What workplace hazards do industrial hygienists test for?

Industrial hygienists will evaluate things such as:

  • Air contaminants - Particulate or gas and vapor contaminants including dusts, fumes, mists, aerosols, and fibers.
  • Biological hazards - Bacteria, viruses, mold, and other living organisms that can cause infections.
  • Chemical hazards - Hazardous solids, liquids, gases, mists, fumes, dusts, and vapors.
  • Ergonomic hazards – Tasks that expose workers to eye strain, repetitive motion, heavy lifting, awkward or static body postures, excessive vibration and noise.
  • Physical hazards - Ionizing and non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, noise, vibration, illumination (lighting), and temperature extremes.
