BNA launches new web site and adds portfolio to its corporate library. (Launches).

This month BNA Inc. unveiled safety.bna.com, a new web-based product to meet the information needs of safety engineers and managers. "This product was designed to fill a crucial gap in the needs of safety professionals by offering a topic-based information resource that combines BNA's acclaimed data with the best of the free web," said Mark Kozeal, market manager for BNA's environment, health, and safety product line.

Audrey Hipkins, executive editor of BNA's Environment, Health & Safety Information Services, said safety engineers, consultants, and compliance directors "have long asked for stronger, more detailed information on how to comply with complex regulations--including a good summary of prioritized steps, associated risks, and related case law. That's what safety bna.com provides."

BNA has provided coverage of developments in law and regulation for more than 70 years and has been covering worker safety and health issues continuously since the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was established in 1971.

Portfolio #78

Businesses incorporated under Delaware law that want to minimize their exposure to corporate takeovers should consider a range of defensive measures, such as "poison pill" shareholder rights' plans, staggering the terms of members of the board of directors, or bylaw provisions that require advance notice of certain shareholder proposals, corporate legal expert Craig B. Smith advised in a recent issue of BNAs Corporate Counsel Weekly.

Smith is also the author of the new BNA portfolio The Takeover Law of Delaware. Both the portfolio (number 78 in the series) and the weekly notification service Corporate Counsel Weekly are part of BNAs Corporate Practice Library, which was launched as a web service in 2001. Both are also available in print. 1231 25th St., NW Washington, DC 20037, 202-452-4200, www.bna.com
