About Us
The Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists was established in 1980 and is the peak organisation representing professionals working in occupational hygiene in Australia. Membership of AIOH is open to both professional occupational hygienists and to those with an interest in worker health protection and a healthier work environment. It is the largest organisation representing occupational hygienists with over 1000 members.
The AIOH is an inaugural member of the International Occupational Hygiene Association (IOHA).
Our vision
Our vision is for a healthy workplace.
Our mission
Our mission, in working toward the achievement of this vision, is to:
-
Raise the profile of the profession of occupational hygiene;
-
Influence government and industry to create healthy workplaces; and
-
Improve the practice of occupational hygiene, and the knowledge, competence and standing of its practitioners.
Strategic Plan
This strategic plan has been developed by the AIOH Council to assist the Institute to achieve its strategic goals, and to assist the council to assess its performance in relation to these goals. It is the primary planning document of the governing Council.
The plan provides a clear Vision and Mission for the Institute, and identifies key areas of focus (Key Result Areas) in which work is conducted toward achieving that Vision and Mission.
The environment and market scans in the appendices provide background and context for the plan.
The plan is a five year plan but is reviewed and refreshed by the governing Council on an annual basis.
Each year, the Council approves an annual business plan, which is aligned to this strategic plan, and provides detail of the annual program of work toward strategic goals.
