Industrial hygiene is a field that focuses on identifying, evaluating, and controlling workplace hazards in order to ensure the health and safety of employees and students. This includes monitoring potential exposure to physical, chemical, biological, or ergonomic hazards that may be present in our campus environment. By implementing various strategies and controls, we strive to create a safe and healthy work environment for all members of our university community.
At the University of Kentucky, we have a strong commitment to ensuring the health and safety of everyone on our campus. Our industrial hygiene team works diligently to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and develop control measures to mitigate any potential harm.
As part of our commitment to safety, we regularly review and update our policies and procedures to stay current with OSHA and ACGIH standards. We also encourage open communication between all levels of employees to identify potential hazards and address any concerns that may arise.
