Company information	BOHS is the UK's professional body for Occupational Hygienists and the Examining Board for qualifications in occupational hygiene and related subjects. Occupational hygiene is NOT about washing your hands properly at work! It's about controlling health hazards in the workplace, such as those caused by chemicals [dust, mist, fume, gas, vapour], fibres [asbestos, man-made fibres], noise, heat, light or radiation, viruses or bacteria [eg. Legionella]. We are primarily a membership organisation, but services for non-members include conferences, workshops and seminars; a free Directory of Occupational Hygiene Consultants; other publications and guidance, including web-based information. Our modular and practical examinations and qualifications cover a broad range of occupational health and hygiene subjects, such as Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV), Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), Legionella, Noise & Vibration, Ergonomics, Thermal & Non-Ionising Radiation, COSHH, Dermal Exposure, and all areas of Asbestos surveying and analysing.
