Occupational hygiene is the science of detecting and managing work-related health hazards. To be effective, the occupational hygienist is required to co-work with other specialists in the field of work and health, e.g. occupational physicians, toxicologists and safety engineers. Common to all hygienists is a strategic, pragmatic and goal-oriented approach in evaluation and intervention to manage health risks at work.
We are calling on practitioners to join an interdisciplinary team to study work and health, share skills and expertise and form a life-long partnership and network in the evaluation and prevention of occupational health hazards and work-related health problems.
