The British Occupational Health Research Foundation (BOHRF) is a non-profit making, grant-awarding charity, established in 1991 to contribute to the best possible physical and mental well-being of employees. Their mission:

Bringing employers and researchers together to produce robust science and evidence based work of practical value whose application will contribute to the right of people at work to be 'healthy, motivated and at work'.

Their strategy is to concentrate in high quality, high impact projects which will have maximum positive effects for as many workers as possible.

BOHRF raises and deploys funds for:

• Occupational health research of practical value.
• Practical evidence based reviews and guidelines in biomedical and psychological fields thereby reducing the enormous cost to employers and employees of work related illnesses.

They only fund work which has direct practical application in the workplace.

Reports on the BOHRF website include:

• Review of global research on common mental health problems.
• Review of global research on occupational asthma.
• Reviews of global research on back pain.
• Intervention study on trauma at work.
• Intervention study on bullying at work.
• Intervention study on people with no job control - organisational changes achieving improved motivation, mental health and attendance.
• Managing attendance at work.
• Hand arm vibration - summary of global research.
