The Internet and the Environmental Information Age - Part 1

摘要

Back when I was a young safety professional sorting through complicated problems as an analyst for Michigan OSHA or as a manager at the National Safety Council, the most difficult aspect of the work was generally acquiring enough good information to make and justify a decision. This usually meant multiple trips to the in-house library, tracking down books or research publications, scanning through endless rolls of microfiche documents and waiting several days for the arrival of reference materials from interagency document depositories. Many times, bad policies 01 decisions could be traced back to a lack of information.
