The aims of the Society are:
| i. |
to develop effective occupational health practice; |
| ii. |
to encourage awareness by individuals, organisations and other bodies, of the role of occupational health; |
| iii. |
to provide a forum for professional contact between persons interested in and working in occupational health; |
| iv. |
to express an independent, professional viewpoint on all aspects of occupational health considered desirable in the public interest; |
| v. |
to seek the improvement of an extension of the existing legislation for the promotion of safety and health at work in order to ensure uniform principles are applied in all occupational activities. |
