Recognizing Occupational Health Professionals
Each year, AOHP dedicates April to recognize the important contributions of occupational health professional. Not only do occupational health professionals take responsibility for employee care, but they have a responsibility to advocate for organizational policies that help to recognize occupational hazards and advocate for new and safe technologies. AOHP raises awareness of these imperative contributions each spring.

AOHP Poster
As a benefit of membership, you will receive a poster to showcase your work, to demonstrate the various roles for which you have responsibility, to acknowledge your role in caring for healthcare workers, the tasks you perform day-to-day, and a special initiative you champion to protect the healthcare workers in your facility.  AOHP's goals in producing this poster are to recognize your efforts and to make your organizational leadership and other staff aware of the good work performed by occupational health professionals to keep healthcare workers healthy. 

We need your help to accomplish this goal. Please send photos of you or your co-workers performing vital daily tasks. Submit quality photos (high resolution jpg or tif files with a minimum 300 dpi) to AOHP Headquarters by March 1, 2019. 

For each individual photo, the member who submitted it will be entered into a drawing. Four winners will each be awarded $25. A committee will select the photos to be featured in the annual Occupational Health Poster that will be distributed to all members. Please submit your photos to info@aohp.org, and be sure to include a caption.

NAOSH 2018: May 6-12

North American Occupational Safety and Health Week, or NAOSH Week, occurs every year during the first full week of May. Occupational Safety and Health Professional Day (OSHP Day) falls on the Wednesday of that week.

The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) urges everyone to get involved in NAOSH Week in an effort to better educate the public about the positive benefits a safe workplace provides not only for workers, but for their families, friends, businesses, their local communities and the global community.
