Message from Brian Kazer, Chief Executive, BOHRF
(Brian's direct line is 0207 034 3420):
E mails have started appearing in BOHRF In Box week beginning 28 June that on the In Box listing are titled "bohrf.org.uk". The message starts "Hello, admin@bohrf.org.uk etc …" Do not open them and do not click the link. These are not official BOHRF e-mails. At best they are just nuisance junk … at worst they are either a scam or a Trojan Horse

The British Occupational Health Research Foundation (BOHRF)

BOHRF launched two new systematic evidence reviews on occupational allergies on 25 March. The first systematic evidence review on occupational contact dermatitis that covers all employment sectors:

Occupational Contact Dermatitis: Evidence Review – March 2010

Short summaries of evidence based action for occupational health professionals, occupational safety professionals and safety representatives; for employers, and for workers and their representatives; and for GP’s and practice nurses, are on our occupational dermatitis page

The other review is a major update of the award winning systematic evidence review on occupational asthma:

Occupational Asthma: Evidence Review – March 2010

Short summaries of evidence based action for occupational health professionals, occupational safety professionals and safety representatives; for employers, and for workers and their representatives; and for GPs and practice nurses, are on our occupational asthma page

BOHRF is an award-winning, innovative niche charity specialising in the provision of evidence based solutions to practical questions asked by employers and their advisers in both private and public sectors.

Our mission is:

'Bringing employers and researchers together to produce research that will contribute to good employee health and performance at work'.

We address the 'big' issues:

Our work is:

Evidence based, independent and objective
Of international relevance
Always of direct practical application at work
Based on robust methodology so it "does what it says on the tin"
Independently peer reviewed and scrutinised by the research committee

Please see Supporting Our Work for details of how to support BOHRF's work, and the benefits this will bring to your organisation.

Our Corporate Governance

All BOHRF research projects are scrutinised by peer reviewers and by the research committee. The aim of this is to assure that the research is capable of delivering the answers being sought.

Funding decisions are made by the BOHRF Board of Trustees, taking account of the peer reviewer reports and the recommendations of the Research Committee. We also listen very carefully to the views of our sponsors, project funders, and other stakeholders about what we should fund.

BOHRF policy and strategy are determined by our Board of Trustees (see Our people for details) which is also responsible for reviewing our risk management controls.
