I have an interest in the development of programmes, policies, and legislation to effect meaningful long-term systemic changes to prevent occupational diseases and injuries amongst workers. This includes promoting research to review and inform policy decisions to develop evidence-based legislation that reflects latest advancements in Occupational Health research.
