SAIOH has established Regional Branches throughout South Africa, each headed up by a Branch Chair. The purpose of these branches is to provide focus for local meetings, events for members and others with an interest in occupational hygiene, communicate with regional members and potential members. Branches try to involve as many members and non-members as possible and are a point of contact to gain participation as well as to contribute to the continuous professional development (CPD's) of members. SAIOH Branches also offer the opportunity for SAIOH members to meet the SAIOH President and address any questions that they may have, directly with him/her.
