It was established as an international training scheme and qualifications framework which provides high-quality training materials in several languages and the infrastructure for low-cost training courses, as part of an internationally recognised programme of study.
We develop training materials and make them readily available for use by students and training providers. We also promote an international qualifications framework so that all hygienists are trained to a consistent, high standard, recognized in all participating countries.
OHTA operates with a few basic ground rules. Our aims are to be:
- Inclusive
- Straightforward
- Transparent
- Accessible
- Engaging
We believe that adhering to these operating principles will help to grow the global occupational hygiene community and encourage consensus standards.
