300.

INCIDENT ENERGY. The amount of energy impressed on a surface, a certain distance

from the source, generated during an electrical arc event. One of the units used to

measure incident energy is calories per centimeter squared (cal/cm2). [NFPA 70E]

INDIVIDUAL. Any human being. [10 CFR 835.2]

301.

302.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE. The science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition,

evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the

workplace that may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant

discomfort and inefficiency among workers. [DOE O 5480.10A (Draft)]

303.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE SURVEY. An evaluation of workplaces, operations, and

controls to identify and determine the existence and extent of hazardous or potentially

hazardous exposures and to identify exposed and potentially exposed employees. At a

minimum, the survey consists of an inspection of the workplace to determine

conformance with Department of Energy-prescribed industrial hygiene requirements,

observation of the work operation, and appropriate monitoring as required by this Order

to measure the hazardous or potentially hazardous exposure of employees. [DOE O

5480.10A (Draft)]

304.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST. A person having a college or university degree or degrees

in engineering, chemistry, physics, or medicine or related biological sciences who, by

virtue of special studies and training, has acquired competence in Industrial Hygiene.

Such special studies and training must have been sufficient in all of the above cognate

sciences to provide the abilities:

A. to recognize the environmental factors and stresses associated with work and work

operations and to understand their effect on people and their well being;

B. to evaluate, on the basis of experience and with the aid of quantitative measurement

techniques, the magnitude of these stresses in terms of ability to impair an

individual's health and well being; and

C. to prescribe methods to eliminate, control or reduce such stresses when necessary to

alleviate their effects. (See the Bulletin of the American Board of Industrial Hygiene

for additional details.)
