Introduction
Course overview
Industrial hygiene protects workers from health hazards such as chemicals, dusts, noise, heat, radiation and biological agents. Occupational diseases often develop over years and are preventable with proper exposure management.
This Aractech course explains how to anticipate, recognise, evaluate and control occupational exposures, including exposure limits, sampling strategies, monitoring equipment, data interpretation, ventilation and health surveillance. Participants design exposure monitoring plans.
The course builds practical capability for HSE and occupational health professionals.
