This chapter is intended to

 describe the principles and practice of product stewardship (PS) (also referred to as product safety) to give the reader a working understanding of this growing professional opportunity.

 outline the typical qualifications and capabilities of a professional industrial hygienist (IH) and compare them with the competency requirements for the practice of PS.

 illustrate how IHs are likely to be very well‐suited to transition into the practice of PS.

Acquiring a working knowledge of PS can benefit the practicing IH in at least two important ways:

 Career Enrichment. The IH who knows the issues and solutions in areas of PS becomes more expert in several facets of IH practice and will find opportunities outside the “traditional” areas of IH practice.

 Career Opportunities. The current and expected growth of PS will offer alternate practices for many who choose to develop them.
