Definition of occupational hygiene
Anticipation, recognition, evaluation and
control of chemical, physical and
biological agents at the workplace
6
Objectives of IOHA
• Promote and develop occupational hygiene
• Promote exchange of information
• Encourage development of occupational hygiene
• Maintain and promote ethical standard
7
I O H A
• Organisation of organisations
• 25 member organisations
• Over 20 000 occupational hygienists
8
International Occupational Hygiene Association
• 1 board representative per member organisation
• 1 vote per member organisation • Capitation fee - affordable for smaller
organisations• Low fee base = minimal operating surplus
Rely heavily on volunteers – individual and organisational

Control Banding
10
“Control Banding” is a confusing name!
Control Banding
International Chemical Control Toolkit:
ICCT
11
The ICCT
• Hazard ranking
• Risk assessment
• Risk control
12
Concept of the ICCT
• Five hazard classes:
based on 67/548/EEG and 1999/45/EG (future: based on GHS from the United Nations)
• Five emission classes:
liquids: based on vapour pressure
solids: estimate dustiness on five point scale • Hazard + emission risk• Additional information: amount, time, conditions• Risk assessment and ranking• Control sheets or specialist advice
13
Organisation of the ICCT project
• Co-operation project between WHO, ILO, IOHA and many others
• Co-ordination: International Technical Group (ITG), supported by (IPCS)
• Tasks assigned to ICT members
• Most contact by teleconference (every 6 weeks)
• In WHO 2001 – 2005 and 2006 – 2010 Collaborative Program
14
Dissemination of the ICCT
• Originally: from HSE (GB), for SME’s (“COSHH Essentials”)
• IOHA adapted to medium-sized enterprises in developing countries
• Available on CD ROM• Languages: (e.g.) English, Portuguese, Indonesian,
Chinese• Pilot projects: (e.g.) Indonesia, India, Thailand, South-
Africa
15
Perspectives and goal of the workshop
• Toolkit concept is applicable to other occupational hazardsExample: Ergonomics Toolkit
Goal of the workshop
• To find out if developing an injury prevention management toolkit is possible and desirable
• If yes: who could initiate this
