About References & Resources
As Occupational Health Professional we all need to have reliable and accessible
references and resources to competently fulfill our responsibilities. With the advent of the
internet, there is now a wealth of information accessible to all of us on our computers.
Below are a few information references and resources that are available to you online.
Some are only available to you as a part of NASA, such as NASA Technical Standards Program,
and others are open to the public, such as the CDC sites.
