From Peter Baldwin, Senior Occupational Hygienist, HSE, current Chair of WHWB UK

"WHWB-UK is a group of health and safety professionals to address occupational health issues around the world and is part of the wider WHWB organisation.  Most of the world's workers do not have access to occupational health expertise. They lack the resources, knowledge and technology to identify and control workplace exposure to disease-causing hazardous substances.

According to the World Health Organization, almost 2/3 of the world's 3 billion workers are employed in unhealthy and unsafe working conditions. The International Labour Organization, the United Nations tripartite agency responsible for drawing up and overseeing international labour standards, reports nearly 2 million deaths each year from occupational disease

WHWB UK aims to provide develop workers both technically and through support to help them to improve health conditions in their workplaces in developing countries to integrate occupational health into their operations around the globe. WHWB has developed projects to reduce ill health including a silica learning tool, and mentoring.

We welcome your interest in WHWB-UK and hope that you support us to improve occupational health throughout the world."
