New OSHA Cd-Rom Does More, Costs Less
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's latest
CD-ROM disc, which includes considerably more information than
previous releases, will now cost less.
For $79, rather than $88 for a one-year subscription or $28
per single disc, purchasers will get all OSHA standards, the OSH
Act and OSHA Federal Register notices. CD-Rom users also will
find preambles to final rules, Occupational Safety and Health
Review Commission decisions, standards interpretations and
frequently asked questions, corporate-wide settlement agreements,
fact sheets, the Field Inspection Reference Manual, variances,
the OSHA Technical Manual, Congressional testimony, chemical
sampling information, OSHA directives, hazard information
bulletins, speeches, analytical methods, compliance memos, a
listing of Nationally Recognized Testing Labs, memorandums of
understanding with other agencies, approved blood lead testing
labs, an index to OSHA publications, SAVEs (Standard Alleged
Violation Elements), Mine Safety and Health Administration
standards, GOCAD (cadmium biological monitoring advisor), Bureau
of Labor Statistics recordkeeping guidelines and the occupational
safety and health laws and regulations of Mexico.
The newest version supports Windows, Macintosh and DOS-based
computers and permits Windows users to jump from one related
document to another through hypertext links. Release A95-3,
current through June 1995, contains thousands of pages of OSHA
documents and regulations. The disc includes retrieval software
that allows a PC user to search the text of the materials,
display documents and view images. New Windows software is
easier to use and permits users to copy individual databases to
their PC hard drive to access data without using the CD-ROM.
Titled "OSHA Regulations, Documents, and Technical
Information on CD-ROM," the disc is available from the Government
Printing Office as a one-year subscription (stock number 729-013-00000-5)
for $79 or as a single disc for $28. GPO will accept
VISA, MasterCard or GPO Deposit Account charges. Written orders
must be prepaid. Mail checks, payable to Superintendent of
Documents, along with orders to GPO, Washington, D.C. 20402. For
telephone orders, call (202) 512-1800. Currently GPO sends out
more than 14,000 OSHA CD-ROM discs each quarter.
Installation instructions, user instructions and a
description of information on the CD-ROM are included in a small
booklet enclosed in the CD-ROM case. OSHA's CD-ROM help desk at
(801) 487-0680 can provide further information and answer
questions on the product.
