ICOH has both individual and collective members. An organisation, society, industry or enterprise may become a sustaining member of the ICOH. A professional organisation or a scientific society may become an affiliate member.
Sustaining members may nominate a representative who fulfills the criteria for full membership and enjoys all the benefits of an individual member. An affiliate member may nominate one representative who fulfills the criteria for full membership and enjoys the same rights as a full member. ICOH's individual members have a wide professional distribution and include medical doctors, occupational hygienists, occupational health nurses, safety engineers, psychologists, chemists, physicists, ergonomists, statisticians, epidemiologists, social scientists and physiotherapists. These professionals work either for universities, institutes of occupational health, governments or industries. At the end of 1999, the largest national groups were those of USA, France, Japan, Sweden, Finland, Italy and United Kingdom, each with more than 100 members.
