Industrial Hygiene Virtual Laboratory Multimedia Training Program

The Industrial Hygiene Virtual Laboratory (IHVL)* training program allows novice industrial hygiene students to independently learn many hands-on aspects of industrial hygiene and provides information on real-world industrial hygiene applications and techniques. It is conducive to student concentration on key lesson concepts and it can even be used for web-based course work. IHVL is also suitable for industrial hygienists who want to brush up on theory and technique. The first fully interactive, university tested and validated virtual laboratory in industrial hygiene, IHVL is self-paced and provides for effective learning.

* IHVL was created by Timothy J. Ryan, Ph.D., CIH, CSP, an Assistant Professor of Industrial Hygiene at Ohio University

SKC Industry Sampling Guides

SKC Industry Sampling Guides are industry-specific guides that help safety and health personnel understand the chemical hazards in their work places and the methods to sample for them. Each industry-specific guide contains:

  1. A statement of the problems and contaminants
  2. Sources of further information
  3. The main chemical hazards along with where they typically exist in the industrial process, health effects, and current regulatory standards
  4. Reference to SKC Chemical Fact Files® and other publications

Download the Industry Guide PDFs



Step-By-Step Sampling Guides: by Chemical Hazard

Each guide includes sampling information for specific chemical hazards:


Chemical Fact Files ®

Provide the "how-to" of sampling for specific chemicals using NIOSH, OSHA, EPA, or ASTM methods. Each Chemical Fact File includes equipment requirements, sampling parameters, exposure limits, and sampling instructions.
