Occupational health and safety affects all industries and occupational groups. Everyone involved in health and safety at work needs to be kept up to date in this area in order to perform their responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and subordinate legislation. There are countless sources of help and guidance available including hard copy and electronic data, backed up with expert advice from individuals and organisations. The sheer volume of information creates the challenge of finding what you need when you need it. The answer to finding what you need to know lies in the organisation, identification, retrieval and exploitation of information.
