Abstract This is a report on the second part of a study on the feasibility of developing a solution databank to assist companies in locating solutions for their health and safety problems. It summarizes the conclusions of the review of existing databanks described in the first report (Swuste and Hale 1992: S 151, see CIS 93-450) and specifies the objectives and structure of the proposed databank. Based on a consideration of the available classification systems for information on solutions, the report specifies how the data could be stored and it provides assistance to users in locating solutions close to the source or in gaining access to comparable processes which are intrinsically less hazardous. The proposed databank has a user-interface system with two potential entry points corresponding to two basic types of solution: firstly based on the production process subdivided into the production (principle and function as access point to substitute methods of production); secondly, the emission and transmission process as the access point for more conventional hygiene control measures. Detailed summary in Dutch.
