Mission Statement

The mission of the SafetyLit Foundation is to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-use, searchable, Internet-based bibliographic database of scholarly journal articles, technical reports, and theses concerning all issues of safety arising from many professional disciplines and nations. SafetyLit strives to index these items in a way that access to information by policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, and the general public will not be hindered by obscure professional jargon or arcane search terms.

Description

SafetyLit is a free service of the SafetyLit foundation in cooperation with San Diego State University and the World Health Organization. SafetyLit is donor supported and all of SafetyLit services are presented without advertising. SafetyLit includes books, technical reports, academic theses, and soon again book chapters. The database includes about 500,000 records. Journal articles arise form more than 14,000 publications from more than 30 distinct professional disciplines. About 700 new and archival items are added to the database each week. Records date to the mid-17th century with material about the safety of farmers, mariners, and miners. SafetyLit staff and volunteers hand examine journal articles, etc. to identify those items that meet the inclusion criteria (see: http://www.safetylit.org/faq.html ).
