IH Toolbox brings industrial hygiene fieldwork, exposure assessment, professional calculators, reference data, and sample management together in one practical app—now with a companion web app for reviewing and reporting on a bigger screen. Built for industrial hygienists, occupational health professionals, EHS teams, safety practitioners, consultants, and students, IH Toolbox helps you move from an initial field assessment to an organized sampling record and finished report. PLAN, SAMPLE, AND REPORT Organize your work by project and site. Build sampling plans, run samples in the field, record calibration information, track laboratory status, assess exposure, and generate clear survey reports. - Manage air, noise, wipe, and bulk samples - Record pumps and instruments by make, model, and serial number - Capture pre- and post-sample calibration data - Track active runs, pauses, elapsed time, and sample volume - Import results from laboratory CSV files - Attach photos, lab reports, and supporting evidence - Compare results with selected occupational exposure limits - Apply Brief & Scala or OSHA extended-shift adjustments - Document unsampled time and calculation assumptions - Export complete exposure survey reports - Share and import portable project files NEW: IH TOOLBOX ON THE WEB With Pro, open ihtoolbox.fouledanchorsafety.com on any computer and sign in with the Apple Account you use for iCloud. - Review projects, samples, lab results, and exposure assessments - See percent of limit and AIHA exposure category at a glance - Print survey reports straight from your browser - Export sampling data to CSV The web app is view-only and uses the same formulas as the app for duration, air volume, concentration, and validity warnings. Your records travel between your browser and your private iCloud—nothing is stored on our servers. SEARCH EXPOSURE LIMITS Quickly search occupational exposure limit information by chemical name or CAS number. Compare available limits from multiple countries and regulatory or professional sources without searching through separate publications. MEASURE IN THE FIELD Use your iPhone or iPad for convenient field-screening measurements and supporting observations, including tools for: - Sound levels and noise contours - Heat and cold stress - Light levels - Air movement and pressure differential - Vibration - UV conditions Device-based readings are clearly identified as field-screening data and are not represented as calibrated compliance measurements. CALCULATE WITH CONFIDENCE - Air sampling and sample-volume planning - Mixed-exposure calculations - Ventilation and air-change calculations - Confined-space calculations - Respiratory protection guidance - Fall-clearance and lifting calculations - PPM and mg/m³ conversions - Scientific and general unit conversions - Chemical storage and spill-volume tools REFERENCE AND STUDY Keep practical occupational health and safety references close at hand, including chemical information, respiratory protection guidance, checklists, and preparation tools for CIH and CSP examinations. PRO Pro adds advanced record-keeping and reporting, international reference data, iCloud sync, IH Toolbox on the Web, and exam preparation. Built by a retired US Navy Industrial Hygiene Officer, CIH and CSP. IH Toolbox supports professional judgment but does not replace calibrated instruments, laboratory analysis, applicable regulations, or a qualified safety professional.
