LinkedIn is a social media web site where people go to network – kind of like Facebook for your professional life.

It’s free to sign up and create a profile that details your career experience, and you can join groups that are a great forum for conversation. These groups let you post and answer questions from others in your field. You can use them to recruit new staff, find new clients, or seek employment.

Here are six LinkedIn groups that focus on the topic of safety.

* Workplace Health & Safety Professionals
* Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE)
* Driver Safety (Canada)
* Environmental Health & Safety Professionals
* Occupational Health and Safety
