👉 This is exactly what Industrial Hygiene Assessment measures

2. Vendor / Supplier Code of Conduct

Levi’s suppliers must comply with:

• Occupational health & safety requirements

Industrial hygiene studies are often used as evidence for compliance audits.

3. Audit Requirements (Very Important)

👉 Industrial Hygiene reports support these audits.
