I intend for this blog to be a forum for those of us that want to make a difference regarding the safety of our fellow workers and our environment. Having been involved in the field of Environmental, Health and Safety for several years now, I have come to realize that one person can make a difference, but it takes empowerment, buy-in, teamwork and a willingness to get involved in motivating others to realize that they can make a difference also. While this Blog will primarily be addressing safety in the workplace, comments on environmental matters are always welcome. We use the phrase "raising awareness" constantly regarding safety; that is the primary purpose of this blog, to "raise awareness" of how all industries can pull together to create a safer workplace. My first posting considers how we all can refocus on the upcoming year regarding safety improvements in industry.
