Congratulations to James Beechey on achieving the Diploma of Professional Competence in Occupational Hygiene 👏

The DipOH is one of the most demanding BOHS qualifications, recognising a high level of professional competence, technical expertise and judgement in occupational hygiene. It demonstrates the ability to tackle complex exposure scenarios, critically interpret data, and make informed, defensible decisions to protect workers’ health across a wide range of settings.

As BOHS delivers its 2026 - 2030 Strategy, developing competent professionals remains a vital part of our vision for a future where prevention is at the heart of protecting worker health. Qualifications such as the DipOH help build the expertise needed to turn that vision into reality.

Well done, James, on this fantastic achievement!
