CISILO is a bilingual, bibliographic database which provides references to international occupational health and safety literature. The database is created by the International Occupational Safety and Health Information Centre/Centre international d'informations de sécurité et d'hygiène du travail (CIS) in Geneva.

CIS scans more than 400 journals annually on basic safety and health topics. More than 50 CIS National Centres collect and send material to Geneva to be included in the database.

The publications date from 1974 to the present and are in their original language of publication. In this database, references are described in English. For the equivalent French database consult CISILO (français).
