The Swiss Society for Occupational Hygiene (SSOH) promotes the field of occupational hygiene by contributing to the expansion of knowledge and professional practice at a high level, and by encouraging the exchange of experience and knowledge among its members and with other specialists and individuals who deal with issues of health and safety at work.
Occupational hygiene is the scientific discipline that evaluates, assesses, monitors, identifies, predicts and communicates risks to health in the work environment with the aim of protecting the health and well-being of workers and promoting the overall safety of the public.
Occupational hygienists work closely with other occupational safety and health specialists.
