In addition, OHAO schedules an annual vendor exhibition of equipment and related services to ensure members are fully aware of latest developments.
The OHAO newsletter The OH Forum, mailed quarterly to all members, contains current information on occupational hygiene issues along with a list of workshops, seminars, conferences, and Association activities.

OHAO also promotes occupational hygiene through its awards programs.
Subject Matter Expert Volunteers
From time-to-time, the OHAO may be requested to comment on proposed standards and regulatory changes that quite often have a very short response time. To better prepare the OHAO to make scientifically valid and measured responses, the Board of Directors would like to develop a list of subject matter experts that it could draw from to assist in the preparation of submissions on behalf of the OHAO.
If you have formal education and/or extensive experience that may contribute to a position paper on an occupational hygiene issue, please forward your name, area of expertise and most current contact information to the OHAO office..
