ASSE Connection [Professional Safety](Professional Safety Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Keep the Conversation Going Have you ever read an article in Professional Safety and thought, "I have exactly the same problem in my own workplace," or "This is exactly the opposite of what I have experienced in my career"? Do you have an opinion on an article's subject? Are there points the author didn't cover? Engage with your peers and tell them what you think. For example, in this issue of PS, Doug Gray, PCC, talks about making smart job site decisions about smartphone apps (pp. 4647). What do you think? Have you implemented any leadership decisions about smart technology? Keep the conversation going by sending in your comments on stories and features to the PS Reader Forum (professional [email protected]). Be sure to include your contact information. 1 SUNNYSIDEEGGS/1ST0CK/THINKST0CK EHS Works READ IT. WRITE IT. UVE IT. EHS Works: ASSE's Blog Do you read ASSE's blog, EHS Works?
