The new Online Safety Community brings safety professionals together.

August 6, 2008 • Workplace safety professionals who want the ability to interact with each other more than just once a year at trade shows and conferences now have an innovative new resource. The Online Safety Community is a free social network where PPE professionals can meet, share ideas and work together to pioneer new ways of making workplaces safer and more productive.

The Online Safety Community is for safety managers, foremen, safety engineers, factory and construction workers and anyone for whom workplace safety is a profession or passion. Built on a popular social networking platform and sponsored by Ansell, Red Bank, N.J., the online community allows members to stay up to date on emerging trends, learn about new safety products and interact with PPE experts across different industries.

"The internet has revolutionized the way people get information,” said Tracey Dodge, marketing communications manager, Ansell Limited. “Think of the Online Safety Community as a customized MySpace or Facebook-type site, but just for the workplace safety industry. The Online Safety Community is a great stop for those interested in what's happening in the PPE and occupational safety industry-straight from the people who live and breathe industrial safety."

The Online Safety Community was live in June with industry and host-generated content and in July, it opened up to membership from all workplace safety professionals. As with all social network sites, continuous content and discussions will be provided by community members, thus creating a dynamic forum for safety/PPE and many other industries.
