Managers, foremen, safety engineers, factory and construction workers, along with anyone else who has an avid interest in workplace safety can discuss trends, learn about new products and share best practices on the Online Safety Community (www.safetycommunity.com), a new and free social networking site.
Launched by Ansell Limited, a provider of safety products and solutions in Red Bank, New Jersey, Online Safety Community offers customized features for members such as personalized pages, the ability to post photos or videos to a personal blog and the option to invite colleagues and friends to join the site, as well as targeted forums and groups.
Online Safety Community helps to fill a networking void for those in the workplace safety industry who typically only get to meet a few times a year during tradeshows and other professional events. Around the clock access to expert advice is certainly one attractive benefit of the site.
"By joining the Online Safety Community, safety professionals have 24-hour access to the most up-to-date safety information and the brightest minds in the industry," says Tracey Dodge, marketing communications manger for Ansell Occupational. "Anyone can start a post in a discussion forum or group asking for input from other professionals—some have asked for tips about employee safety programs already, and some great ideas have been provided by the community."
