How I think about writing for this industry…

“When I write for Canadian Occupational Safety, I keep two people in mind: the safety professional reading the story, and the individual worker whose safety their advice could protect. The topics – regulation, compliance, case studies – can get dense, so I focus on making every piece as clear and accessible as possible”
