Introduction to Industrial Hygiene

MARCOM’s Introduction to Industrial Hygiene course is an interactive online training program that discusses how Industrial Hygienists look at the work environment, identify problems that could affect workers’ safety and health, and find ways to eliminate or alleviate those problems.

Industrial hygiene has been defined as the science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace that may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort among workers or the citizens of the community.

Areas covered in the course include worksite analysis, air contaminants, chemical and biological hazards, physical hazards like noise, vibrations, light, temperature, heat and radiation, ergonomic hazards, and more. The course uses a combination of audio, full-motion video, text, and colorful graphics. It is divided into logical sections so information is easily understood and retained. The course is 100% online, self-paced, and accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
