Conference announcement

Invitation

Dear colleagues, participants, and occupational hygiene professionals,

On behalf of the Occupational Hygiene Society of Ireland (OHSI) and the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS), we are pleased to invite you to actively participate in the

International Occupational Hygiene Association (IOHA) 2024 annual conference

The IOHA 2024 conference will take place from the 9^th to the 13^th of June 2024 in Dublin, Ireland! The conference theme is ‘Protecting workers from health hazards: Advancing in this changing world’.

IOHA 2024 conference aims to bring together occupational hygienists, public bodies and policy-makers, academic scientists and researchers from all relevant associated sectors and fields to connect and exchange their ideas and experiences to promote occupational hygiene and worker health protection.

Dr Alison Connolly, the Chair of the Scientific Committee

I am delighted to Chair the Scientific Committee for IOHA 2024, and the whole committee is already working tirelessly to arrange a brilliant programme for the conference, including excellent keynote speakers, which I look forward to announcing over the coming months, and an engaging scientific programme. I encourage industry professionals with relevant case studies, scientists with novel research findings and policymakers with relevant updates on policies/guidance and legislation to consider submitting an abstract for the conference. Additionally, there are so many ways to get involved, including oral and poster presentations, workshops, or delivering a professional development course (PDC).  I look forward to meeting everyone on the ‘Emerald Isle’.

Nuala Flavin, Chair of the IOHA Organising Committee and Former President of the Occupational Hygiene Society of Ireland (OHSI).

It is a great privilege to chair the Conference Organising Committee for IOHA Dublin 2024. We plan to have an outstanding conference programme with excellent scientific content together with practical case studies from working, experienced occupational hygienists and real-workplace thematic workshops. I strongly recommend that you submit an abstract that fits into any of these groupings.

This conference is in Ireland so it would not be complete without many opportunities for networking with your global peers, including several social occasions. I look forward to seeing you in Ireland.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dublin!

Earlier this month, the World Health Organisation announced the establishment a new global indicator for worker health, ”the mortality rate per 100 000 working-age population from diseases attributable to selected occupational risk factors”.  This is an indicator for sustainable development goals (SDGs) 3 and 8 to which UN members have already committed. 

This new global indicator is calculated in the WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-related Burden of Disease and Injury, 2000-2016: Global Monitoring Report,published in 2021 and signed by both Dr Tedros and Mr Guy Ryder, the respective DG’s of the WHO and the ILO. These data comprise estimates of the burden attributable to 21 pairs of occupational risk factor and disease for 183 countries – the WHO and ILO have systematically reviewed and judged these exposure-disease pairings and judged them to be sufficient to produce official estimates that fulfil the strict statistical requirements for both UN organisations. All diseases covered are non-communicable and include 17 malignant neoplasms, two respiratory diseases and two cardiovascular diseases. A database is available from which you can download data on the exposure-disease pairs to excel – notes and links are provided below.

IOHA Nyhetsbrev

Under 18 januari till 6 juni 2021 ger Göteborgs Universitet en kurs i Exponeringsbedömning för kemiska, biologiska och fysikaliska hälsorisker på halvfart.

Denna kurs har startats som en reaktion på att Företagshälsovårdens kompetensförsörjning” (Rapport FHV 2019:2) visade att det fanns ett starkt behov av kvalificerade arbetsmiljöingenjörer.

Kursen kommer att ges på halvtid över hela terminen. Det kommer att vara fyra intensiva veckor på campus, måndag lunch till fredag lunch, utspridda under hela terminen och däremellan kommer det att vara hemarbete. På campusveckorna kommer det att vara obligatoriska moment. Ansökan till kursen är öppen från och med 15 september till och med 15 oktober.

Mer information om kursen finns på https://utbildning.gu.se/kurser/kurs_information?courseid=YHY100 samt https://kursplaner.gu.se/pdf/kurs/sv/YHY100.

Myndigheten för arbetsmiljökunskap (MYNAK) har gjort ett reportage om kursen som finns att läsa här.
