Rachel Hobbs-Price, general manager of HAYLEYMEDIA (publishers of ISN) says, ‘The scope and distribution of ISN has grown rapidly over the last few years along with the increased emphasis in New Zealand on workplace safety. The new name is part of this evolution’.
As well as a new name, there will be a new editor, a new sales manager and an even greater focus on proactive injury prevention and building a healthy workforce.
Lisa Gossage takes over the editorial reins from the February issue. She cut her publishing teeth in the UK working for a BBC publication before moving into the area of road safety, first in the UK and then in New Zealand. She has over ten year’s experience in safety education, promotion and injury prevention.
Jeff Singleton is the new advertising sales manager and comes to the magazine with a wealth of experience in business development and client services.
National Safety News will consolidate the position that ISN built up as the most widely circulated, New Zealand focused safety magazine and an essential workplace health and safety resource for all types of industries.
Lisa Gossage, Editor of National Safety News says, ‘As a great thinker once said ‘knowledge is power’ but it is the communication of that knowledge that gives it its worth. I am looking forward to working closely with others in the safety industry on not only reporting on safety issues, but really getting to the root of injury causes and contributory factors and then informing on how best to prevent them.’
National Safety News will replace the February issue of ISN magazine. It will be circulated to the same extensive database, reaching over 14,000 decision makers in a wide variety of industries including engineering, construction, manufacturing, warehousing, freight, transport, logistics, food processing, printing, packaging and more. Steve Best, previous editor of ISN Industrial Safety News, continues to be involved as executive editor.
