Yesterday’s Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene (FIH) class got a hands-on boost thanks to a special visit from Cole Klosterman of TSI Incorporated!

Students had the opportunity to see demonstrations of industrial hygiene equipment in action and learn how precision measurement instruments are used to identify and control workplace hazards. From monitoring air quality and aerosols to measuring airflow and particulates, the technology demonstrated showed exactly how data becomes protection in the field.

FIH is all about building the foundation of recognizing, evaluating, and controlling hazards before they become incidents. A big thank you to TSI for helping bring this course to life and showing how the right equipment and data play a critical role in protecting workers and environments.

February is American Heart Month❤️, a reminder that cardiac emergencies can happen anywhere and without warning.

When a heart stops or someone goes into distress, the outcome often depends on one thing: whether the people nearby know what to do. First Aid, CPR, and AED training turns bystanders into responders and uncertainty into action when seconds matter most.

Whether you are preparing yourself to respond or stepping into a leadership role as an instructor, Heart Month is the perfect time take that initiative to make sure you are ready.

Presented by experts from the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma and the UM R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, this course gives civilians the skills to act in emergencies that happen in real life.

Substance use continues to change and grow as the years pass.
The responsibility to recognize impairment has not.

Supervisors and safety leaders are still expected to make the call, document it correctly, and protect their workforce.

A strong safety culture depends on preparation. On knowing what impairment looks like, understanding the limits of testing, and being ready to respond when a situation escalates. Not after the fact, but in the moment.

This two day training experience brings together three connected courses designed to build that confidence:

✔ Impairment Education and Recognition Workshop (FREE)
✔ Reasonable Suspicion for Supervisors Trainer Course
✔ Naloxone Trainer (FREE)

📅 January 29–30, 2026
📍 Baltimore, MD

Because clear judgment is a safety tool.
