Welcome Letter

Dear Prospective Student:

Thank you for your interest in the Industrial Hygiene program. At TSTC Marshall, Industrial Hygiene is one of the programs within the Enterprise Systems Division that includes Environmental, Health, Safety and Quality (EHSQ). Environmental health and safety personnel work in industry to assure worker safety and environmental protection.

The Industrial Hygiene specialization concentrates on work related illnesses and environmental protection. You will learn to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control environmental health hazards in the workplace. This specialization teaches you how to do air, soil and water sampling, how to read and interpret regulations from Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ) along with reading and interpreting toxicological information. Industrial hygiene is also involved in ergonomics, noise and radiation control.

Our programs offer hands-on training for the techniques used in safety compliance, such as air, soil and water sampling, respirator fit testing, audiometric testing, fall protection, emergency spill clean up procedures along with many other hands-on techniques. You will learn computer skills that are needed in the Industrial Hygiene (IH) industry such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel and compliance spread sheets and compliance e-forms. The training you receive at TSTC will provide you with an up-to-date education in worker safety.

If you have questions or would like to tour the department, or the campus please contact us. We would be happy to schedule a personalized tour and we welcome the opportunity to talk with you. I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,
Wayne Dillon
