Industrial hygiene includes the development of preventive and corrective measures in the pursuit of health hazards through a regulatory hierarchy.

As such, the industrial hygienist is one of the expertise of occupational health and safety professionals who harmonize knowledge in various disciplines. In general, practitioners anticipate and identify the various types of work, operations or processes, then make quantitative assessments through monitoring (measurement) of rates or increased exposure to hazards that are the focus.
