Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma in Industrial Hygiene (PGDIH/EDIH)

Industrial hygiene is the science of guarding the health and safety of people at their workplace. The processes of industrial hygiene involve identifying, analysing, and controlling workplace conditions and hazards to prevent dangerous and harmful work environments. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of industrial hygiene and made it more important than ever. Especially as businesses reopen and people re-enter the workforce, industrial hygienists are needed to help, identify and mitigate risks and hazards. Even before the pandemic, however, industrial hygienists had been applying their scientific skills to promote health standards and help to a safer global workforce. For those interested in this field, it is important to understand exactly what industrial hygiene is and how an advanced course such as IGMPI’s Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma in Industry Hygiene can contribute to develop professionals for impactful careers in the wake of COVID-19 and beyond.
