Have you ever wondered…
- When chemical toxins are accidentally released into the water supply or into the air, who tests to ensure that the levels of toxins are safe for the public?
- When a natural disaster floods basement or disrupts the sewer systems, who tests for possible toxicity and manages the cleanup?
- When schools and colleges need annual on-site inspections of their laboratories and drinking water, who completes the task?
All of these questions can be answered through the field of Industrial Hygiene.
This could be the right fit if you:
- You enjoy working with the public and problem solving, this may be a good fit for you.
- You will be working independently in the outdoors and in laboratory settings, so if you would like a career outside of an office setting, this career may be right for you.
- You are looking for access to a new career and would like to get started as soon as possible, this is an ideal career pathway for you, as the timeline to an entry level position is about 6 months.
