Continuing education for occupational hygienists
The list is not exhaustive. The SGAH does not assume any responsibility for the contents. A maximum of 16 points per year can be obtained at continuing education events that are recognized by another professional association (SSOM, SGAS, etc.) and deal with a topic related to occupational hygiene. For training that is specific to occupational hygiene, the offers of sister societies such as BOHS etc. are particularly recommended (possibly with a reference to the International Partner Program) (see e.g. International Partner Membership BOHS and further links below).

Education & Exchange Days
The training and experience exchange day (ECHEX) takes place annually – usually in autumn. The members of the SSOH meet to share their findings from new studies, professional experiences or new developments from other partner organisations.
General Assembly
The General Assembly usually takes place in spring. SSOH members visit a workplace or company in the morning, followed by lunch and the General Assembly in the afternoon. At the General Assembly, votes are usually taken on topics such as board members, financial matters, future training courses and other issues.
Continuing Education and Professional Development Courses (PDC) of SSOH
The PDC group (professional development courses) organises the training courses. With the aim of offering SSOH members further training opportunities recognised by the certification body, the PDC group endeavours to organise at least one course per year on current and relevant occupational hygiene topics.
In addition to the PDCs, this working group is also involved in the organisation of the General Assembly and the ECHEX days.
