Position Papers and Official Responses

consultationsBOHS takes an active part in national debates on issues affecting workplace health, to ensure that occupational hygiene principles are understood and valued, and incorporated in new policy and legislation.  This includes responding to relevent HSE and other governmental consultations, and developing positions on important topics and policies.  Our members have the opportunity to debate and contribute to draft positions and responses before they are published.  Once finalised, we publish them here.
