Back to WH&S Programs and Services
Industrial Hygiene evaluates pesticide products and labeling and recommends control methods, when needed, to ensure adequate protection for pesticide users and others who may be exposed. Evaluation includes review of labels and hazard communication literature (MSDS), application worksite evaluations, and onsite monitoring. Industrial Hygiene also evaluates the work place following exposure incidents and works with other organizations to develop mitigation measures applicable to pesticide application. Hygienists consult on matters of engineering controls, administrative controls, heat stress, personal protective equipment, and airborne monitoring methods.
