People tend to have good instincts for detecting danger. After all, we have evolved to constantly assess our surroundings and navigate through uncertainty. Without this evolutionary advantage, we wouldnt be here. Many times, a bad feeling is enough to prompt immediate action and keep us safe. But not everything looks like a saber-toothed tiger. What if you couldnt notice the danger easily? In that case, you would need someone who has the knowledge and skills to see what you cant. When it comes to occupational health hazards, registered occupational hygienists are that someone. Theyre the only people we trust to assess our clients workplaces and wed like to tell you why theyre worth their weight in gold. http://ht.ly/2HIZ30lrP4P
