We're excited to sponsor and attend these events in September! We hope to see you (virtually) at one of these events
In our last Industrial Hygiene blog, Airflow in the Laboratory, we discussed the importance of evaluating the airflow of a lab as a whole, and that there's no one magic ACH (Air Change per Hour) number that automatically makes the lab safer.
As I mentioned in last week’s blog, Prevent Blindness has deemed March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month. This non-profit organization is currently promoting awareness about the dangers of blue light exposure from computers, televisions, and device screens including smartphones and tablet screens.
OSHA’s 7th annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls will be taking place during the week of September 14th – 18th, 2020. This is a voluntary event meant to raise fall hazard awareness across the country to stop fall fatalities and injuries.
This week we participated in and moderated a panel discussion webinar called A Primer on Moving Out, where industry experts shared their insights on the key factors that make a successful move to a new lab space possible. We enjoyed spending time with hundreds of you on the call!
To honor OSHA's 2020 Safe+Sound Week we are sharing another story from our recently released Incidents, Accidents, and Near Misses in Lab Research, Vol. 5.
The fourth annual OSHA Safe + Sound Week is being held August 10-16, 2020. This national event is intended to promote the value of workplace health and safety programs. Employers are encouraged to hold events and activities that highlight the elements of their health and safety program during this week
Safety Partners is thrilled to announce the publication of its 5th edition of "Incidents, Accidents, and Near Misses in Laboratory Research." This collection of real life safety lessons has just been mailed to clients and many friends. Look for it in your (actual) mailbox!
Where are you working nowadays? If you said “the dining room table” or “the couch”, you’re not alone and this blog post is for you.
Safety Partners’ is about to release our 5th version of Incidents, Accidents, and Near Misses in Laboratory Research which includes a real-life story of a lab employee who developed a chemical sensitivity to a commonly used lab chemical.
On June 18th, OSHA issued Guidance on Returning to Work to assist employers reopening non-essential businesses and their employees returning to work during the Coronavirus pandemic. The guidance supplements OSHA’s previously published Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19.
