Associate Fellow of Industrial Health [AFIH]

The Associate Fellow of Industrial Health programme at SRM Institute of Science and Technology in Chennai is a short, focused certification aimed at working professionals and graduates who want a formal grounding in occupational and industrial health practice. The course covers the core areas that an industrial-health practitioner is expected to know: workplace hazard recognition, occupational disease prevention, safety regulation, environmental monitoring within a factory or plant setting, and the basic administrative processes that go with running a compliant industrial-health function. It suits candidates already working in factories, manufacturing units or occupational-health roles who need a recognised qualification to formalise their expertise, as well as medical or paramedical graduates who want to specialise in industrial and occupational health rather than general clinical practice. Classes combine lectures from faculty with practical exposure to industrial-health case material, and the qualification is intended to be applied directly in a workplace safety or compliance role after completion. Because the programme runs on SRM's Chennai campus, students also draw on the university's wider health-sciences faculty and facilities. The sanctioned intake for the programme is divided across categories and quotas as fixed by SRM Institute of Science and Technology, and the official category-wise seat matrix is published in the university's own admission notice and reissued every session, so applicants should always refer to the current year's version.
