Industrial Hygiene Project Management

Industrial Hygiene Project Management

Project Management by an Industrial Hygienist

"Industrial hygienist project management" refers to the application of project management principles and practices within the field of industrial hygiene, where an industrial hygienist takes charge of planning, executing, and monitoring projects aimed at identifying, evaluating, and controlling workplace health hazards, ensuring compliance with regulations, and protecting worker health by assessing, consulting, and aiding in the managing of all aspects of a project from initiation to completion, including data collection, analysis, report writing, and implementation of control measures.

Key aspects of industrial hygienist project management:

  • Hazard Identification & Communication

For example, conducting site surveys to identify potential workplace hazards like chemical exposures, heat-related stress risks, and biological agents through sampling and monitoring techniques. 

  • Project Planning, Scoping, and Monitoring

Defining and monitoring project goals, necessary resources, including personnel, equipment, and sampling methods, and prioritizing the process of remediation, especially as it pertains to environmental and occupational safety and health compliance. 

  • Risk Assessment

Analyzing the collected data to evaluate the level of risk associated with identified hazards and prioritizing control measures based on severity and exposure levels.

  • Control Measure Development and Implementation

Designing and implementing appropriate control measures to mitigate identified hazards, such as engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). 

  • Communication and Stakeholder Engagement

Maintaining open communication with clients, management, workers, and other stakeholders throughout the project, including regular updates and progress reports. 

  • Data analysis and reporting:

Analyzing collected data, interpreting results, and preparing comprehensive reports outlining findings, recommendations, and corrective actions.

Example project types an industrial hygienist might manage:


  • Indoor Air Quality Assessments

    Investigating complaints related to air quality issues like mold, volatile organic compounds (VOCs and other chemical agents), and particulate matter. 

  • Indoor Environmental Quality Assessments

    Investigating complaints related to environmental quality issues like airborne and/or surface mold, chemicals, and particulate matter. 

  • Heat Stress Assessments

    Investigating complaints and/or risk related to heat-related stress hazards in and around the work area. 

  • Peer Reviews

    Oversight of remediation planning, implementation, and communication of environmental and occupational safety and health processes and procedures.

  • Corrective Action Planning

    Data-driven corrective action planning before and during (e.g., for updates in the protocol) to ensure safe and effective remediation is completed.
