Your evening commute is about to get a whole lot darker.

Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, November 2nd. This marks when we fall back one hour at 2:00 AM. Don't forget to adjust your clocks before bed.

With the time change, expect it to get darker earlier in the afternoon. If you work outdoors, expect darker hours at the tail end of your workday, and be extra careful on the roads and sidewalks during your evening commute.

Safety Reminders:
1. Drivers: Watch for workers, pedestrians, cyclists, and children who may be harder to see in the dim light. Increase your following distance.
2. Pedestrians, Workers & Cyclists: Wear bright or reflective clothing. If possible, use a flashlight or bike lights. Cross at designated crosswalks.
3. Home Safety: To lessen the effects of insomnia brought on by the time change, go to sleep and wake up an hour earlier, lessening the time gradually to the new Standard Time schedule.

Today, on National First Responders Day, we pause to reflect on the profound debt of gratitude and honor we owe to the selfless individuals who serve on the front lines of every crisis.

These are the heroes—our police officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and all emergency personnel—who consistently place the well-being of strangers above their own safety.

The honor we extend to them is not merely for the courage they display in extraordinary moments of danger, but for the countless hours of training, the emotional toll they carry, and their unwavering commitment to answering the call, day or night. Their dedication is the bedrock of our community's safety and resilience.

To every first responder: thank you for your sacrifice, your service, and the heavy burdens you bear. We recognize your invaluable contribution today and every day.

Over 50% of employees in the U.S. don't know where their workplace AED is. In a crisis situation, this single factor could mean a 50/50 chance of life or death.

To make matters worse, the chances of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest decreases 10% with every minute that passes without defibrillation, with a 90% chance of survival if shocked in the first minute. CPR may buy you time, but only an AED can restart a heart.

Today is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Day.

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen to anyone, anywhere, with an estimated 10,000 cases that occur in US workplaces annually.

Don't wait for a crisis to get prepared. Ensure your workplace has easily accessible AEDs and that employees are trained in both CPR and AED use to protect workers and clients alike.

October is National Ergonomics Month!

In industrial work and warehousing, prioritizing ergonomics is key to a safer, more efficient workplace. Focus on:

• Proper Lifting Techniques to prevent back injuries.
• Adjustable Workstations and equipment to fit the user.
• Minimizing Repetitive Motions through job rotation and automation.
• Using proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as back supports and knee pads, to reduce physical strain.

By reducing strain and making safety a priority, you help keep your workers safer and healthier, while increasing productivity and efficiency.

Protecting the industrial workforce is paramount. Noise-induced hearing loss is a major occupational illness, but it is entirely preventable with a strong Hearing Conservation Program.

Industrial Workplace Hearing Protection Checklist:

1. Know the Exposure Limits: OSHA requires a Hearing Conservation Program when noise exposure equals or exceeds an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of 85 decibels (dBA).

2. Wear Mandated PPE: Earplugs or earmuffs must be provided and worn by all workers in hazardous noise areas.

3. Check the Fit: Improperly fitted hearing protection offers little defense. Ensure devices are correctly inserted or worn for maximum noise reduction.

4. Double Protection: If noise levels are extreme (above 100 dBA), wear both earplugs and earmuffs for maximum safety.

5. Annual Audiograms: Participate in all required hearing tests to monitor your hearing health over time.

Prioritize your hearing and commit to a safe work environment.
