IOSH_tweets reaches landmark number

13 May 2011

More than 2,000 people are following IOSH on Twitter making it one of the most successful feeds in the health and safety profession.

IOSH_tweets has seen a surge in followers since autumn last year when the numbers were in the low hundreds. Now, with a co-ordinated social and digital media strategy, the Institution is looking to further increase its online presence using different online media platforms, including Twitter, YouTube and Audioboo.

Ian Smart, IOSH’s Interim Communications Director, said: “We’re delighted with the success of Twitter and our other social media channels. The importance of social media to organisations like IOSH shouldn’t be underestimated. Through channels such as Twitter and Audioboo, we can communicate instantly with members who, in turn, can then help us get our messages across to others.”
