According to OSHA, eye injuries alone cost more than $300 million per year in lost production time, medical expenses, and worker compensation.

Beyond ANSI: Obtaining the Best Possible Eye Protection

Inarguably, form must follow function. That doesn't mean, however, that form has to trail by a large distance.

The design of a safety electrical work environment begins with an arc flash assessment.

Stepping Up the Pace

It's go time! The 2014 health insurance exchange deadline is officially looming for all states.



OSHA's Stance on Safety Incentive Programs

Do they work, or do they just discourage employees from reporting injuries?

Major Changes in the OSHA HazCom Standard

Considerable testing of chemicals that are handled in the workplace may be required. This could include flash point, reactivity, or corrosivity.

There are a wide variety of fume, gases, and organic vapors to be considered when determining exposures during welding operations.

Welding Fume Exposures and Controls: Do We Know Enough?

It is safe to assume that we never know enough, or at least don't know all that we need to know. Recent changes to hexavalent chromium and beryllium protection requirements should teach us this lesson.

Some argue the drenching time shoudl be extended to a minimum of 20 and even 30 minutes of tepid water. (Alpine Technical Services/Showers & Eyebaths Services Ltd photo)

Are You Putting Your Employees at Risk?

When the contaminant is a burn-inducing chemical, some argue the drenching time should be extended to a minimum of 20 and even 30 minutes of tepid water.

Because labs have different chemicals and equipment, the required safety plans for each location may vary.

A Dozen Safety Plans Laboratories May Need

These plans are instrumental to ensuring compliance and keeping workers safe.

Often a seemingly small incident can create other risks and lead to further accidents. (Mastery Technologies photo)

Don't Let Your Job Run You Down

There is flexibility in determining the best method to warn others working in the area of backing vehicles and equipment.

Curbing Forklift Hazards

Most safety signs in facilities today communicate partial information. The newer technology is better.

Routine Safety Audits Pay Dividends

Fork trucks were constantly driving in and out of the aisle. Fork truck traffic in the aisle and dock area was especially heavy during peak packaging runs.

Breaking Down the Barriers to Effective Learning

Today's "distance education" can be achieved from virtually anywhere and any time in the world in multiple formats.
