Volunteer with us
Volunteering is an important aspect of the Society. We offer an array of roles that support the running of the Society and strive towards improving the profession. Volunteers can use these opportunities to support their own professional development by learning new skills and gaining new knowledge, whilst at the same time knowing that they are contributing to the Society's mission to ensure that work is not a cause of acute or chronic ill-health.
Thank you
We wish to thank all of our volunteers who give their time and expertise to support the running of the Society, improvement of the Occupational Hygiene profession, and support the mission to ensure that work is not a cause of acute or chronic ill-health.
"I gain so much satisfaction from being able to support BOHS. In return I have been able to grow my network, speak to industry leads in key areas, develop my skills at presenting and coordinating, and take away a sense of pride that I have been able to strengthen the OH profession."
