A 2015 Harvard School of Public Health article called industrial hygienists the “guardians of workplace safety.” With their abilities to anticipate, prevent, identify, and mitigate health and safety hazards, SAIF’s certified industrial hygienists live up to that description. As our new certified industrial hygienist, you will be a part of a team that identifies, evaluates, and controls harmful exposures to help policyholders improve the safety, health, and well-being of their employees. Everything we do centers around preventing occupational diseases. You’ll need skills in communication, relationship-building, and mentoring. You’ll also need to be action-oriented, persuasive, adaptable to different situations, focused on customers, and able to manage complexity. The ideal candidate will have at least five years of experience in industrial hygiene consulting. If you’d like to join our team as a workplace safety and health guardian, apply today.
