2️⃣ Recognition – Identify risks like dust, fumes, noise, heat, chemicals, vibration, and biological agents
3️⃣ Evaluation – Measure exposure and compare with standards (PEL/TLV/REL)
4️⃣ Control – Reduce risk through engineering, administrative measures, and PPE
5️⃣ Monitoring – Conduct regular inspections, exposure checks, and health surveillance
❇️Methods to Maintain Good Industrial Hygiene:
✔ Proper ventilation & dust control systems
