Report suspected logo misuse

The corporate logo represents the British Occupational Hygiene Society itself. External organisations and individuals should not use it unless BOHS has specifically given permission.

Being a BOHS member, employing BOHS members or holding a BOHS qualification does not give an organisation permission to use the corporate logo. It also doesn’t mean the organisation is approved or endorsed by BOHS.

The Register of Occupational Hygiene Professionals is run by the Faculty of Occupational Hygiene (FOH) and accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA).

Professionals on the Register can display the Quality Mark while they remain registered. It applies to the individual only. It must not be used to suggest that their employer or organisation is accredited by the PSA or approved by BOHS.

Only organisations that currently hold Approved Training Partner status can use this logo. It must not suggest that BOHS approves or endorses any other courses, products or services the organisation offers.

If the status ends, the logo has to come down from the website, marketing materials and any other communications.

Find an Approved Training Partner

Organisations currently registered in the BOHS Directory of Occupational Hygiene Services can use the Directory logo. It shows current registration and nothing more. It doesn't mean BOHS endorses everything the organisation does.

An organisation that is no longer registered must remove the logo from its website, stationery and promotional materials.

Organisations formally partnering with BOHS on an event can use the Event Partner logo once BOHS has given permission.

It covers that event and the agreed period only, and must not suggest a wider or ongoing partnership.

Breathe Freely is the BOHS campaign to prevent occupational lung disease. Organisations with an authorised relationship with the campaign can use the Breathe Freely logo, following the guidance we give them.

Using the Breathe Freely logo does not give permission to use the BOHS corporate logo.

Why we control logo use

BOHS logos represent the British Occupational Hygiene Society, our professional standards and our role as the Chartered Society for Worker Health Protection.

Each logo identifies a specific relationship with BOHS: professional registration, approved training, a recognised occupational hygiene service or a partnership. We control how they are used so that employers, workers and the public can be confident about what a BOHS logo tells them.

Using BOHS logos correctly

A BOHS logo represents only the status, approval or relationship it was issued for. It must not be used to suggest wider approval or endorsement.

If you’re authorised to use a BOHS logo:

  • use only the current artwork supplied or approved by BOHS
  • don’t alter, recreate, stretch, distort or recolour it
  • only use it for the purpose you were given permission for
  • stop using it when your registration, approval, partnership or other entitlement ends

What counts as misuse?

Unauthorised use Misleading claims What we do next

A BOHS logo may be used without authorisation if someone:

  • Uses a logo without permission or entitlement
  • Uses a logo for something other than what it was issued for
  • Keeps using a logo after their entitlement has ended
  • Changes or misrepresents a logo

A claim may be misleading if someone:

  • Claims a BOHS status, approval, accreditation or association they don’t have
  • Suggests an organisation is BOHS approved because it employs a BOHS member, registrant or qualification holder
  • Implies that one approval or partnership means wider BOHS endorsement

If we find misuse, we may contact the person or organisation to check whether it’s authorised and, where needed, ask them to remove or correct it.

We take the misuse of our name and logos seriously and may take further action if it isn’t resolved.
