OEDA created dedicated press coverage files, the largest of them a multi-volume series of press cuttings 1976-2007. This is followed by smaller aggregations.

More press coverage can be found throughout the OEDA papers. In the early years the charity monitored the anglophone press (chiefly British national dailies, but also trades magazines and local papers) for information with potential relevance for its mission, and continued to gather news reports until 2006. Some press cuttings came to OEDA from asbestos activists, personal injury lawyers, and well-wishers. Through its international network, OEDA also received media reports from North America, sporadically also from Australia and South Africa.

Some of these holdings are catalogued in the OEDA collection of printed material (see link below), among them incomplete sets of the following titles:

• ‘Engineering Safety’ July 1970-March 1978
