DES PLAINES, IL – In its continuing efforts to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) will provide free job postings to employers and employees recovering from the effects of Katrina from September 26, 2005 – October 24, 2005.
To participate in this one-month program employers and job seekers should go to http://www.nexsteps.org then to the ‘Create Account’ listed on the Nexsteps home page to develop an account and register. They will then be given access to post a job.
“We are doing this to assist those seeking employment due to loss of jobs in the gulf and to help companies in the effected regions return to full capacity. This will help in the rebuilding and recovery efforts,†ASSE President Jack H. Dobson, Jr., CSP, said today. “Another key part of recovery and rebuilding is safety and health. Our membership is made up of occupational safety, health and environmental professionals with key experience in every aspect of workplace safety whether it be in construction, transportation, utilities, oil and gas, the public sector, manufacturing and more, they have the expertise to provide guidance and programs to ensure safety and health for workers and the general public during and after the rebuilding effort.â€
In 2004 ASSE launched Nexsteps on its www.asse.org web site to assist occupational safety, health and environmental practitioners advance their careers and help employers find quality job candidates. The interactive job service is available for free for those searching for a position. Normally there is a nominal fee for employers to post their job openings.
"Nexsteps is another way we as the oldest and largest professional safety society help our members, and, employers, find top professionals to develop and implement effective safety, health and environmental programs," Dobson said. “Now Nexsteps can help rebuild a major part of America in the wake of one of the country’s worst disasters.â€
