RE: "Another death that could have been avoided if all involved observed the applicable safety standards." I cross posted link on EHS News network.
If there is anything positive we can learn from Boston/WACO, is that we should be diligent in protecting human life and bringing those who want to harm others to justice.
And in times of major incidents many people feel scared and helpless that there is nothing they can do to prevent or protect others from harm.
We often forget that "Every day in America, 12 people go to work & never come home" and "10'000s around the world die in preventable occupational deaths everyday".
It is important that everyone knows that they can always help prevent and protect others by simply discussing basic occupational health/life safety programs and where to find help.
Farms, schools, stores, churches and small businesses … wherever there are people who care to help, there should be a discussion of how they can.
Thanks for sharing this John.
It is appreciated.
