When used independently of each other, the words industrial and hygiene could be construed as polar opposites. Industrial conjures up pictures of manufacturing plants, steel mills, production lines, and generally rough environments. Hygiene, on the other hand, is defined as a science of the establishment and maintenance of health.
Not often is the rough-and-tumble, industrial world of heavy manufacturing or production confused with hygiene. Unless of course you use the words together; in tandem, industrial hygiene has its very own independent meaning. Perhaps one of the finer definitions of industrial hygiene is, as scribed by Henry F. Smyth Jr., Ph.D., in his article published in the American Journal of Public Health (Vol.56, No.7, July, 1966, p
1120-1127): “Industrial Hygiene is that science and art devoted to the recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses, arising in or from the work place, which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers or among the citizens of the community.”
