OSHA Changes, Confined Spaces and the Future of Safety Training: What You’re Reading in February
A look back at February’s most popular content, as determined by you.
Whew! February felt like January, the sequel.
The past few weeks were a figurative and literal trudge through the snow, but I’m starting to see some small seeds of change. The snow is melting, the sun has peered through the clouds a few times and I’m starting to feel changes take root.
I’ve always found that when you’re toiling in the weeds, that it’s a lot of faith and trust: in yourself, in the process, in patience. When it seems like nothing is happening—or perhaps that something should have happened by now—you usually have to wait a few weeks longer.
I can see that in our metrics for February, too. You’re checking to see what’s going on in the our nation’s capital because you want to know what changes you need to make or how to prepare for anything coming down the pike. At the same time, you also know that you need to focus on workplace hazards, programs and other things within your control.
I don’t know what the future has in store, but I can promise you that EHS Today will be right there with you, trying to help you make sense of it all, every step of the way.
Until next time, stay safe, be well, and be kind!
