Chemical use in processes is unavoidable, whether in low or high dosages, causing workers to be exposed to chemicals and toxic substances during their work. Extended exposure to harmful substances may cause acute health effects to the employees, including dizziness, skin irritation, or even chronic health issues.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe working environment for their employees. By conducting Industrial Hygiene Monitoring, employers can assess the workers' level of exposure to hazards and the effectiveness of the hazard control measures.
