Safety Resources had it’s 25,000 hit on Friday (thanks to a very busy Thursday).  Not bad for a site that is only a couple of months old.

For most of us, safety is a career and we receive paychecks, so we all do this for our own reasons.  When we think of the results of our work, however, we see that when we are successful, people do not get hurt, or worse.  Measuring success in our line of work means measuring something that doesn’t happen.  We can look at injury rates and see a decline, but we may never know of the ‘big one’ that was prevented.

So for all of you who made the 25,000 happen – thanks, and realize that out there, you have done something that although you may not know exactly when you helped someone stop a back strain, keep a finger or hand, or kept them alive – you will have done that with your work.  Again – it is a job, and we receive paychecks, but it is good work.

Please feel free to let me know of areas that you may need materials or help with, or even better, if you know of sources that provide free, copyright free materials, let me know and I will be sure to post here.

Thanks to those in the 111 countries that have visited this site.  You are doing good work.

Be sure to check out our Facebook Page – comment, share ideas, keep workers safe.  That’s the important part, right?

Great post on OSHA, unions, setting up safety committees, etc.

Thanks to everyone who has visited Safety Resources world wide.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make the site better, or any information that would assist in keeping people safe.  

To all of the safety professionals out there – we all do this for our own reasons, but in the end, when we do our job, people do not get hurt.  Regardless of your reason – good job!  

Most of what I post is from various American sources, with Canada also being represented. Anything the rest of you want/need?

Leave a comment and I will see what I can do.

Be safe everyone.

All of you should have this – but if you forgot, and that inspector is pulling up, hurry up and print this.  Your blue and yellow ink will be all gone, but a $30 ink cartridge is worth an OSHA citation and fine, right?
