iOH The Ass'n of Health & Wellbeing Professionals

Who we are

iOH, the Association of Occupational Health and Wellbeing Professionals (iOH) is a network that was set up in 1992 to provide a network of support for practitioners and promote evidence-based practice.

Members of iOH are health professionals who have a post-registration qualification in the fields of occupational health, safety, hygiene or ergonomics or are students currently studying.

What We Do

We are a diverse group of health professionals, informing and supporting employers to improve the working environment and the health and well-being of workers so that they can do their jobs efficiently and effectively.

We improve workability through individual assessment signposting and support, ergonomic assessment and recommendations, health surveillance for workplace hazards and health monitoring for conditions known to affect or be affected by work.

iOH members work with all employers and Private Practices offering a range of services depending on the sector size. They improve the health, safety, comfort and performance of the working population by preventing and reducing occupational disease and accidents.

The advice arising from Occupational Health activities enables employers to address sickness absence and presenteeism by considering reasonable adjustments, in line with the Equality Act, to enable those with long-term conditions and disabilities to work productively.

By tackling problems early on the likelihood of them becoming long-lasting is reduced. This improves the health and well-being of the working population and results in cost savings for companies.
