Industrial Hygiene
IHS Industrial Hygiene software enables you to protect workers and facilities from occupational exposures, evaluate the effectiveness of your industrial hygiene program, and support increased productivity by reducing operational risks and costs.

Industrial hygienists need the ability to quickly assess potential risks, interpret sample results, and develop strategies to limit exposure. IHS Industrial Hygiene software provides the tools you need to:
- Ensure compliance with US and international occupational health standards
- Monitor workplace conditions
- Assess risk exposure
- Collect and document exposure data
- Identify opportunities to further control exposures
Industrial hygienists need to identify, evaluate and control occupational exposures to chemical agents and other physical, biological, or ergonomic hazards. IHS Industrial Hygiene software:
- Tracks work areas and zones, employee jobs, processes, tasks, personal protective equipment and exposure controls
- Provides preloaded physical and chemical property data for more than 1500 chemicals including those that pose the highest risk to workers. Users can also maintain exposure limits and other regulatory information for chemical and non-chemical agents.
- Generates user-configurable exposure notification reports for communicating sampling results and analysis to employees. Statistical analysis reporting is also available.
- Calculates time-weighted average concentrations for chemical agents allowing comparison to occupational exposure limits and regulatory standards.
- Enables hygienists to define similar exposure groups (SEGs), define exposure profiles for each SEG, and judge the acceptability of exposure profiles. Users can also track the calibration of testing equipment to ensure accurate sampling results.
- Assists the hygienist in determining exposure decisions and priority ratings to facilitate sampling plan development.
- Documents all circumstances related to a monitoring event including controls, PPE and exposure conditions.
- Manages sample results and calculates time-weighted averages/mixed exposures for chemical agents.
IHS Industrial Hygiene software provides a streamlined approach to storing chemical and non-chemical agent data, sampling device calibration data, and exposure results. The software's flexible framework enables you to:
- Identify key operations, activities, or work areas with the potential for exposure, as well as the different job tasks performed in those areas
- Track engineering controls by location, installation date, status, and effectiveness, and document which controls are in place during any monitoring event
- Maintain an inventory of the personal protective equipment (PPE) and document the PPE worn by an employee during exposure-monitoring sessions
- Track employee job history to document the various positions held by an employee over his or her work lifetime and their exposure to potential hazards
In addition, the software facilitates work characterizations, exposure assessments, and the process of defining similar exposure groups and exposure profiles (time-weighted average calculations and mixed exposure calculations).
