OHSI Logo

The original OHSI Logo design was inspired by the Book of Kells, created in the 9th Century.  

​

In 2022 the OHSI looked to update the logo and created the rebrand you see today. The colours chosen to represent occupational health in Ireland and the letters OHSI are visible within the artwork.
