Description
Summary:In November 2015, a small group of representatives from research, government and industry involved in occupational health (OH) in Gauteng gathered in a meeting to begin discussions about setting an OH research agenda with a specific focus on occupational hygiene. A tentative list of priority areas for research were identified, however, it was agreed that a follow-up meeting should be decisive on more final recommendations. It was also agreed that a repository of past and current OH-research in South Africa would be helpful as background information. The following paragraphs describe the development of such a repository.
