About our workplace safety blog
Every article on the Life and Safety workplace safety blog is written by EHS professionals who spend their days on manufacturing floors, construction sites, and in healthcare and government facilities. Since 1997, our consultants have helped organizations across the United States build safety programs that hold up to an inspection, and this blog shares what we see in the field: changes to OSHA standards and enforcement priorities, practical steps for programs like hazard communication and recordkeeping, and emerging risks such as lithium battery and energy storage hazards.
Use these articles to brief your crew, update a written program, or prepare for an OSHA visit. When you need help applying any of it at your site, our consultants can audit your program, train your workforce, or provide on-site EHS support.
