Robin L. Barton, Esq.
Editor - Safety Compliance Insider, Environmental Compliance Insider, OHS Insider
Robin has been the editor of Safety Compliance Insider since July 2006. She is also the editor of Environmental Compliance Insider. Bongarde hired Robin because she is a lawyer and a journalist specializing in writing about the law in plain English and providing practical guidance on how to comply with it.
Robin wasn’t always a journalist. For a rewarding eight years, she was a big city prosecutor who started out handling basic street crime and eventually moved up to numerous long-term investigations (some involving wiretaps) into crimes ranging from drug trafficking to union corruption by the mob.
Burnout and exhaustion led Robin to pursue her second love—journalism—at a small legal publisher. She wrote about legal compliance issues related to shopping center and office building management, public and private school management, fair housing law, health care administration and e-commerce.
