Questions to be considered…
- Are they really up to date as they should be?
- Look at your bookshelves – ask if this is up to date or your historical collection?
- If you ask your colleagues for information – ask if they are up to date with their knowledge? What do they read? Have they a specialist subject that they follow constantly? If so, how?
- Do you have access to a constantly updating OSH and Fire information centre or library? If you live in the UK the probability is that the answer is NO.
- Check the universities and colleges information centres that teach OSH and fire sciences and look at their information centres / libraries to see what up to date sources of information they have to support their lecturers and students in their current studies.
- In any recent training courses you have attended, ask how much NEW information was passed to you. If none, ask why.
