HSfB Site News - 5 October 2008

5 October 2008

Since HSfB was created in 2004, there have been many changes to UK health and safety legislation. This means that one or two of the freely available download materials on the site have become a little out-dated and need 'tweaked' in order to bring them back into line with the changes over the years. Although all of the materials on the site are taken 'as is', inaccuracies or not, a site audit has begun for the majority of materials available for download.
This task huge task has been taken on by a group of discussion forum volunteers - HSfB Audit Team. You can view the progress of the audit in the new dedicated forum section here - HSfB Site Audit.
The benefit to you is that our downloads stay as up-to-date as can be reasonably expected from a site with hundreds of contributors. Something which has never been done before on any site like ours!
If you would like to be part of the audit team, please have a read here for instructions.

You will now be able to keep up to date with the latest HS&E news articles through the www.healthandsafetyprofessional.co.uk RSS news feed on our home page. The RSS feed has up to the minute information and can be viewed in our 'Site News' box in the middle of the home page.
New industry specific networking discussion forum section created on our Health and Safety Discussion Forums
- What is the Networking Forum?
  
  The Networking Forum section does what it says on the tin. You can network with other HS&E professionals in your industry sector using the various forum sections and by using the various user groups set up to help keep in touch with each other.
  
  Networking User Groups
  
  Each networking forum section will have a user group set up in which you can request to join. You can view all user groups from within your user control panel where you can request to join a user group of your choice. Video guides on how to do this will be created soon.
  
  Your request will be sent to the individual user group leader for approval and once they have approved your request, you will be added to the group.
  
  The beauty of the user groups is that people can see at a glance who on the forums works in the same industry, so you can private message or email each other with industry specific queries etc. You can also send a private message to an entire user group if you like.
  
  User Group Leaders
  
  Each user group will have a leader and where there is no leader, the forum administrator will be the default group leader until somebody requests they want to take leadership on.
  
  Can I suggest a new networking section and user group?
  
  Absolutely! If you would like to create a new user group and networking forum section, just let the forum administrator know and it will be added for you.
  
  You don't necessarily need to become the group leader if you request a new user group.
  
  Networking Moderators are volunteers who will moderate the networking forum section. They will not be full HSfB Moderators for the rest of the discussion forums, but they won't mind you asking for help if you get stuck anywhere along the line.
