Kevin Jones has closed his subscription-serviced OHS publications for the moment to concentrate on a range of OHS publications for specific clients. However, frequently there are news items that are of more general interest and these will be mentioned and addressed at the SafetyAtWorkBlog that has been operating since January 2008.
In late November 2008 Wordpress, a leading international blogging site, included SafetyAtWorkBlog in its list of "Growing Blogs".
Blogs can have a major advantage over traditional newsletters as they encourage dialogue and debate and can be designed as a portal to the full range of information available through the internet.
