Transferred from SOHC during 2015 and 2016. Original SOHC ID: "SOHCA/018". The project was sometimes referred to as "Nuffield Occupational Health Service Project" and at times listed as a component of the "Work and health in Scotland oral history project". The original recordings were made in 2001-2002 using a cassette recorder. In 2016, they were digitised to uncompressed, unaltered 24 bit/96kHz BWF format (for preservation) with 16bit/48kHz MP3 surrogates (for access).
