Human Resources
BLR began publishing for the Human Resources field with a newsletter for HR managers, then gradually expanded into other areas, such as How to Hire the People You Need Without Discriminating and What Every Employee Should Do About Sexual Harassment.
In 1985 BLR launched one of its most ambitious products - What
to Do about Personnel Problems in [Your State]. The state-specific
series is designed to help HR managers stay in compliance with all applicable
federal and state laws. Currently it is used by over 100,000 companies,
and the series is the only one of its kind. It helps subscribing companies
stay in compliance in human resources regulations, compensation, and employee
benefits.
Today BLR covers a wide array of Human Resources products to fit the
many needs of the HR professional. Products include the 10-Minute
HR Trainer, offering prewritten training in less than 10 minutes,
and SalarySearch,
a CD product that determines salary levels at the touch of a button.
Environment
BLR provides a state-specific reference guide for environmental professionals
with its Environmental Compliance in [Your State]. The series covers all
environmental issues from asbestos monitoring to hazardous waste. BLR
also publishes the Environmental
Manager's Compliance Advisor, a bimonthly newsletter that provides
EHS managers the latest environmental changes in a quick-read format.
Recently BLR announced Super-Reg™
Environmental Compliance in [Your State] Version 2.0., a CD-ROM reference
that was developed to make the environmental manager's job easier by providing
plain-English explanations of federal and state laws, compliance advice,
strategies, and more.
Safety
BLR's involvement in workplace safety dates from 1985, when the federal
government's "Right-to-Know" law became effective. BLR responded to this
important new requirement by publishing the OSHA
Compliance Advisor newsletter and the three-volume OSHA Compliance
Encyclopedia, as well as pocket guides and posters on safety topics and
other critical workplace issues.
Today BLR offers a variety of safety products designed to provide Safety
Managers effective OSHA-required training tools. Products include Safety
Training Presentations, offering customized training in PowerPoint®
and the 7-Minute Safety
Trainer, providing prewritten training in 7 minutes flat.
