What is British Occupational Hygiene Society mean? The British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) is a Chartered, science-based, charitable body that provides information, expertise and guidance in the recognition, evaluation, control and management of workplace health risks. As of 2020, its chief executive officer is Kevin Bampton.
BOHS was founded in 1953: it is a learned society, publishing the world-renowned, scientific, peer-reviewed journal, Annals of Work Exposures and Health, and the only professional society representing qualified occupational hygienists in the UK. The Society supports, develops and connects its members with resources, guidance, events and training.
Its Faculty of Occupational Hygiene sets professional standards and is the only UK examining board for qualifications in occupational hygiene that are recognised internationally.
BOHS is the only occupational hygiene organisation to be awarded a Royal Charter: this was granted in April 2013 in recognition of BOHS’ unique and pre-eminent role as the leading authority in occupational disease prevention.
In 2017, BOHS launched a new professionals body for people who work in asbestos assessment and management. The Faculty of Asbestos Assessment and Management (FAAM) is targeted at individuals working as consultants, asbestos managers, surveyors, analysts and project managers.
