SafetyCall International Introduces the Launch of our New Blog!
October 2011
This month, SafetyCall enters the blogosphere with the launch of our blog site. Staying true to SafetyCall’s mission of communicating clear and trusted health, safety, and medical information 24/7, the content of our blogs will reflect just that, information and opinions from health care practitioners with a specialized yet broad area of knowledge. That knowledge relates to a clear understanding of the safety and toxicity of commercial products, both household and institutional, pesticides, dietary supplements, animal health products, food, and drugs. We will write about new trends or research in these areas, regulatory changes that affect the manufacturer, distributor and user, or just what might be on our minds regarding the wide world of health, safety, and medicine. Some blogs will be short snippets of thought or useful information, others longer.
Visit our blog here or subscribe to our feed to hear what SafetyCall's partners are saying each week!
