GLASC Members:

Finding safety videos that are both watchable and informative is tough.  This is a video on fall protection that I thought was a nice combination.  It is only about 11 minutes, but it might serve as a good orientation to your employees.

A couple years ago GLASC hosted a presentation on the subject of arch flash.  I don’t think anyone was prepared for what they saw in this video.

 

Elaine Doss gave me this link that is amazing on many levels.  We can chuckle about what we see here, but, make no mistake, someone is going to get hurt.

There aren’t too many construction disasters more famous than this one. GLASC had a presentation some time back, and this accident was featured.

I thought this was interesting.  NIOSH offers a long list of free publications for safety professionals.  Explore this to see if any are of interest to you. I stole this link from a Twitter feed for NIOSH.

Todd Denney of Ritz Safety will be our host for the Wednesday, April 10th, 2013 meeting of GLASC. Plan on meeting at the Ivy Tech Corporate Learning Center; 823 Park East Blvd in Lafayette, IN 47903.

The topic is an important one for all of us–AED Trainers.  

Ritz Safety’s web site is: http://www.ritzsafety.com.  Don’t hesitate to visit Ritz’s site so you have plenty of questions for our speaker.

RSVP to Elaine Doss, 765-269-5884, [email protected]

Lunch will be provided.

I want thank everyone on the nice comments about this new site.  I’m doing this on WordPress.com and that makes the job far easier than other blog sites that I have fiddled with.  For those who are interested, if you are asked to put a web site together for any group (community organization, professional organization, etc.) WordPress is a good way to go.

The nice thing about WordPress is that it is “blog” centered.  This allows the site authors to quickly update information to the web site.  Web sites are, all too often, stagnant.  This stagnation means that Google will not seek out the site frequently, and you are less likely to be seen on Google searches.  Yahoo and others are the same.  This issue is called SEO (search engine optimization).  Simply, the more you change the site the more likely your site is to be discovered and read by customers.

Continue with your comment and suggestions, please.  If nothing else, see me at our next GLASC meeting.

Best,

Mark Brandyberry, CM
