Safety is not a moment. It is a mindset built into every part of the day.

A day on a California wind project with Ruben Rodriguez Diaz, SMP, shows what that mindset looks like in action. From the morning stretch-and-flex that prepares crews for the demands ahead to the precision and teamwork required during a blade lift, safety remains the foundation of every operation.

We are proud of Ruben’s leadership, professionalism, and strong field presence on complex projects like this. His commitment to safety helps ensure every worker is prepared, protected, and able to return home safely at the end of the day.

OSHA’s Top 10 Violations in 2025: A Noteworthy Shift

Each year, the National Safety Council publishes OSHA’s top violations and citations in Safety & Health magazine. For the 15th consecutive year, fall protection-related violations once again topped the list across most regions. That trend held true in 2025, with one notable exception.

In recent years, OSHA transitioned from numbered regions to named regions, including Denver, San Francisco, Kansas City, Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia, Birmingham, Boston, New York City, and Atlanta. While the names changed, there are still ten regions, generally aligning with the former structure.

It is also important to remember that 22 states operate OSHA-approved plans covering both private and public sector employees, with five additional states covering only state and local government workers. That means 27 states have their own OSHA jurisdiction, while the remaining states fall under federal OSHA. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands also operate under OSHA-approved plans. Because OSHA has limited jurisdiction in state plan states, the data can be somewhat skewed.

For 2025, fall protection general requirements ranked number one in every region except one. Hazard communication, ladders, scaffolding, and powered industrial trucks consistently rounded out the top five nationwide.

The surprise this year came from the San Francisco Region, which includes Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, California, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii. In that region, electrical general requirements ranked as the top violation, with hazard communication coming in second. Fall protection dropped to third.

I cannot recall another time when electrical violations topped the list in any OSHA region. In fact, electrical violations did not appear in the top five in any of the other nine regions and were not included in OSHA’s national top 10.

At first glance, kudos may be in order for the San Francisco Region. Employers there appear to be making progress, with fall protection violations dropping from the top spot. That said, there is no supporting data explaining why electrical violations increased so sharply, which will require further investigation.

As with any data, it offers insight but not always answers. For now, it is worth acknowledging that progress appears to be happening, at least in one region, and that is something worth recognizing.

🔥 New Episode: “What’s Your Y?” with Ron deBruyne — Driving Safety Forward with Simplicity and Real Results
In our latest episode, we sit down with Ron deBruyne, Founder & CEO of Wombat Software Inc, a leader reimagining how organizations manage workplace safety and compliance.
Ron shares how Wombat is more than just a tool — it’s a game-changer in the safety industry because it simplifies what has traditionally been complex. Developed with real users in mind and guided by a principle they call the 12 Second Rule, Wombat’s platform is intentionally intuitive so teams can get work done without frustration or unnecessary training.
🎯 In this conversation, Ron explains his “why”: transforming safety from a paperwork burden into an empowering, strategic part of how teams operate. For him, safety should feel seamless in the field, clear in the office, and actionable everywhere in between. Wombat’s mobile-first design ensures crews know exactly what to do next — whether they are on a job site, in a truck, or offline — helping safety stick where it matters most.
💡 Whether you’re in safety, operations, leadership, or consulting, this episode reveals why purpose matters in safety technology. Ron’s dedication to simplicity isn’t about ease for its own sake — it’s about empowering people to protect people. That purpose turns compliance into confidence, data into action, and safety into everyday practice.

🎄 As the holidays approach, we spend more time on our feet, lifting, carrying, reaching, and working long days to finish the year strong. It is also the perfect time to talk about one of the quietest safety risks on the job: ergonomic injuries.

Ergonomic injuries affect joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves, and they build up slowly. At first they may feel minor, like sore feet from uncomfortable shoes, but over time they can lead to serious musculoskeletal disorders that keep workers off the job and away from their families.

Ergonomics is not just a desk job issue. In the field, these injuries are one of the leading causes of lost work time and costly claims. Nearly one third of days away from work cases are tied to ergonomics related injuries, costing employers billions each year. Worse, these injuries can linger long after the holidays are over.

The good news is that proven controls work. Using mechanical lifting equipment, rotating tasks, pushing instead of pulling, choosing the right tools, maintaining proper posture, and treating vehicles as an extension of the job site can dramatically reduce risk.

This season, give your team a gift that lasts longer than the holidays 🎁 Protect their health, mobility, and ability to come home safe every day.

Good form. Good function. Good health.

Being a safety professional on the road requires creativity, flexibility, and a willingness to see every project from a new perspective.

This photo was shared by T. Rand Collins PhD MD CHST, a long-time member of the ISS team and a gifted photographer. It captures the spirit of what many of us experience while supporting projects across the country. The work takes us to remote locations and unexpected landscapes, and the solutions we create often depend on our ability to adapt and stay resourceful.

Dr. Collins travels with a compact Chalet trailer, a small but impressively efficient setup that has become his happy place on the road. It opens into a tall A frame interior that feels surprisingly roomy. Large windows bring in natural light. It holds a kitchen, a small shower, and everything he needs to work and rest. He even added custom shelving and a solar power system so he can stay self sufficient in the backcountry.

For safety professionals who spend significant time traveling, a small trailer or RV can be a powerful tool. You pack and unpack only once. You sleep in your own bed. You cook your own meals. You keep your personal items organized exactly how you like them. It becomes a mobile home base that makes demanding travel more comfortable and more cost effective, especially as hotel and restaurant prices continue to rise.

Many professionals today are even working full time while on the road, connecting to their office through satellite systems like Starlink. A well kept used trailer can be an affordable option, and as Dr. Collins reminds us, it is just as valuable for family memories as it is for project work.

Ingenuity like this is what keeps our teams moving, solving problems, and staying safe wherever the work takes us. Leave a comment with your best advice for the road.

This week’s What’s Up Wednesday is all about staying safe on the road as winter conditions settle in. Snow, ice, low visibility, and rapidly changing weather can turn even familiar routes into high-risk environments. A little extra caution goes a long way toward keeping you, your coworkers, and your community safe.
Winter driving safety starts with preparation. Checking tire pressure, clearing windows, allowing extra time for travel, and slowing down on slick surfaces all reduce the chances of an incident. Small choices made before and during a drive can make the biggest difference. Safe habits protect not just you, but everyone who shares the road.
A strong safety culture means staying alert, planning ahead, and understanding how winter hazards affect our decisions. When we drive with care and respect for changing conditions, we support reliable operations, protect our teams, and help ensure that everyone arrives home safely.
🎥 Watch this week’s video for practical winter driving tips that can help you stay ready for the season.
