Occupational hygiene focuses:
BOHS is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation that is managed by a board of directors, known as the Board.
The Faculty of Occupational Hygiene is run by the Faculty Committee and reports to the Board through its Registrar.
The Society's Head Office, based in Derby, is led by a Chief Executive, with a senior management team responsible for finance and operations, membership services, conferences and events, publications, examinations management, marketing and communications, and overall administrative services.
It also has a range of committees, chaired by members and with input from other volunteers and staff; these committees, alongside a team of regional organisers (also volunteers from the membership) provide technical, strategic and project-by-project input to the Society's various initiatives and on-going activities.
The Faculty of Occupational Hygiene is the professional arm of BOHS. Membership is restricted to BOHS members with specific qualifications in occupational hygiene and related subjects.
As the examining board for the profession, the Faculty administers a suite of examinations and awards qualifications in occupational hygiene and allied subjects, and provides a qualifications’ verification service.
The Faculty also runs the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Scheme, which is mandatory for all non-retired Faculty members.
It maintains a Directory of Occupational Hygiene Services,5 which is searchable online.
The organisation puts on a conference each year.6
BOHS publishes the Annals of Work Exposures and Health, a peer-reviewed scientific journal (via Oxford University Press).
Additionally, the Society produces Exposure magazine, FAAM News, e-bulletins, guidance and position statements.
