Welcome to the Centre for Environmental and Occupational Health Research

The Centre for Environmental and Occupational Health Research (CEOHR) is a prestigious research centre within the School of Public Health in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Cape Town. The Centre is one of three research centres established in the School of Public Health which has members from the Divisions of Environmental Health, Occupational Medicine, and Public Health Medicine. Together, these divisions and the SARChI Chair in Global Environmental Health contribute substantially to the field of environmental health and occupational health research. The centre is universally known for its work on occupational and environmental allergens and asthma, pesticides and endocrine disruption, hazardous chemicals, climate change research, risk communication and translational research, and occupational and environmental health systems research.

Historical overview

CEOHR has been a University of Cape Town recognised research centre / unit since 1994. Between 2001 and 2005 the CEOHR was a recognised MRC research entity. And from 2005-2014, it was a World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre for Occupational Health. The centre has for some years arguably concentrated the most substantial concentration of skills in clinical occupational medicine and occupational and environmental epidemiology research in the country. The South Africa Swiss Bilateral Research Chair in Global Environmental Health, awarded to Professor Dalvie in 2015 has also contributed considerably to generating evidence, building capacity, and strengthening the field of environmental epidemiology. Further, CEOHR has been contributing towards improving global health with recent example including the contribution of members towards the development of various workplace policies that were aimed towards reducing hazardous exposure, prevention of spread of COVID-19 infection during the pandemic, as well as climate change resilience projects. 

Vision and Mission

The stated vision of the CEOHR is to work towards a world where all people enjoy the right to health and a healthy environment both in the workplace and beyond. We do so based on our commitment to scientific rigour, equity, and justice in all its forms.

Our mission is to achieve this vision by:

  • Conducting high-quality, innovative research that is locally and globally relevant to occupational and environmental risk factors and their impact on human health;
  • Translating research into evidence-based policies, interventions and activities that support the protection and empowerment of populations most at risk of environmental and occupational hazards;
  • Exploring approaches to promoting the health and wellbeing of people in the workplace;
  • Applying our research and advocating for the right of all people to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications; and
  • Nurturing the development of engaged scientists committed to the centre’s vision.

Current ex-miner projects in South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini are aimed at improving access to medical examination and care for occupational lung disease and social security for these populations.  He is a past Gruber Fellow in Global Justice at Yale University, a member of the Collegium Ramazzini, and most recently an Oppenheimer Exchange Scholar at Trinity College, Oxford, where he worked on developing models for protecting health care workers from infectious respiratory hazards.

 His current research areas include:  

  • Clinical management and prevention of silico-tuberculosis globally
  • Epidemiology of occupational lung disease in ex-miners
  • Health service models for screening, referral, and medicolegal assessment of ex-miners with lung disease
  • Computer aided detection of radiological lung disease, particularly silicosis and tuberculosis in miners and tuberculosis in health care workers
  • Occupational health systems for management of air quality in health care facilities and protection of staff and patients from transmission of respiratory infection
