This is my hope for Today in EHS.  As an EHS Professional I want to provide creative articles, news, thought provoking questions, videos, and unbiased product reviews for the EHS Professional community.

So here are my commitments to you.

• Fresh content daily Monday through Friday (I need the weekends to spend time with my family, do research, write articles, and film videos)
• Videos! Yes, next week I will start posting videos.  My goal is to ask the question of the week, do product reviews, tell stories, and hopefully conduct interviews all through video.  I’d really rather just talk than write…
• Ideas, insights, and stories you can use, steal, whatever – I love to tell stories from my life and give them practical applications in our large group safety meetings – I cannot wait to share these stories here.  I think I will start with the peeing in the pool story.
• No annoying banner ads

What I need from you.

• If something interests you, leave a comment, please.
• If you have an insight or idea into something in the EHS world, send it to me and I will post it.  My personal goal in building this site is to improve as an EHS Professional so I want to steal as many ideas from others as I can!
• If you know someone who wrote an interesting blog post or article, have them get in touch with me and I will post it here.
• If you like this site, tell another EHS Professional about Today in EHS.

So if you are wondering how to get in touch with me, here you go.
