Industrial Hygiene II A knowledge of the conventional methods, techniques, and principles of industrial hygiene is required, which enables the member to independently perform assignments related to the identification, evaluation, and control of industrial health hazards. Applies knowledge and skills necessary to conduct surveys and evaluate health hazards in industrial shops, laboratories, supply depots, warehouses where hazardous material is stored or transported, building construction or similar work areas. The industrial hygienist determines compliance with established threshold limit values and evaluates exposures using standard methods to determine the nature and amount of toxic material present in a variety of materials, such as environmental samples, body fluids, and industrial processes. The industrial hygienist independently determines measurements to be made and methods to be used, and calibrates and selects a variety of standard equipment.

Recommendations made concern the use of standard control measures and changes to work procedures or schedules to comply with established health requirements.
