Occupational Health and Safety

What Occupational Health and Safety does

Occupational Health and Safety (OHSOnline.com) is a B2B trade media publication serving the occupational health and safety professional community in the United States and, through its digital properties, globally. Founded in 1932 and currently operated as a brand within 1105 Media Inc.'s portfolio of professional B2B publications, OHS delivers multi-channel content including a monthly print and digital magazine, daily editorial coverage of OSHA regulations and enforcement, a weekly email newsletter, the SafetyPod podcast, sponsored webinars, white papers, an industry awards program (Industrial Hygiene Awards and New Product of the Year), a product directory and buyers guide, and a career network. The platform is structured as a media-partnership and sponsorship business rather than a product/SaaS business, with no proprietary safety technology.

OHS monetizes primarily through advertising and sponsorship sales to safety product manufacturers, PPE vendors, safety software firms, training providers, and occupational health service companies (named sponsors include MSA Safety, Avetta, Vector Solutions, Moldex, SHOEBOX, Howard Leight by PIP, Medcor, Examinetics, Axiom Medical, HeroWear, BSI Consulting, Novara, and SoloProtect). Secondary revenue comes from paid digital and print subscriptions (print limited to U.S. addresses), directory listings, list rentals, and reprints. Audience reach spans EHS professionals across construction, manufacturing, oil & gas, healthcare, transportation, and government, with on-site editorial coverage and media partnerships at major industry conferences including VPPPA Safety+ and ASSP Safety.

The company's go-to-market is event-driven and sales-led, leveraging industry conferences, webinars, newsletters, and social channels to engage the EHS professional audience while a direct sales team sells advertising, webinar sponsorships, white paper co-branding, and directory inventory to safety solution vendors. Operations are run by a small team (11–50 employees across the OHS brand and its parent publishing operations) under publisher/executive editor David Kopf, assistant editor Jesse Jacobs, and content editor Stasia DeMarco.

• Industrial Safety & Hygiene News (ISHN): B2B magazine serving industrial safety, occupational health, and hygiene professionals with feature articles, news, and product coverage. Overlaps substantially with OHS in target audience (EHS/safety managers), content verticals (PPE, industrial hygiene, regulations), and advertising sales motion.
• EHS Today: B2B trade publication covering environmental, health, and safety topics for EHS professionals across industries. Closely comparable to Occupational Health & Safety in audience (EHS managers and directors), content focus (compliance, PPE, safety technology), and advertising/sponsorship revenue model.
• Environmental Protection Magazine: Sister publication within 1105 Media covering environmental safety, sustainability, and EHS-adjacent content. Comparable as a B2B trade media property sharing the same parent publishing platform, operations, and overlapping EHS professional audience.

Emerging players

• VelocityEHS (ERA Environmental): EHS software provider with a content and resource library targeting EHS professionals. Compares to OHS in serving the same practitioner audience for compliance and safety content, but monetizes primarily through software subscriptions rather than advertising/sponsorship.
• SafetyCulture: Digital-native EHS operations platform that has expanded into content distribution, webinars, and a practitioner media presence. Represents the emerging class of software-first EHS entrants that bundle native content and community with software, competing for both OHS's audience and advertiser spend.

• American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP): Largest U.S. professional society for safety practitioners, publishing member-facing content, professional development resources, and Safety magazine. Comparable as a publisher reaching the same EHS professional audience, but operating as a broader professional membership organization rather than a standalone trade publication.

Regional players

• Occupational Health & Wellbeing: UK-based publication covering occupational health, workplace wellbeing, and safety topics. Comparable editorial scope to Occupational Health & Safety for OH professionals, but primarily serves a UK/European audience rather than the U.S.-focused OHS readership.
