On the occasion of the 94th Maritime Session of the International Labour Conference - to be held at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, from 7 to 23 February 2006 - the International Occupational Safety and Health Information Centre (CIS) has compiled a list of information resources (standards, books, articles, CD-ROMs, etc.) on occupational safety and health (OSH) issues associated with the maritime industry. It comprises material on accident prevention and working conditions of seafarers, fishermen and dockworkers. References contain full bibliographic descriptions, including abstracts and links giving access to the documents on the Internet when available. They are extracted from the CISDOC bibliographic database, a practical tool for seeking information of international interest on OSH. Sorted by year of publication, ILO documents appear first, followed by other information resources and a list of Internet sites. Entitled Occupational Safety and Health in the Maritime Industry - A CIS Bibliography, the document can be read in English and in French.
