The Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Health Training gives HSE, health, and operations professionals a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of occupational health risks, industrial hygiene principles, exposure assessment methods, and the management frameworks needed to protect employee health and build a genuinely health-conscious organisational culture.
Occupational health is the often-overlooked dimension of health and safety. While safety incidents are visible and immediate, health risks develop silently — through exposure to chemicals, dust, noise, vibration, biological agents, and work-related stress — until they become serious, irreversible conditions that affect employees for life.
This course addresses that reality head-on. Delegates develop a thorough understanding of how workplace hazards affect the human body, how to assess and measure exposure, how to identify and manage occupational diseases, and how to implement occupational health monitoring and surveillance programmes. From respiratory ill health and dermatitis to musculoskeletal disorders, occupational toxicology, and the effects of physical agents — every major occupational health domain is covered with clinical and practical depth.
The Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Health Training is built for professionals who want to go beyond safety compliance and develop the genuine occupational health capability to protect their workforce and build a culture where health is treated as a core organisational value.
The Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Health Training is designed to develop comprehensive occupational health and industrial hygiene capability from hazard identification and health risk assessment through to exposure measurement, disease prevention, and occupational health management programme implementation.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
The Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Health Training is designed for HSE, health, and operations professionals who are responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing occupational health risks in industrial, manufacturing, or process environments.
This course is suitable for:
The Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Health Training is delivered through a structured, evidence-based learning approach that combines clinical and technical knowledge with practical workplace application. The course moves progressively from occupational health fundamentals and organ-level health effects through to occupational disease, risk assessment, exposure measurement, and occupational health programme management.
Syndicate sessions are built into multiple days providing group-based problem-solving opportunities on specific topics including asbestos, respiratory ill health, silica, welding controls, and COSHH — ensuring delegates connect theory to real workplace health challenges.

Common questions about our training courses
This course is designed for HSE professionals, occupational health practitioners, industrial hygienists, operations managers, safety officers, and HR professionals who need a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of occupational health risks and the industrial hygiene management frameworks used to control them. It is suitable for both those new to occupational health who need a structured foundation and experienced practitioners looking to deepen and formalise their knowledge.
Day 2 is dedicated to organ structure and function covering in detail how respiratory hazards affect the lungs, how inhaled materials cause occupational disease, how dermal exposure leads to dermatitis and other skin conditions, and how biological and physical agents affect major organs. Delegates develop a clinical understanding of the mechanisms through which workplace exposures cause harm knowledge that directly strengthens their ability to identify and prioritise health risks.
COSHH considerations are addressed within the occupational health risks module covering how to evaluate chemical hazards under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health framework, how to assess the health effects of specific chemical exposures, and how to review and maintain effective controls. The welding syndicate exercise provides a practical, real-world application of COSHH principles to a common high-risk industrial activity.
No medical or scientific qualification is required. The course introduces biological and clinical concepts — including organ health effects, occupational toxicology, and exposure assessment — in an accessible, practically focused way that is designed for HSE and operations professionals rather than clinicians. Delegates from safety, engineering, HR, and environmental backgrounds consistently find the content approachable and directly applicable to their workplace responsibilities.
Day 3 covers the full range of occupational health risks — including occupational diseases and infections, the health effects of chemicals, gases, vapours, and fibres, musculoskeletal disorders, and the health effects of physical agents including noise, vibration, heat, light, pressure, and radiation. Delegates leave with a comprehensive understanding of the occupational health conditions most commonly encountered in industrial environments and the prevention and control strategies applicable to each.
Work organisation, work-related stress, and employee wellbeing are introduced on Day 1 and revisited throughout the course — recognising that psychological health is as important a dimension of occupational health as physical exposure management. Delegates develop an understanding of how work organisation and organisational culture influence health outcomes, and how occupational health programmes must address psychological as well as physical health risks to be genuinely effective.
