Which format is best?
It depends on how you use it! Injury Facts comes in three formats – book, CD-ROM,
and multi-user CD licenses.
The book is the best format for those who use it frequently or need quick access. The book is also good for browsing to find potential topics for safety talks and other safety activities.
Safety, health, and environmental staff will use it all the time and they are probably
the ones who get books now. But also consider books for first line supervisors who
will use it for toolbox talks. HR staff may also use it for benchmarking workers’
compensation costs and for developing off-the-job programs.
The CD-ROM is handy for less frequent users and has the advantage of being able to search through it automatically using key words. You can also copy and paste any of the graphs or text from the CD into reports, newsletters, presentations, and other documents. CD-ROMs are good for executives, plant managers, department managers, support personnel,and others who have safety responsibilities but need the information less frequently.
Injury Facts is also available as a Book & CD-ROM Kit.
Buy together and save!
The multi-user license is ideal for organizations that want to give everyone access
to the important information in Injury Facts. It’s a good way to maintain safety
awareness.
Multi-user license are most cost effective if more than 20 users are anticipated
and are available for 1-500 Users and 501+ Users.
