NSC Calls for Distracted Driving Legislation


Distracted Driving Awareness Month began on Sunday, April 1, and the National Safety Council is urging legislators across the country to observe by enacting comprehensive laws to further prevent distracted driving injuries and deaths.

Workers Want Help Managing Distractions


Distractions in the workplace are making most employees less productive, frustrated and unhappy, according to a recent report from Udemy, an online education company.

Employers Can Stop Workplace Bullying When They Know How


The recent focus on sexual harassment renews interest in tackling this related behavior. If your company doesn't have a program to eliminate employee bullying, you need to start one right away.

Workplace Violence Prevention Plans Now Required at California Hospitals


State law now requires California healthcare facilities to have comprehensive plans to protect clinicians from workplace violence. The mandate, which went into effect April 1 and applies to all acute-care hospitals and skilled-nursing facilities in California, is part of a law that passed in 2014.

Positive and Negative Workplace Safety Vibes


Do folks suddenly disappear when you as safety manager come around? Do they avoid reporting close calls and minor injuries? This is avoidance. Fix this; associate yourself with pleasant feelings and your touch will be golden.

Sleep Deprived Workers are Bad for Business


Insomnia is costing U.S. companies more than $63 billion a year, according to a new white paper that examines the toll that insufficient sleep takes on safety and productivity at work.

A Noisy Workplace Might Affect Your Heart


Millions of people are exposed to excessive noise at work, finds a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This affects not only their hearing, but also their heart health.

For Tree Workers, Stronger Storms Pose Deadly Hazards


Tree care workers have one of the nation's most perilous jobs, and the danger could grow as climate change increases the risk to trees from major storms, diseases, insects, drought and fire, experts warn.

Steering Clear of the Fire and Shock Hazards


Hot work should not be done where flammable vapors or combustible materials exist. Both the work and the equipment being used by the welder should be placed outside any hazardous area.

Would You Like Phthalates with That?


Our meat is stuffed with antibiotics, our water is full of plastic particles, and our produce is laden with pesticides. Here's one more contaminant to add to the list: phthalates. People who enjoy dining out are consuming more of these harmful chemicals than those who cook at home.

Navigating Occupational Hazards for the Pregnant Nurse


Nursing is a vocation rife with occupational hazards. They are expected to help lift, move, and transfer patients several times per day, and face many potential musculoskeletal injuries. It is not surprising, then, that many nurses worry about the risks inherent in their daily job descriptions once they are expecting.
