Networking was a core activity for Nancy Tait's organisation, and one she pursued through the so-called 'SPAID Fellowship' (imagined as a supporters' club), through an extensive series of conferences and meetings, and through information exchange and the development of professional contacts and alliances with a range of organisations and individuals, notably unions, victims support groups, and legal experts. Primarily these were based in the UK. But Tait also maintained a North American correspondence, in particular with personal injury lawyers and with asbestos critics, and she avidly followed news on European health & safety regulation.

OEDA often tracked information by subject rather than by current activity or pending matter. In this manner the organisation tended to accumulate data on a range of occupational and environmental health themes.

Six series, each of them representing a type of information service provided by SPAID / OEDA. As follows:

• fielding occupational and environmental health enquiries
• publications by the organisation
• display boards and posters generated for use at meetings, conferences and around the office
• responses to requests for information from solicitors
• responses to requests for information from the media
