| Abstract |
This article issued following a seminar held in March 1996 in Montreal (Canada) highlights the numerous possibilities offered by the Internet for research on prevention. Three sites are presented with relevant data (addresses, access, specialty, etc.): that of Turva in Finland, SIRI of the University of Vermont in the USA, that of the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) in Hamilton (Ontario) and an additional site specialized in ergonomics (ERGOWEB) of the University of Utah (USA). The advantages of the Internet for OSH specialists are outlined as are its drawbacks, including the fact that research on the net can be very time-consuming. |
