Montréal, October 27, 2009 - Starting today,
the Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail
(IRSST) is making accessible, in blog form, the scientific information
documented by its Strategic Watch Department. This scientific information comes
from the daily monitoring of more than 650 Web pages dealing with occupational
health and safety (OHS) and the information collected by its personnel during
discussions, workshops, forums, colloquia, conferences or any other event
addressing the major issues of OHS research.
Aimed at all audiences, but particularly the scientific
community and OHS professionals and stakeholders, these blogs cover nine
themes:
-
Occupational health and safety in general
-
Noise and vibration
-
Contaminants
-
Work context
-
Protective equipment
-
Machine safety
-
Occupational rehabilitation
-
OHS statistics
-
Musculoskeletal disorders
In inaugurating these blogs, the IRSST’s president-CEO, Marie
Larue, explained that by “choosing to make the results of scientific watch
accessible by means of a modern and rapid tool with a search engine, the IRSST
is making relevant information available to Web surfers that can be useful to
the research community as well as to the working community.”
By going to the http://comm.irsst.qc.ca/blogs/veille, Web surfers can also sign
up to receive alerts by e mail, subscribe to RSS feeds, or even submit comments
to be published on the site.
