See our MySafeWork group in Facebook grow

I love how the word about workplace safety and health - about getting respect as employees - is spreading through the power of Facebook! More and more concerned parents, teens, workers, employers from all walks of life are joining our FB group! We have 62 members now - and that's only in 3 months.

'Spiderman' gets the thumbs down for safety stupidity

Sometimes I am just annoyed when I hear the news, such as recent coverage of the "French Spiderman" in New York City. Robert Alain scaled the New York Times skyscraper... with NO safety line! Apparently, the man was trying to bring attention to global warming. (How wall scaling is connected to that cause, I'm still trying to figure out.) But what really upset me was how many news commentators were in respectful awe of his feat; I heard more than one media person declare with gusto, “He didn’t even have any safety equipment on!"

CSI, David Caruso and safety

Okay, I must admit I am one of the millions of people who periodically tune into CSI Miami - for no other reason then to hear Horatio Kane (played by David Caruso) make insanely predictable statements (which also makes watching the show very interactive and therefore educational!). 

Safety goes to Hollywood

This week I came across an article about the Hollywood, Health and Society Project.  This foundation "provides entertainment industry professionals with accurate and timely information for health storylines" (with funding from the Gates!)

I've watched a lot of medical shows over the years! And since reading about this Hollywood health advice group, I was talking with an emergency room doctor who laughingly admitted to me that sometimes he learns things watching ER!

Australian safety ad...brilliant

I just had the opportunity to see the Homecomings ad that will aired by WorkSafe Victoria in Australia, and I have to admit that I got a little choked up watching.

Now, before you brand me a Hallmark-channel kind of woman, let me assure you that I am not.  I love action flicks, and I don't usually have time for fluffy romantic comedies.
