Posing construction workers in hot water

Taking a safety program public (via ISHN)

Dave Johnson, editor of ISHN, wrote a great article about taking your safety program public.



In it, Dave writes, "Going public with your health and safety program must be more than a PR exercise to earn trust and credibility with your target audience(s).

Thanks for the comment regarding your efforts to block spam. I really appreciate what you've done here, and some junk is only to be expected as the community grows larger. I realize my message was a little coarse, I apologize. I know it's not easy fighting the robots. Please keep up the good work.

I am trying to get used to your procedures for participating. I have, for a long time, been used to participating in Hazmat101. It is a very easy to use system since everything is done via e-mail posts.
As I get used to the Online Safety Community way I will participate more.

Hi Lara,
the article about how to market yourself is superb. It waas very good written. It was a bit too long, but so interesting that I kept on reading until the end.

Thanks for the tip Lara. I have been reading through a few of your Blog Post, very interesting. Didn't get to read them all. I am at work at the moment, but whenever I find the time, I'll definitely continue reading.

Keep up the good work.
Brent

Hi Lara! Thanks for the comments about my furry boy Noah! He is awesome! He actually recycles while we're out for walks! He'll pick up garbage and walk towards a recycle bin/garbage can and I'll put it in for him! He's learned well! HAHA.
