The Chemwatch Scientific team comprises Hygienists,
Chemists, Toxicologists, Environmental Professionals,
Safety Specialists and Physicians. Their duties include
maintenance of the database ensuring both accuracy
and currency.
Many hundreds of scientific journals are published
weekly and their content must be reviewed for
relevance as it applies to the Chemwatch System.
Some 6000 titles appear in Life-Science journals
weekly; the Chemwatch team reviews every title.
New information is used to update the databases and is also broadcast
to Chemwatch subscribers, weekly, by e-mail in the form of Bulletin
Boards.
The weekly e-mail-out consists of:
Gossip: Comprising topics of general interest to the
OHS specialist but without substantial technical
content. Non-scientific sources are also cited.
Legislation: Both changes and intended changes in
international and Local Regulation are cited and
provide the basis of forward planning.
Technical Issues: Detailed information for the
professional Health and Safety practitioner is
provided in the following areas of interest:
Occupational Health
Occupational Medicine
Environmental
Health
Safety Science
Up to 100 articles are added to Bulletin Boards
each week; they are provided free-of charge
to
all subscribers.
They also appear on quarterly updates of the CD as
part of a larger database comprising all Bulletin Boards
from past CDs. Keyword searches may be conducted.
Author and Journal searches may also be undertaken.
