Daniel M. Hogan is the founder and editor of Hogan's Safety Seminary. In 2006, Hogan saw a need for some specific publications to compliment his training programs, finding that photo copies were not quite adequate. To address that situation, he started the on-line publishing company Hogan's Safety Seminary. This publishing company provided cost effective and professional handout materials to compliment classroom education and training and provided good reference materials to pass along to subcontractors. Several of the subcontractors attending the classes asked where they could purchase the materials and they were made available through this on-line publishing company.
