IOHA Membership

Benefits of Membership

IOHA is an 'Association of national associations' and therefore provides more benefits and access, than a national association can provide, for example:

1. Access to a much wider range of knowledge - with some 27 national associations, the ability exists promote the exchange of information about occupational hygiene

2. Exchange of information about occupational hygiene among organisations and individuals internationally, e.g. through the organising of international conferences and networking through websites;

3. Linkages to other international bodies such as ILO, WHO, ICOH, and IEA which allows the collaboration and cooperation with other societies, national and international organisations

4. It is the international voice of the occupational hygiene profession through its recognition as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) by the ILO (International Labour Organisation) and WHO (World Health Organisation).

5. International recognition of professional (certification) qualifications through the IOHA National Accreditation Recognition (NAR) Scheme.
