“Our goal is to hear the views from as many nurses and technicians about forming a single organisation to represent OH nurses or technicians, as well as your views of what the organisation should provide for its membership,” said the association.

The survey, which closed in October, also looked at views on, and expectations about, the new National School of Occupational Health.
