Try a different approach at your next safety meeting

Okay, let's face it! After several years of safety meetings you've settled into a rut. Employees come in, sit down and promptly proceed to nap while the speaker drones on and on and on. It isn't that the company or even the employees don't believe in safety, it's just that there's a shortage of creativity and imagination.


Try a DVD instead! Convergence, a company out of Texas, has come up with a number of DVDs that cover a broad gamut of safety related topics of various lengths.

Working Outdoors around Electricity

Most of what we do on a daily basis is powered by electricity. Power networks run the width and breadth of the country powering businesses and homes. In some cases, the power is overhead in power lines that we can see and in other cases the power is buried in underground cables; either way, contact with electricity can cause serious injury or kill.


Whether you are outdoors working with a ladder or doing work up on the roof, whether you are using heavy equipment or whether you are diggi

Yeah, I've got that on my "to do" list. I try to write articles and then make them available for download. This weeks series on eye protection is going to be available as a .doc at the end of the week.
Our website at www.nationalsafetyinc.com also has some of the other articles I've written available for free download as well.
I want to eventually have powerpoints available for download as well for use in safety meetings, training, etc... but that's down the road a ways. Thanks for the suggestion.

You are pretty good at this kind of blogging stuff....really good....with excellent content. Is there a way to add a power point to a blog or gizmo area?

The biggest issue I have with hand protection is making sure that my Plater techs and maintenance techs have their chemical gloves on when dealing with our plating area.
