Book reviews:

Jackson-Koku G. Occupational Safety and Health Online: How to Find Reliable Information. Occupational Medicine. 2018; 68: 74. “My overall opinion is that this is a carefully written, comprehensive, and up-to-date book on how to find reliable occupational health and safety information online. The resources within it will save the busy clinician or researcher valuable time when conducting literature searches or evidence-based guideline enquiries relating to the practice of occupational health and safety.”
Mueller, KL. Book Review of “Occupational Safety and Health Online. How to Find Reliable Information”. J Occup Environ Med. 2019; 61: p e172. “The book provides an excellent summary of how to research various websites available to professionals and students in a variety of countries with a particular focus on Spanis sites. … In summary, this is a valuable text for all students in Masters level occupational safety and health courses as well as for health and safety professionals working in Spanish-speaking countries.” 

The book is recommended to occupational physicians, occupational health nurses, occupational hygienists, occupational psychologists, ergonomists, safety experts, and others. Easy access is offered to essential Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) online sources and websites providing good factual information, evidence-based guidelines, systematic reviews, scientific articles, quality online learning materials, a glossary for OSH terms, a PubMed-in-ten-steps lesson, and more. Search instructions and examples show how to search effectively. More than 130 hyperlinks can be applied directly to find reliable information. So, the book can assist not only graduate and postgraduate students, but also in continuing medical education and professional development.

The e-book version is to download, free of charge, from the LDOH foundation website shop.

Based on the book we developed a 2.5-day hands-on face-to-face course (workshop) for OSH experts (English). This course was successfully given in Zagreb, Croatia (2018). The comprehensive course materials are available on this website, free of charge.

In 2021 we published a scientific article on this topic. Van Dijk F, Caraballo-Arias Y. Where to Find Evidence-Based Information on Occupational Safety and Health? Ann Glob Health. 2021; 87: 6. free of charge.
