The 2006/2007 edition of its Directory of Consultants is now available free from the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS).

The 2006/2007 edition of its Directory of Consultants is now available free from the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) It lists consultancies able to provide qualified and experienced occupational hygienists and specialist occupational hygiene support services, with coverage throughout the UK

The foreword is by Janet Asherson, Head of Health and Safety at the CBI.

Hard copies can be requested, or it can be downloaded from the Society's website via the 'Publications' section.

Occupational hygiene is concerned with the prevention or control of hazards that can impact on worker health such as exposure to physical, chemical or biological agents, as well as, increasingly, stress and musculo-skeletal disorders.

If organisations don't employ an occupational hygienist, then the person responsible for health and safety may well, at times, need specialist help in these areas.

All contacts listed within this Directory are members of BOHS's Faculty of Occupational Hygiene.

Whilst this can not be taken as an endorsement of an individual by BOHS, it does provide a degree of security, since entry into the Faculty is via professional examinations which, at the lowest grade, demonstrate a minimum of three years practical experience in the comprehensive practice of occupational hygiene.

Individuals are also bound by the Faculty's Code of Ethics and are thereby responsible to their peers for maintaining the highest standards of technical and professional integrity.

Lastly, all Faculty members participate in a CPD scheme designed to maintain a high level of current awareness and knowledge in occupational hygiene.
