Scope and content
After leaving the University of Toronto in 1983, Ham was given a Fellowship in Science and Public Policy at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C.. This series documents the research project undertaken by Ham in the area of occupational health and safety. It includes correspondence with various governmental bodies relating to Health and Safety, mainly in Ontario, the project outline submitted as part of his application, as well as an outline for a proposed book entitled "The Rhetoric and Reality in Regulating Occupational Health and Safety in Canada and the United States." Due to Ham’s failing health, this book was never written. Perhaps most interesting are a set of notebooks containing notes taken by Ham while conducting interviews with Health and Safety administrators throughout the United States and Canada.
