Industrial hygiene has been defined as… “The science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace, which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being or significant discomfort among workers or the citizens of the community.” Quite a mouthful. So what does that all mean? And what does an Industrial Hygienist actually do?
MARCOM’s new course, “Introduction to Industrial Hygiene”, discusses how Industrial Hygienist’s look at the work environment, identify problems that could affect workers’ safety and health, and find ways to eliminate or alleviate those problems.
Topics covered in the course include:
• Worksite Analysis
• Air Contaminants
• Chemical and Biological Hazards
• Physical Hazards… Noise and Vibrations
• Physical Hazards… Light, Temperature, Heat and Radiation
• Ergonomic Hazards
• …and more.
Like all MARCOM courses, “Introduction to Industrial Hygiene” uses a powerful combination of full-motion, high-definition video filmed in real world locations, along with audio, text, and colorful graphics to provide the most cost-effective training available today.
"Introduction to Industrial Hygiene" is part of the Industrial Series and is currently available in English and Spanish.
The “Introduction to Industrial Hygiene” MicroLearning curriculum includes the following 3-5 minute courses:
- "Worksite Analysis"
- "Air Contaminants"
- "Chemical and Biological Hazards"
- "Physical Hazards... Noise and Vibrations"
- "Physical Hazards... Light, Temperature, Heat and Radiation"

Adaptive Learning
“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.
These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.
MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.
Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
