ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces major organizations with activities associated with occupational safety and health at the international level. The International Occupational Hygiene Association (IOHA) is a global community of occupational hygienists and professionals who are dedicated to the discipline and application of the inherent principles used to protect workers from hazards to reduce injury and illness. The IOHA National Accreditation Recognition Committee reviews and approves occupational hygiene credentialing and certification schemes and designates those systems with comparable standards. Workplace Health Without Borders was founded in 2011 as a not-for-profit organization to address occupational health and safety issues in the developing world. The Occupational Hygiene Training Association (OHTA) was formed to promote improved occupational hygiene practice and build professional occupational hygiene capacity throughout the world by developing and providing associated occupational hygiene training materials. Another goal of OHTA is to make access to the materials and associated training courses as easy as possible.
