In 2008, we provided tailored health and safety training to those employees at a higher risk of injury in the workplace, including those warehouse, facilities, and sales staff who regularly carry products. We also worked with real estate and human resources colleagues responsible for reporting cases, encouraging them to ensure staff who have experienced an injury receive necessary treatment, training and support to reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence. Online health and safety training and risk assessments are available to all staff.
RE produces numerous products that spur knowledge of health and safety issues, including Health & Safety at Work magazine; Occupational Health Review; an Easy Guide to Health & Safety; Health and Safety Pocket Book; Practical Health and Safety Management for Small Business; and many others.
In 2008, Elsevier continued support for patientINFORM, a collaboration with other publishers and the American Cancer Society, the American Diabetes Association, and the American Heart Association, to provide patients and their caregivers online access to up-to-date, reliable research for specific diseases, empowering patients to have more productive dialogue with physicians and make well-informed care decisions.
