Proposed cuts to OHSA have everyone scratching their heads, but here’s one thing you know for sure: Worker’s Compensation insurance premiums will still be directly tied to the number of incidents at your facility. What can you do?

When you’re training people, don’t make the timing of breaks a guessing game. When trainees know when the next break is coming, they’ll focus much better on what you’re teaching right now.

If you attended my Sure-Fire Demonstration presentation at GOSH 2025, what do you remember about it? I’m betting it isn’t what I said. It’s the activities you did.

Activities are powerful teaching methods. It’s how most of us humans are built to learn. When you incorporate them in your training, you create “AHA” moments that drive meaningful behavior changes.

When organizations fail to respond to OSHA findings that require repeat safety training, they are playing with financial fire. Here are some ways that can help you make sure repeat training is effective and fulfills OHSA directives.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and making new friends at the ASSP SAFETY24 conference and expo this week!

“I guess I just forgot.” How many times have you heard this excuse while conducting incident investigations? Probably too often. And I’ll bet it drives you mad.

Okay, be honest now. Do you have a well-planned and systematic training development process as required by ANSI Z490.1?

Recently I read an OSHA finding about a startup logging operation that had a young new-hire killed on the job.
