Safety Freeware

I just stumbled on a web site that offers a variety of free environmental, health and safety freeware. The term "freeware" typically refers to freely available software, but in this case it also includes resources such as free videos.

This web site provides a directory of environmental, safety and health related freeware. None of the software or videos are available from this web site. As a directory this web site provides links to other web sites that provide free downloads.

The software is divided into eight categories:

DataBases and Electronic Publications
Free EH&S Management Tools
"Neat Stuff"
Compliance and Reporting Software
Investigation Remediation Software
Training Software
Risk Analysis Software
EH&S Design, Operation and Maintenance Software

The "Neat Stuff" category includes things such as Free Environmental Software for Kids; Environmental Maps; Nature and Wildlife; Environmental Photographs and Clip Art; and Find Out About Pollution in Your Community.

I've not looked at any of the software yet, but that is something I will do in the future.
