The BOHS was formed in 1953 and is by far the biggest hygiene society in Europe. It is a founding member of the International Occupational Hygiene Association (IOHA) which provides an international voice for the occupational hygiene profession. The BOHS plays a vital role in developing and maintaining the professional standards of hygienists, and is recognised internationally as a major professional examination and qualification body.
The BOHS work closely with regulators and practitioners to ensure that the syllabi and examinations are up-to-date and relevant. Thirteen of the BOHS qualifications are currently listed in HSE guidance as being the industrystandard for their particular subject. The creation of a syllabus and examination process for any subject is complex and involves many stages to ensure the quality and integrity of the system. The BOHS has strong alliances with other health and safety organisations, the HSE, trade unions and business, all working towards common aims.
The BOHS examinations system has been in existence for many years. It is subject to a continuous review process to ensure the maintenance and improvement of all professional qualifications which have been well regarded in the occupational hygiene field since their introduction in May 1969 with over 20,000 successfulcandidates to date.
