INDUSTRIAL HYGIENEIntroduction to industrial hygiene: health and safety at work

The increased awareness of workers and employers to safety and health in the workplace and the constant need to put in place effective preventive measures for the protection of workers, has encouraged a more extensive application of the provisions of Legislative Decree 81/08 by companies. This implementation goes hand in hand with the certification requirements of medium to large companies in accordance with ISO 45001, which requires the user to implement a robust prevention and protection system that is fully compliant with the applicable legal requirements.

Industrial hygiene is part of this prevention and protection framework through the assessment of risks in the workplace, both physical and chemical and microbiological.
The mandatory nature of these assessments is borne by the Employer in application of Article 17 of the Civil Code.
