We’re proud to kick off another outage season with our continued partnership at Limestone Generating Station in Jewett, Texas. This facility is incredible: it's two steam units with a net generating capacity of 1,690 megawatts (MW), enough to supply more than 1.3 million homes. Outages demand precision, coordination, and proactive safety leadership. Our team is on-site supporting critical maintenance operations - ensuring workers go home safe while projects stay on schedule.

From confined space oversight to full outage safety coordination, JLN Safety delivers the high-level safety presence our partners rely on year after year.

Thank you to the NRG Energy Limestone team for your continued trust.

Here’s to a strong, safe, and successful Spring 2026 season. www.SAFEJLN.com

On this day, we pause to remember the 100 lives lost and the hundreds forever impacted by the tragic Station Nightclub fire in West Warwick, Rhode Island.
This devastating event changed the fire protection and life safety landscape across the country. It reinforced a truth our industry knows well:
Complacency costs lives.
From blocked egress paths to improper use of pyrotechnics and insufficient fire protection systems, the lessons from the Station fire continue to shape codes, inspections, and training to this day.

At JLN Safety, we honor those lost by doing the work that prevents history from repeating itself:
✔️ Identifying hazards before they become incidents
✔️ Supporting code compliance and fire protection best practices
✔️ Training teams to recognize and mitigate risk
✔️ Strengthening safety culture at every level

Because behind every checklist, every inspection, and every training evolution…
there are lives depending on it.
Today we remember.
Every day, we work to prevent.

🔋 NEW OSHA GUIDANCE: Lithium-Ion Battery Injuries & Recordkeeping

Lithium-ion batteries power today’s workplaces - from tools and equipment to emergency devices.

But when incidents occur, are you recording them correctly?

OSHA recently issued a Letter of Interpretation clarifying how lithium-ion battery injuries must be recorded under 29 CFR 1904 if they meet general recordkeeping criteria.

This isn’t a new rule - but it is an important clarification that impacts:

• Injury logs (300, 301, 300-A)
• Work-related battery fires or chemical exposure
• Proper documentation and trend tracking
• Compliance during inspections

Battery hazards can exist across the full lifecycle - charging, storage, disposal, recycling, and emergency response.

Accurate recordkeeping isn’t just compliance - it’s how you identify patterns before they become serious incidents.

We’ve broken down what this OSHA update means for industrial employers and safety leaders in our latest Safety Update blog.

One of the best parts of the NAES Safe Conference in Orlando was the people.

We had the opportunity to connect with fellow industrial professionals, exchange ideas, and dive into thoughtful discussions around real-world safety challenges. These moments of collaboration are what help strengthen safety culture across our industry.

Grateful for the conversations and connections - until next time.

We’re really proud to share this news.

Our CEO, John Nickerson, has been named a 2026 “CEO Who Gets It” by the National Safety Council -a national recognition honoring leaders who make worker safety, health, and well-being a true priority.

For those who work alongside John, this recognition isn’t surprising. Safety isn’t just a message here - it’s how decisions are made, how teams are supported in the field, and how much importance is placed on preparation, training, and speaking up when something doesn’t feel right.

This recognition - and John’s interview - reflect the culture our entire team helps build every day, often in high-risk environments where doing things the right way truly matters.

Confined space rescue is a perishable skill.
That’s why our teams return seasonally to sharpen technique, test systems, and refine communication under realistic conditions.

Training isn’t about checking a box.
It’s about staying ready - for the moments that matter most.
