From transportation to manufacturing, interconnected mobile apps and Wi-Fi-enabled software programs have made it easier to share, record, and analyze important safety information.
Vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) is a popular and efficient method of bio-decontamination. It’s used in a variety of commercial, institutional and industrial settings to decontaminate or sterilize sealed enclosures such as filling machines, barrier isolators, glove boxes and workbenches.
In construction and industry, some potential hazards visibly manifest, such as the risk of falls from heights. Others are more hidden. A confined space may not look dangerous, but workers perish each year because someone assumed the air inside was safe to breathe when testing would have revealed that is wasn’t.
With technology incorporated in nearly every aspect of our lives, you’ve probably wondered more than once whether someone was watching your every move.

Broadly speaking, a confined space is an area that is large enough for a worker to enter and do work, but that is difficult to get in and out of easily, and not designed or intended for regular occupancy.
IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, recently produced a paper1 reviewing 100 years of research on shock and arc injuries. Going back, the first recognized hazard to workers was the shock hazard.
On Demand During this webinar, we will share knowledge, real world examples, and lessons learned from years of Safety Management Experience gained from working with OSHA, and various industries including defense, construction, utilities, and industrial facilities management.
