| Abstract |
Recent initiatives to provide information on preventive measures in an abbreviated, eventually electronic format, the so-called Solution databases, are a new development in the field of occupational health and safety. In the United Kingdom (Noise control databank, BOHS air contaminant control case histories), Australia (SHARE), the United States (NIOSH Control Technology Database), Sweden (Miljöbanken) and Canada (SOLUTIONS) such databases are either at an experimental stage, or a prototype has already been developed. In this report a survey of these data banks is presented. Attention is given to: status, purpose and size of the data banks; contents and output; keyword coding; classification of sources and solutions; user and provider groups. Interviews were held with representatives of potential user groups in the Netherlands to establish their current practice in searching for preventive measures and the consequences of this for the storage and accessibility of the information in the data banks. The lack of a classification of preventive measures and production processes in the present data banks restricts the general applicability of preventive measures and their transferability between various branches of industry.
