Headlines      Database of Workplace Health Information Now Available – Free

There is a new comprehensive database now available on CCOHS’ Web Information Service that provides workplace health information. The Workplace Health Promotion Resources database was developed out of a research project undertaken by The Health Communication Unit (THCU) at the Centre for Health Promotion, University of Toronto and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. From 2001-2003 an extensive bibliography was compiled with almost 900 references to documents and websites relevant to workplace health, including workplace health programs, evaluations, comprehensive literature reviews, and materials suitable for distribution to employees in the workplace.

CCOHS has made the Workplace Health Promotion Resources database available on the CCOHS website free of charge to provide access for a wider audience to this unique resource of workplace health materials. With workplace health becoming an increasingly important issue this resource will be of interest to those interested in the theoretical and applied aspects of workplace health promotion. It may be of particular interest to public health professionals, occupational health nurses, managers, and individuals involved with program design and implementation.

There is a link to the search box for the Workplace Health Promotion Resources database on the CCOHS Web Information Service (WIS) home page under Additional Resources, Specialized Databases : http://ccinfoweb.ccohs.ca/workplacehealth/search.html.
