INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AWARDS
Occupational Health & Safety is pleased to announce the winners of the fourth annual Industrial Hygiene Awards. This year’s edition features winners across 28 distinct cat- egories, honoring the most outstanding product develop-
ment achievements of health and safety manufacturers. Winners were selected based on which products are considered particularly noteworthy in their ability to improve industrial hygiene.
“This year’s awards enjoyed a broad range of compelling en- tries with some hot competition in some of the categories,” said David Kopf, executive editor and publisher of Occupational Health & Safety. “This was particularly noticeable in categories such as Internet of Things—Connected Devices and Hearing Conserva- tion & Noise Reduction. It just goes to show that the companies providing industrial hygiene products and services are continually working to innovate and improve.
In addition to a digital badge to showcase their achievement, winners receive editorial coverage in the April/May 2024 print issue of Occupational Health & Safety magazine as well as OH&S’s In- dustrial Hygiene Quarterly eNewsletter. They are also included in the special winners’ section on ohsonline.com.
“This program is a great way to showcase those innovations to IH professionals,” Kopf continued. “Bearing that in mind, I want to thank our judges for helping us with this year’s awards program and all the companies who entered.” For more information, visit the 2024 OH&S IH Awards page.
