New centre focuses on workplace cancer

Canada has its first research centre dedicated solely to identifying, preventing and eliminating work-related cancers. Called the Occupational Cancer Research Centre, it was launched in March by Cancer Care Ontario, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), the Canadian Cancer Society (Ontario Division) and the United Steelworkers. IWH is working with the new centre to explore potential research contributions.
