The Industrial Environment: Itā€™s Evaluation & Control
1973
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication Number 74-177

Industrial hygiene is the science of protecting manā€™s health through the control of the work environment. Man and his environment are indivisible. They react upon each other in the form of a ā€œgive-and-takeā€ relationship. Frequently it is assumed that man moves through his environment and molds it to his desires; however, it may be more productive to think of the environment and man as moving through and changing each other simultaneously.
