  • Summary

  • I have been creating Safety Moment Videos on YouTube for people to use in their corporate meetings I am slowly building up a library.

    I wondered to myself, if there would be any demand to have Safety Moment's available via a podcast episode, so here we are! In each episode, I will add the YouTube link in case you would rather have a visual. However, for those that enjoy sharing content by podcast instead, here is your option!

    Safety Moments have been commonplace in both in person and remote meetings, and they promote a positive safety culture and quick tips and reminders on safety in your work and personal life.

    I hope that you will find content here that you enjoy, that is useful for you, and for your meetings.

  • Slippery Mud Patches - A Spring Safety Moment

    Slippery Mud Patches - A Spring Safety Moment
    Mar 10 2024
    I live on a slope. The house is at the top of the slope, and the chicken coop is near the bottom of the slope. I got the idea to generate a safety moment on slippery mud patches in the yard, because the snow is melting, and I am cruising down the hill with chicken treats, my Sorels, trying not to fall on my backside.

    I figured that we all experience versions of this when hiking, walking our dogs, or navigating a gravol driveway.

    I hope you enjoy this safety moment and you have my permission to embed this into a powerpoint presentation for your meeting, or to play this safety moment (or any others in my series) for your meetings.

    Here is the script:

    As we welcome the spring season, a common hazard emerges. In our backyards, especially in areas with inclines, slippery mud patches fall into our walking path. These areas can pose a significant risk of slips and falls, leading to potential injuries. Today, we'll discuss how to navigate these slippery zones safely. We will also suggest effective ways to repair and tend to them, ensuring you and your family's safety. First and foremost, when moving through areas known to be slippery, it's crucial to wear appropriate footwear. While heavy rubber boots provide some traction, consider investing in boots with deep, non-slip treads specifically designed for muddy and slippery conditions. When walking, take short, slow steps to keep your balance. Avoid sudden movements that could lead to slips and falls. Be mindful of your surroundings, and use handrails, fences, or sturdy branches for additional support when available. If you're carrying items, distribute the weight evenly to maintain your balance, and consider using a backpack to keep your hands free for better stability. To address the slippery mud patches in your backyard, start by assessing the drainage in the area. Poor drainage often contributes to the problem, so consider installing additional drainage solutions such as French drains or gravel pathways to redirect water away from problem areas. In high foot traffic, laying down stepping stones or creating a mulch path can provide a more stable surface. For inclines, consider terracing the slope or adding retaining walls to reduce erosion and runoff, which contribute to the formation of mud patches. In conclusion, while slippery mud patches can be a nuisance during the early spring months, we can mitigate their risks with proper precautions and yard improvements. Remember, safety is a shared responsibility. Let's work together to keep our environments safe this spring.

  • Leap Year Safety Moment - Safety Checks Every Four Years

    Leap Year Safety Moment - Safety Checks Every Four Years

    A Leap Year Safety Moment – Safety Checks Every Four Years

    A leap year may not be a safety moment in itself, but it can be a reminder to perform safety checks for less frequent tasks. Here are some ideas and tasks that can be part of a leap-year safety check.

    Fire Safety Equipment Check

    It's crucial to inspect and maintain fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors regularly. A leap year can serve as a reminder to check the expiry dates of these devices and replace them if necessary.

    Emergency Preparedness Kits

    Use the leap year as a reminder to review and replenish emergency kits. Examples include checking the expiry dates on food and water supplies, replacing batteries in flashlights and radios, and updating personal documents and emergency contacts.

    Car Maintenance

    Specific car maintenance tasks, such as replacing timing belts or flushing the cooling system, are needed less frequent. The leap year can be an excellent reminder to check these less frequent maintenance tasks.

    Digital Cleanup

    Use the leap year to back up critical digital files, update software, and clean out old emails and files. Keeping your unused files backed up can help improve digital security and efficiency.

    Health Check-Ups

    While annual check-ups are standard, certain health screenings or tests are less frequent, depending on age, gender, and medical history. A leap year can remind you to schedule appointments for these less frequent health assessments.

    Home Maintenance

    Some home maintenance tasks, such as inspecting the roof and checking the foundation, need less frequent attention.

    The leap year is a cue to tackle these less frequent tasks. Incorporating these tasks into a leap year can help ensure that important, albeit less frequent, tasks are done, contributing to your overall safety and well-being.

    Breathe Easy: Ensuring Indoor Air Quality in Winter

    When winter whispers, we wrap our homes in warmth, sealing out the chill. But within our cozy confines, the air can become a hidden hazard. Today, we unveil simple steps to ensure the air we breathe indoors is as fresh as the winter's frost. Understanding Indoor Air In winter, our homes become sanctuaries from the cold. But they can also trap pollutants, from dust to carbon monoxide, compromising our air and health. Understanding is the first step to purity. Ventilation Solutions Fresh air might seem a distant memory in winter, but ventilation is key. Briefly opening windows, even in the cold, can invigorate your home with fresh air. Exhaust fans and air purifiers work wonders in renewing your space, making each breath a cleaner one. Humidity Balance Too much moisture, or too little, can both be foes to indoor air quality. Aim for a balanced humidity, between 30% and 50%, to ward off mold and ease respiratory discomfort. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers can help maintain this delicate balance. The Role of Houseplants Nature's gift to indoor air, houseplants, are more than just decor. They're natural purifiers, absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen. Sprinkle your space with green companions, and let them work their quiet magic. Regular Maintenance The unseen heroes of our homes, air filters, need regular attention. Keeping your HVAC system in check, and choosing vacuums with HEPA filters, can significantly reduce indoor pollutants, making every breath a sigh of relief. As the winter winds howl, let's remember the air that surrounds us indoors. With simple steps, we can ensure it's as fresh and invigorating as a winter's breeze. Breathe easy, stay safe, and cherish the warmth of your winter haven.
