Research

We engage in scientific research activity led by the Faculties or in collaboration with partners.

Although not primarily a producer of original research, we do engage in some research projects.

Research initiatives are led by the Faculty of Occupational Hygiene or the Faculty of Asbestos Assessment and Management, or in collaboration with partners.

One of our operating principles is that as a scientific body we should promote understanding of the findings of scientific research and promote and support the search for answers where scientific evidence is lacking.
