Links

Some of our favorite links:

• www.osha.gov - The single most complete link to occupational safety and health regulations, including downloadable standards, letters of interpretation (our favorite page), bulletins, Spanish-language learning aids, e-tools for training, expert advisors. Check out some of the more obscure sections, such as Review Commission decisions, the Field Inspection Reference Manual (FIRM), and speeches by the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health. See if your company or any other company has been inspected by OSHA over the years, and what citations were issued against them…a perfect tool for prequalifying contractors and subcontractors.
• www.makesafetyfun.com - The website of motivational speaker Richard Hawk, with regular contributions from safety professionals who try to bring some creativity to their safety programs and training.
• www.safetyonline.com - An online safety newsletter with weekly features, archived articles and featured products.

• www.cdc.gov/niosh - A wonderful source of both safety and health information and training aids, etc., from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Browse the site, check out "ways to prevent injuries from backhoes," "Roadwork: Work Zone Safety," and one of our favorites: "Electrical Safety: Safety and Health for Electrical Trades…Student Manual."
• www.nsc.org - The National Safety Council's website. Snoop around for free stuff, like their fact sheet on lead poisoning, etc.. A great source for books, pamphlets, posters, video programs, instructor guides and more. Every safety person should have a copy of the NSC's "Injury Facts."

Accident studies galore, searchable by trade, hazard or jobsite. For a complete view of the website contents, click on their "site map" link. Check out especially their tool box talks and "bright ideas."
• www.stats.bls.gov - More stats than you could ever want, but check out "Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities" (under "Industries"). It's the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics that publishes the annual incidence rates for all SIC categories. Compare your company's incidence rates with the national averages.
