In my PhD research a recurring problem is lack of use of evidence about the causes (ie, hazards) of an event, events, the consequences of a conjectured event, and the controls.
This raises the question: where do OHS practitioners/professionals get reliable evidence from when carrying out a risk assessment or giving advice? It may be academic research (often narrow in its focus and/or expensive to buy) or practice-based research, but it should be reliable (ie, not marketing material).
I'd like to hear from other forum members about your sources that meet the requirements that they are: free or low-cost; publicly accessible; reliable. Reliability might be because you can see the authors have a good track record and have cited their sources.
Some of my favourite sources are:
* HSE research reports at http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/index.htm
* IOSH research reports at https://www.iosh.co.uk/Books-and-resources.aspx
* Safety and Health at Work, a peer reviewed open access (ie, free) journal at https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/safety-and-health-at-work . I mentioned this one in my last post and it really is worth a look.
