Title Dissemination of OHS information into small businesses
Bibliographic information Apr. 1997, Vol.13, No.2, p.157-159. 11 ref.
Abstract Surveys of small business employers and producers and disseminators of OHS information in Australia revealed that the majority of information produced and circulated is targeted towards committed employers and OHS practitioners. Much of the information is duplicated by the various agencies and small employers tend to scan and disregard the majority of it. Business owners tend to rely on various networks to seek advice on OHS matters. It is recommended that this networking system should be further studied and utilized in the dissemination of OHS information.
