The Industrial Hygiene (IH) Accreditation Program is designed to raise the standard for workplace health and safety testing and assessment.
An industrial hygiene laboratory specializes in analyzing samples collected from workplace environments to assess potential exposure to hazardous substances. The results of these analyses are critical, as they inform decisions that directly impact worker health and safety. Therefore, it is essential that these laboratories consistently produce accurate, high-quality data.
This program provides laboratories and organizations with a clear pathway to demonstrate technical competence and adherence to rigorous quality standards across key industrial hygiene disciplines, including air monitoring, noise exposure, chemical hazards, and biological agents.
