News Release
Technical Indexes’ new web based information service info4localgov.com is a dedicated, fast online information product for local authority professionals to access the latest relevant, reliable and up-to-date online documentation.
Specially designed for use by local authority Architects, Building Control Officers, Environmental Health Officers, Trading Standards Officers, Engineering and Technical Services staff, the new online service is the most comprehensive and fully up-to-date package of such information available anywhere.
The service consists of five key areas: –
Specify-it is a comprehensive collection of actual product data covering
the construction industry. Occupational Health and Safety Information Service (OHSIS), published in association with British Standards Publishing Ltd, is a full-text collection of key health and safety, fire safety and environmental health guidance material and standards. Document Alert Channel delivers rapid access to key up-to-date summary information that compliments the data contained in the OHSIS section.The RIBA.ti Construction Information Service (CIS), produced jointly with RIBA Companies Ltd and in association with British Standards Publishing Ltd, covers all aspects of legislation, standards and guidance material on Building, Civil & Structural Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management. Environment Online is a full-text collection of legislation, guidelines and codes of practice from key issuing bodies.

By combining all these key information areas into one, streamlined and easy to access package, cost savings of 40% can be achieved over purchasing each subject element individually, and many local authority departments are already achieving further effective benefits through sharing the costs of the service at a local departmental level.
Data within new service is the latest available, and regular updates mean local government professionals everywhere can rely on Technical Indexes’
