Twelve years after social media’s entry to mainstream communication, 
occupational health and safety (OHS) practitioners seem hesitant in 
adopting this method of information sharing.

Using examples from related disciplines - such as health promotion and 
disaster management - this edited volume will highlight the 
opportunities for harnessing social media strategies in OHS.

Social media, when used well, can be a powerful and persuasive 
communication channel: it enables the presentation of information in 
multiple forms and modes; it facilitates fast and meaningful 
interactions between people, organisations and stakeholders; and it can 
cut through other communications clutter in entertaining ways.

Individuals, industry, governments and other relevant organisations and 
disciplines, such as health and disaster management agencies, have, to 
varying degrees, utilised social media successfully.

*Hence, we are calling for chapters from any of these domains that have 
application to the OHS context and from any innovative OHS experts who 
can add to the discussion*.
