Industrial Hygiene

Industrial Hygiene. You are an industrial hygienist for a major pharmaceutical company. The CEO has contacted you regarding a new product line that will be produced in your facility. The new product involves the handling and use of an engineered nanomaterial. To date, your company?s health and safety program has not had to address any safety concerns associated with handling and use of these materials. Using the NIOSH document from the required reading as your authoritative source (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2014-102/pdfs/2014-102.pdf), prepare a three- to five-page ?white paper? that provides an overview of engineered materials and includes a discussion of the following: ? ÿbackground and industry overview of engineered nanomaterials, ? ÿexposure control strategies, ? ÿnanotechnology processes and engineering controls, ? ÿhazard control evaluations, ? ÿhealth hazards associated with exposures, and ? ÿconclusions and recommendations. As you prepare your paper, keep in mind that this should be a high-level overview that is understandable to all employees in the organization: from upper management to production workers. All sources used, including your textbook, should be cited and referenced properly using APA format.
