Safety & Health - Connect with L&I on Twitter and YouTube
The Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) has launched a Twitter site as its newest “social networking” feature. It also has consolidated its YouTube videos into one easy-to-use listing.
Links to both L&I’s Twitter and YouTube sites are available on the agency’s Web site at www.Lni.wa.gov.
L&I’s Twitter is a Web-based micro-blogging site with a range of information about such things as workers’ compensation, workplace safety and health, H1N1 flu and more. Some “tweets” on the site link to informative articles published in magazines and newspapers. Go to www.Lni.wa.gov/main/contactinfo/twitter/ for more information.
L&I also shares information through 27 listservs that provide information important to specific groups of people. These listservs can be viewed at www.Lni.wa.gov/Main/Listservs/.
Note: Due to cost factors, seminars and classes that the SHBA offers may have to be canceled if there is not adequate participation from the membership. Please register at least two weeks prior to the scheduled course date.
In the event that minimum attendance is not reached, the SHBA reserves the right to cancel any training up to one week prior. All attendees will be be contacted directly by either BIAW or SHBA if a training course is cancelled.
