| Abstract |
This article describes the initiatives undertaken by a large Australian mining, refining and smelting company to create a fully electronic, text-searchable records management database for all industrial hygiene-related documentation. The development of the system involved software purchase and testing and the scanning of over 5,000 documents covering a period of 40 years or more. The system provides an efficient method for the storage and retrieval of health and safety records. |
