OSHA Issues Directive on Communicating with Family Following a Workplace Fatality


A new OSHA directive guides OSHA representatives in communicating investigation procedures with family members following a workplace fatality. The guidance is geared to ensure that OSHA representatives speak to the worker's family early in the inspection process, establish a point of contact, and maintain a working relationship with the family.


"OSHA is committed to working with families to explain the circumstances surrounding the deaths of their loved ones," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, Dr. David Michaels. "This directive ensures that OSHA receives the necessary information from the family to assist in the investigation and keeps the family informed throughout the investigation and settlement processes."

Does Your Staff Need To Improve Their Situational Awareness? By Dennis Evers


Over the years mankind has tried to eliminate most of the dangers associated with life. However, for a myriad of reasons, we have lost most of our inherent “critical thinking” abilities, one of which is Situational Awareness. Over- simplified, Situational Awareness (SA) is being cognizant of what is going on around us at any given time, and making appropriate decisions based upon information and experience in order to attempt to achieve a desired outcome.

Ultimately your survival might depend upon a single simple decision, made in a millisecond. We live in extremely perilous times, and with increased dangers from natural and man-made disasters, workplace violence, crime and countless other scenarios, an increased sense of SA is an essential tool in ones survival arsenal. If you increase awareness of what is happening around you, through all of your senses, you can increase your SA skills.
