Based on the aforementioned elements, it is clear that implementing PS takes a cross‐functional approach and affects many departments or functions in a company. This requires significant effort in a company to maintain an understanding of each function's role and to assure each function is performing the activities needed. Furthermore, the PS function itself can be comprised of several distinct disciplines including Toxicology, Occupational Medicine, Industrial Hygiene, and Regulatory Affairs. If specialists in these fields are not within the PS function of an organization, the different forms of expertise will need to be available, or those doing PS will need to develop a working proficiency in the mentioned areas. This is a challenge Occupational Hygienists are familiar with. It is quite normal for a hygienist to bring together engineering, management, hourly, and union personnel to solve a problem or implement a solution. These skills and experience translate well to working in a PS program.
