The OHS Body of Knowledge would not exist and could not be maintained without the commitment and contributions of many people. This page recognises those who have authored or co-authored chapters in the OHS BoK.
While we cannot recognise here those many people who have also contributed through technical input or peer review these people are listed in the Foreword and acknowledgments document at https://www.ohsbok.org.au/chapter-1-1-forward/
