Safety Research Resource

If you're conducting research on injury prevention, the economics of injury and similar EHS topics, be sure to check out SafetyLit. The online resource provides abstracts and publication information from research in more than 30 disciplines relevant to injury prevention, including engineering specialties, ergonomics and human factors. According to the site, " Articles are considered relevant if they concern any of the pre-event or event elements of the Haddon Matrix; the epidemiology of injury; or the financial, personal, or societal costs or consequences of the any injury or risk factor." The searchable database contains more than 325,000 items and is operated by the Graduate School of Public Health at San Diego State University. You can also subscribe to a weekly update bulletin to keep up to date on the latest research developments.
