CISILO is a bilingual, bibliographic
database which provides references to international occupational
health and safety literature. The database is created by the International
Occupational Safety and Health Information Centre/Centre international
d'informations de sécurité et d'hygiène du
travail (CIS) in Geneva.
CIS scans more than 400 journals annually on basic safety and health
topics. More than 80 CIS National Centres collect and send material
to Geneva to be included in the database.
Some 50% of the abstracts cover topics specific to occupational
hygiene;another 30% cover occupational medicine; and about 20% cover
industrial safety.
The publications date from 1974 to the present and are in their
