Abstract This PDC explores the crucial role of occupational hygiene within the broader context of sustainable development and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Occupational hygiene, as a multidisciplinary field, contributes significantly to several SDGs, including those related to health and well-being, decent work, and responsible consumption and production. In this PDC we examine the intersections between occupational hygiene and various SDGs, and underscores the importance of viewing the SDGs as a dynamic and interconnected framework, where progress in one area can have ripple effects on others. Occupational hygiene is positioned at the nexus of these interrelated goals, offering insights and solutions that contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. By adopting a systems-thinking approach and recognizing the complexity of the global challenges we face, stakeholders can work together to develop more effective and lasting solutions that benefit both society and the environment.
