Safety Materials
Lightning Safety Week
June 21 – 27 is National Lightning Safety Week. There are some good materials for work or home on the National Weather Service web page. Click here to check them out.
Is lightning a serious safety issue for you or your company? There were more people killed by lightning last year than working in Metal/Nonmetal mines. Check it out, it’s shocking! (okay, I apologize… I just had to add that last bit.)
Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System Tree
NIOSH has created an easy to use tree system to look up the classification code for occupational injury and illnesses. If you need that kind of thing, which you might if you're searching for information on MSHA's injury database it's a helpful tool. I've added a link on our Regulatory Information page at under NIOSH Resources. Click here to go there now.
Tire Safety Web Page
Our friends to the north in Canada have a nice page on tire safety that may be good for training or even some Off-the-Job training materials. There's lots of technical information presented inn a friendly manner and even fact sheets including one on Tire Inflation Facts: Proper tire inflation contributes to cleaner air, protects your family and saves you money, a perfect title for the newly GREEN and GAS PRICE battered drivers. Check it out at the links and at www.betiresmart.ca. Let us know what you find and how you use it or if you have any other links to share.
