IBT Introduces On-Line Virtual Safety Manager



May 1, 2009

IBT, Inc., a full-service industrial distributor whose product offering includes extensive health and safety merchandise, announces the introduction of a new on-line program, Virtual Safety Manager (www.virtualsafetymanager.com), a web-based comprehensive service that enables subscribers to operate compliant health and safety programs with reduced administrative costs and without adding staff.

The IBT Virtual Safety Manager offers a thorough and effective safety management and administration program which will lead to safer workers, fewer worksite accidents, reduced workers' comp claims and reduced insurance premiums.

Both highly functional and highly flexible, Virtual Safety Manager (VSM) enables subscribing companies to develop programs that bundle preparation of safety manuals, training programs, reporting and tracking of individual workers, into one intuitive and easy-to-use package.

According to IBT Safety Business Group Director, Gary Porter, "VSM not only works well, it is truly an effective way to manage safety and health.

"Companies who adopt VSM show corporate leadership and commitment to safety. Our beta tests have shown that users definitely like VSM and use it to improve the quality and effectiveness of their health and safety programs."

Available to subscribers for a reasonable annual fee, Virtual Safety Manager provides true professional safety management around the clock, for far less than the cost of employing additional safety professionals. And it never needs a day off.

To find out more about Virtual Safety Manager - and how this innovative new program can lower your industrial health and safety risks while improving your OSHA regulatory compliance, go to the web site: www.virtualsafetymanager.com.

IBT, Inc., headquartered in Merriam, Kansas, is celebrating its sixtieth year in business in 2009. The company, which has 41 locations and more than 400 employees, was founded by the late Forrest L. and Bonnie Cloud. It is still owned and managed by the Cloud family, which has members of the third generation now actively involved in day-to-day operations.

As an industrial distributor, IBT represents more than 5,000 suppliers and stocks approximately 330,000 different items. They sell into the manufacturing, processing, material handling and food industries.
