The CIS bibliographic database contains about 65,000 citations of documents that deal with occupational accidents and diseases as well as ways of preventing them. The types of documents are: laws and regulations, chemical safety data sheets, training material, articles from periodical publications, books and standards. Every record contains a detailed bibliographic description, a full abstract and indexing descriptors drawn from the CIS Thesaurus. The CISDOC database is updated on a continuous basis.

The database is made available to the public via the Internet

• via a free search interface on our site;
• under the name CISDOC through OSH-ROM, a SilverPlatter product offered by Croner, and
• under the name CISILO in two different formats by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety: on the CCINFOWEB and on the ILOCIS servers.

Click on the database names for more details on access and pricing. Both vendors also offer our database on CD-ROM.

Latest additions to the CISDOC database appear in the ILO-CIS Bulletin entitled Safety and Health at Work. This online periodical continues the numerical sequence and classification scheme of its printed predecessor (published 1973-2003).
