Industrial Hygiene Laws

Industrial hygiene laws are regulations designed to protect workers from health hazards in the workplace. These laws require employers to identify, evaluate, and control exposure to harmful substances and environments, like chemicals, noise, and airborne particles. They often involve monitoring workplace conditions, providing necessary safety equipment, and training employees on safe practices. The goal is to promote a safe and healthy work environment, preventing illnesses and injuries related to occupational exposure. Compliance with these laws is enforced by agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure the well-being of workers.
