Advancing quality work and healthy life through ergonomics, hygiene and workplace health expertise.
The Institute of Ergonomics and Hygiene (IEH) helps organisations understand, assess and manage workplace health risks through practical consultancy, professional training and evidence-informed solutions.
Specialists in ergonomics, occupational hygiene and workplace health risk management.
IEH was originally established by the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) in 2012. After nearly a decade of collaboration and partnership, IEH became an independent organisation in December 2021 while continuing to maintain strong professional ties with IOM.
Today, IEH continues to focus on ergonomics and hygiene, supporting clients with innovative thinking, practical risk management and professional capability building. Our work helps organisations create safer, healthier, more productive and more sustainable workplaces.
We serve organisations that need more than generic workplace safety advice. Our strength lies in understanding how people interact with their work, how exposure to health hazards occurs, and how practical controls can be implemented within real operating environments.
Our Purpose
To create a world of quality work and healthy life for all by providing strategic and innovative solutions for good ergonomics and hygiene.
What Our Logo Represents
The IEH logo reflects our identity as an institute focused on people, work, health and progress. The strong blue wordmark represents professionalism, trust and technical depth, while the dynamic orbital symbol expresses movement, innovation and the interaction between people, work systems and the environment.
The circular lines suggest integration and continuous improvement. This is central to IEH’s work: we do not look at workplace health risks in isolation, but consider how human factors, occupational hygiene, workplace systems and organisational needs come together.
Integrated consultancy and training for healthier workplaces.
IEH brings together human factors, occupational hygiene and workplace safety expertise to help clients assess risk, strengthen systems and build internal capability.

Quality work and healthy life for all.
IEH’s mission is to create a world of quality work and healthy life for all by providing strategic and innovative solutions for good ergonomics and hygiene.
We deliver this mission through consultancy, training, research-informed practice and professional activities that help organisations manage workplace health risks more effectively.
Quality Work
We support work that is safe, healthy, efficient, productive and fulfilling by improving the design of tasks, systems and environments.
Healthy Life
We help prevent harmful exposure to workplace hazards and promote better protection of human health at work and beyond.
Professional Capability
We train professionals, workers and organisations to recognise risks, apply good practices and sustain improvements over time.
Practical, evidence-informed and people-centred.
Our work is designed to bridge technical expertise and operational practicality. We aim to provide advice that clients can understand, implement and sustain.
Technical Depth
We apply ergonomics, human factors and occupational hygiene principles to identify root causes of workplace health and performance risks.
Operational Relevance
We consider real work conditions, worker behaviour, process constraints and business requirements when recommending solutions.
Capability Building
We help clients build internal knowledge through training, communication and practical tools that support long-term workplace health management.
From understanding the workplace to delivering practical solutions.
IEH projects are structured to help clients move from risk awareness to risk control, while keeping recommendations aligned with the way work is actually performed.
Understand the Work
We begin by understanding the client’s operations, processes, work tasks, workforce profile, exposure concerns and organisational objectives.
Assess the Risks
We assess relevant ergonomics, hygiene and workplace health risk factors using suitable qualitative, semi-quantitative or quantitative methods.
Recommend Controls
We provide practical recommendations that may include engineering controls, administrative controls, work redesign, training, monitoring or management system improvements.
Support Improvement
We support clients with reports, briefings, training and follow-up guidance so that improvements can be understood, implemented and sustained.
A focused institute for workplace health, human performance and hygiene risk management.
IEH combines consultancy, professional training and applied workplace health knowledge. This allows us to support organisations not only in identifying risks, but also in developing practical capability to manage those risks.
Our core expertise is centred on ergonomics, human factors, occupational hygiene and workplace health risk management.
We support both technical assessment and professional development, helping organisations build stronger internal capability.
Our advice is developed with implementation in mind, taking into account the realities of people, processes, equipment and work environments.
