As we approach Halloween here in the United States, I always think about post-Halloween shopping opportunities that can help provide props for my training supply cabinet. After Halloween, most Halloween items are discounted so it’s a good time to visit a Halloween store with the intention of identifying items you can use to add interactivity to your safety training. I am happy to share an idea book for you to get you started. Just click here to download. If you’d like to watch a video overview (5 minutes), click here.
In the meantime, I thought I’d share a photo of one of my dogs, ready for trick-or-treating as a safety pro. Happy Halloween!
OSHA’s Top Ten for 2021 (Preliminary)
At the recent National Safety Council Conference, the likely list of the top ten OSHA citations for 2021 was shared. These are “likely” because the official list will not be published until early next year. I’ll create a collection of training activities to go along with these and include them in the VIP edition of March 2022 newsletter but for now, take a look at where the most citations were issued. There are a few changes from last year. Can you identify them?
Ask the Expert
In this month’s Ask the Expert infographic, John Chen shares his advice for increasing virtual engagement. I just finished up attending and serving as an ambassador for the TechLearn Virtual 2021 conference where John was producing and emceeing many sessions of the Conference. He did an amazing job of keeping the level of interaction high and we can all learn many things from him.
