For most industries, there will always be hazards that create risk for employees. The trick, of course, is trying to control and address labor safety and hygiene hazards as much as possible. If companies in the manufacturing and construction industries, for example, have the right plan, they can stay ahead of the game and mitigate those risks as much as possible.

In any industrial setting, health and safety is everything. If you can’t keep workers protected and convince them that they are safe on the job, things are likely to fall apart quickly. Of course, putting together a plan for industrial hygiene and safety is easier said than done. There are a lot of factors to consider that are sometimes easy to overlook.

Approaches to health and safety in the workplace are as many and varied as the safety issues your workplace may encounter. After all, workplaces are diverse, and they need to find a safety approach that works for their needs.

Custodians are among the most underappreciated members of the workforce. Day in and day out, they work hard to make the office a usable space for every other worker.

Industrial hygiene is an important piece of your EHS program, but many companies struggle to prioritize it.
