International Commission On Occupational Health - ICOH Scientific Committees

ICOH Scientific Committees

ICOH has 35 Scientific Committees and one Network. They cover a broad scope of challenges and problems in work life, including traditional risks of occupational injuries and diseases, and the risks of “new work life”. The Scientific Committees focus specifically on the areas of competence and promote and carry out research in their respective fields. Most of these committees have regular symposia, scientific monographs and review the abstracts submitted to the International Congresses.
