What is Occupational Hygiene?

Occupational Hygiene is the art and science focused on the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, communication, and control of environmental stressors in or arising from the workplace. These stressors can lead to injury, illness, impairment, or other negative effects on workers' well-being and, in some cases, members of the community. The stressors are typically categorized into Biological, Chemical, Physical, Ergonomic, and Psychosocial factors.
