September 13, 2006—The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) Standards Association is offering a collection of nearly 90 safety and security standards on three optical disks.
The set, called the IEEE VuSpec: Safety & Security Standards Series, addresses three broad areas: critical infrastructures; computers and networks; and the generation and use of electricity. In aggregate, the disks comprise a standards resource of more than 6,000 pages, says IEEE.
The disks give safety professionals and others ready access to those IEEE standards recommended when developing and implementing safety, security, risk and loss reduction programs, training, and emergency management plans.
The compilation includes original standards and their revisions through January 1, 2006. Each disk also contains special features to help users make sense of the many standards it contains, such as a glossary of standards terms, an index, the ability to search for specific content in a standard or across multiple standards using key words, and links to relevant online resources.
The IEEE is a leading developer of standards that underpin many technologies. For more information, see the Web site.
