What is Industrial Hygiene?

Industrial hygiene is the science of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling workplace conditions that may cause workers' illness or injury.

The Four Pillars of Industrial Hygiene

Anticipation & Recognition — Identifying potential health hazards before they cause harm. We proactively assess your workplace to find chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic risks that could affect worker health.

Evaluation & Measurement — Quantifying workplace exposures through scientific sampling and analysis. Air monitoring, noise dosimetry, and other measurements determine if exposures exceed OSHA and Cal-OSHA limits.

Control & Prevention — Implementing effective controls to eliminate or reduce hazards. Engineering controls, administrative procedures, and personal protective equipment recommendations based on the hierarchy of controls.

Documentation & Compliance — Maintaining records to demonstrate regulatory compliance, support worker compensation claims, and document good-faith efforts to protect employee health.

Why CIH Certification Matters

The Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) credential represents the highest professional standard in industrial hygiene

Gold Standard Credential

The CIH certification is administered by the Board for Global EHS Credentialing (formerly ABIH). It requires a combination of education, experience, and passing a rigorous examination covering all aspects of industrial hygiene practice.

Expert Knowledge

CIHs have demonstrated expertise in toxicology, exposure assessment, engineering controls, epidemiology, and regulatory compliance. This knowledge ensures accurate hazard evaluation and effective recommendations.

Ethical Standards

CIHs are bound by a professional code of ethics requiring objectivity, integrity, and placing worker health above other interests. Your assessment will be scientifically sound and unbiased.

Legal Recognition

CIH opinions carry significant weight in regulatory proceedings, litigation, and expert testimony. Many Cal-OSHA programs specifically reference industrial hygienist involvement.
