermilab members of the Industrial Hygiene Subcommittee will utilize the AREC process to ensure that employees are not overexposed to physical, chemical or biological agents during the course of their work.
