Despite differences in demography and geography, industrial base and environment, the UK and Australia share a common heritage in terms of Occupational Hygiene. The presentation will explore the differences in how both jurisdictions address the policy, regulation and practice of occupational hygiene and seeks to draw conclusions about how this can inform better workplace health outcomes.
