The Challenge: Moving Targets
The fundamental goal of industrial hygiene (IH) is to recognize, evaluate and control workplace stressors in order to protect the health of workers, but there are literally thousands of harmful chemical and physical stressors regulated by a complex collection of stressor-specific standards, and compliance depends on your ability to ensure exposures are within applicable occupational exposure limits (OELs). To make things more challenging, published OEL values are changing all the time as new health information and research comes to light.
If your business operates in multiple regulatory jurisdictions, you likely need to track and control different sets of stressors at each of your locations, and account for OELs that frequently differ from country to country. Even unregulated chemical and physical stressors can still have severe impacts to worker health, and protecting your workers means establishing safe levels of exposure based on industrial hygiene consensus standards and best practices.
