OnStar for Your Gas Detection Program

How are organizations leveraging historical and real-time data to keep workers safe? As with auto safety systems and services, one type of data isn't enough for your gas detection program.

One of the easiest ways to monitor safety metrics is by using a safety management software. As you improve your safety performance analysis, you’ll need a system that can handle the influx of data, give you access to real-time metrics, and help you glean valuable insights hidden within the flood of information.

Why Do Safety Inspections?

Work site safety inspections can be a vital part of your injury prevention efforts if done well.

"If a bystander is not trained in CPR, then the bystander should provide hands-only CPR. The rescuer should continue hands-only CPR until an automated external defibrillator arrives and is ready for use or EMS providers take over care of the victim."

Encouraging Hands-Only CPR

A study published in Circulation last year found that CPR knowledge and confidence to use hands-only CPR can be increased through large-scale community training.
