Summary

Industrial hygiene monitoring is used more extensively by industry industrial hygienists than by counterparts in labour and government. Monitoring is used in all phases of an industrial hygiene programme (recognition, evaluation and control) and plays an important part in the development of new sampling and analytical procedures. Very little information is presently available regarding formal. logical approaches to monitoring. However, the approach used by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in recently issued occupational health standards can, with minor modifications, be adopted for use by industry as a formal approach to all industrial hygiene monitoring.
