Work-related health risks can either be eliminated, or, where this is not possible, managed and controlled so that the health of workers is protected and the likelihood of occupational illness or disease is minimised.

Work-related health risks can either be eliminated, or, where this is not possible, managed and controlled so that the health of workers is protected and the likelihood of occupational illness or disease is minimised.

12,000 lung disease deaths each year are estimated to be linked to past exposures at work. We can protect workers’ health and prevent most of these deaths.

Occupational hygiene is about recognising, evaluating and controlling risks to health in the workplace. Occupational hygienists have the knowledge and skills to help you protect your employees.

We are proud to share the research work of Dr. Alison Connolly UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Sports Science. To find out more about her work join us on bit.ly/45rGJ0L #Academictwitter #research #Publichealth #exposurescience #glyphosate #HBM4IRE #HBM4EU

Occupational hygienists have the skills to identify, assess and find solutions to control workplace health hazards and thereby manage any associated risk to health.

Welders are known to be particularly susceptible to lung infections that can, in some cases, lead to pneumonia. Other health hazards include asphyxiation through using inert gases that reduce the amount of oxygen in enclosed spaces.

To understand the type of control measure to use, you need to know at what level any exposure is acceptable. Workplace exposure limits (WELs) are the levels of airborne contamination that a worker can be exposed to.

Occupational hygiene is the discipline of protecting worker health by controlling workplace hazards that can cause harm. It also helps in maintaining worker well-being and safeguarding the community at large.
