ICOH在一些科学文件和政策建议的制定中发挥了关键作用，但它并不总是科学客观的，特别是在石棉和其他纤维以及一些化学品和农药方面。国际卫生组织的许多成员是公司雇员或工业顾问，以专业科学组织的名义为跨国公司的利益服务，影响公共卫生政策。ICOH成员与公共卫生的利益冲突主导了该组织，并损害了ICOH的地位。对ICOH的官方承认损害了世卫组织和国际劳工组织的信誉。除非ICOH被承认为一个行业组织，否则继续接受世卫组织和国际劳工组织的承认是不合适的。
Abstract The ICOH has played a key role in the development of some scientific documents and policy recommendations, but it has not always been scientifically objective, particularly in regard to asbestos and other fibers and some chemicals and pesticides. Many ICOH members are employees of corporations or consultants to industry, serving multinational corporate interests to influence public health policy in the guise of a professional scientific organization. ICOH members' conflicts of interest with the public health dominate the organization and damage the standing of the ICOH. Official recognition of the ICOH compromises the credibility of the WHO and the ILO.1t is inappropriate for the ICOH to continue to receive WHO and ILO recognition unless the ICOH is recognized as an industry organization.
