Chip Spreader Safety Training
What is the difference between Chip Spreader and occupational health or occupational hygiene?
There is no difference between the two. In the United States, people use the term “industrial hygiene.” In most other countries, they use the term “occupational health.”
What is meant by industrial hygiene?
Industrial hygiene is a science that involves anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling hazards in the workplace that could harm employees.
Why is industrial hygiene important?
Employees want to return home from work each day just as healthy as when they left. They also want to keep their loved ones safe from any harmful substances they work with on the job. The best way to maintain employee health and safety is to prevent hazardous conditions from arising in the workplace. This helps employees keep their loved ones safe, in turn.
How do I get my Industrial Hygiene Certification?
At a minimum, hygienists must get a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field of study. Then, they must do on-the-job training and get certified through the American Board of Industrial Hygiene. Beyond that, hygienists have to stay up to date on all their certifications. To further advance their career, they may consider getting a master’s degree in a relevant field of study.
What is the main focus of industrial hygiene/occupational health?
The main focus is to preserve employee health and safety in the workplace. The goal is to eliminate any work-related injuries or illnesses. Hygienists accomplish this through identifying hazards recommending safer work practices.
What are the principles of industrial hygiene/occupational health?
The principles include anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling hazards to employee health and safety.
What are the types of industrial hygiene/occupational health?
