HSE People - Health and Safety Community

For anyone interested in the "Health" part of Health & Safety the Occupational Hygiene Training Association have established a set of International Occupational Hygiene Modules that leads to
the International Occupational Hygiene Certificate.

The subjects covered include:

• Basic Principles of Occupational Hygiene
• Measurement of Hazardous Substances (core)
• Assessment and Control of the Thermal Environment
• Assessment and Control of Noise (core)
• Assessment and Control of Asbestos
• Control of Hazardous Substances (core)
• Ergonomics
• Health Effects of Hazardous Substances (core)

To achieve the Certificate level qualification six modules must be completed including all those marked "core" which are mandatory. Each module course lasts one week.
The modules may also be taken separately which may be useful for Safety Advisors requiring more detailed knowledge in one or two particular areas.
