Low Cost

The European Forum on Occupational Health is not primarily aimed at profit, and based in the Netherlands. We are all working part-time for EFOH, and some staff members work on a voluntary basis.This means the EFOH has a extreme low overhead costs, which leads to low attendance fees for participants.

Resources will be used to develop new training initiatives, and to develop web-based learning activities. To contact EFOH, please e-mail  info@efoh.eu
