Occupational Hygiene and Health Research Initiative (OHHRI)

Research collaboration with industry, in particular the platinum mining industry, which has a significant footprint in the North West Province, is one of our primary strengths. Nonetheless collaboration with other research entities of the NWU (e.g. HART, Pharmacen) and other national (e.g. Medical Research Council) and international (e.g. the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, USA) research organisations are well established.
