The Occupational Cancer Research Centre (OCRC) is a unique partnership that unites research, healthcare, workplace safety, labour and industry groups. Established in 2009, the OCRC is the first of its kind in Canada. The establishment of the OCRC grew out of the recognized need to re-emphasize research on the causes and prevention of occupation-related cancers after decades of diminished effort in most countries.

The OCRC works to fill the gaps in our knowledge of occupation-related cancers and uses these findings to inform preventive programs to control workplace carcinogenic (cancer-causing) exposures and improve the health of workers.
