The safety nets protecting America's agricultural workforce are unraveling. Dr. Jeff Bender, Director of the Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center (UMASH), reveals the far-reaching consequences of recent budget cuts to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) - cuts that have already eliminated 85% of the agency's workforce.For fourteen years, UMASH has served as a vital resource for farmers, agricultural workers, and rural communities across the Upper Midwest, and beyond. Under the recent cuts to NIOSH, the center's funding is set to expire in September. Using a "One Health" approach and recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, the center has pioneered innovative solutions to complex problems. From training rural volunteer firefighters to handle farm emergencies to researching better respiratory protection in swine and dairy facilities, UMASH projects, past and present, address real-world challenges that commercial interests typically overlook.For more information on UMASH, visit: https://umash.umn.edu/about-the-center/

In this episode of Safety Shorts, host Emily Hargrove, NSSGA's Director of Occupational Safety and Health, welcomes Shea Davis, Regional Operations Manager for CDE USA, to discuss the evolution of safety training in the aggregates industry, particularly over NSSGA's 25-year history. Together, they explore the shift from passive, compliance-focused methods to today's interactive, real-world learning essential for engaging younger generations like Millennials and Gen Z. Shea also shares a personal injury story highlighting the critical need for proactive hazard identification and risk assessment tools like "Take 5" or "SLAM." In essence, today's episode emphasizes that modern, effective training goes beyond mere compliance to foster a strong safety culture, prevent accidents, and ensure vital safety knowledge is retained and applied in the field. Main Themes: Evolution of Training Generational Learning Styles The Impact of Inadequate Training Proactive Safety Checks Beyond Compliance Engagement and Retention Visible Felt Leadership (VFL) Future-Proofing the Industry Toolbox Talk Discussion Questions:   Shea talks about the differences between his first training experience in the industry and the training new employees receive today. How have you noticed these trainings change? Shea had a lost time incident that could have been avoided if he had known to stop and assess the situation better. Why do you think it's important to take the time to work safely? Does anyone have a story they would like to share about training they wish they had received earlier in their career? Key Takeaways: "When I was preparing the guard I was told that we had to rush to get the plant up and running... Time was against me." "The grinder ended up catching a side piece of angle iron... which would not have been an issue if I had not repositioned the guard." "This resulted in a trip to the emergency room. I received several stitches, also a few days work. So now I had a lost time accident." "If I had known or been trained to do these small little exercises, this may not have happened at all." "But I don't know what I don't know if I'm not trained on it. So that's how I've seen training evolve over the years." "We, as safety professionals, we have a major responsibility to deliver quality safety content in ways that inexperienced people can retain that information." "Being able to provide the content is important to the younger generation of workers... because they're the ones that are going to drive our industry in the future." "Safety training matters beyond compliance. It's about saving lives and building better workplaces." Links: National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association website Shea Davis

“And so you have different kinds of hazards with the drugs that you're using. That means that in the past, when a lot of oncology drugs, antineoplastic drugs used to treat cancer would have been added, you may see that a lot of oncology drugs either weren't added or they're added in a different place on the list than they were in the past. That's due to some of the restructuring of the list we'll probably talk about later,” Jerald L. Ovesen, PhD, pharmacologist at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about the latest update to the NIOSH list of hazardous drugs.  Music Credit: “Fireflies and Stardust” by Kevin MacLeod  Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0   Episode Notes   NCPD contact hours are not available for this episode.  ONS Podcast™ episodes: Episode 330: Stay Up to Date on Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs  Episode 142: The How-To of Home Infusions Episode 68: Empowering Healthcare Workers to Handle Hazardous Drugs Episode 53: Home Care Nursing for Patients With Cancer ONS Voice articles: Hazardous Drug Surface Contamination Prevails, Despite More Diligent PPE  NIOSH Releases Its 2024 List of Hazardous Drugs  No Place Like It: Home Care for Patients With Cancer  What Is ONS's Stance on Handling Chemotherapy While Pregnant, Breastfeeding, or Trying to Conceive?  What You Wear Matters When It Comes to Safety  ONS book: Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs (Fourth Edition)  ONS course: Safe Handling Basics  Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing article: Safe Management of Chemotherapy in the Home  ONS Learning Library: Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs  ONS Position Statement: Ensuring Healthcare Worker Safety When Handling Hazardous Drugs  National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health article: Managing Hazardous Drug Exposures: Information for Healthcare Settings  NIOSH List of Hazardous Drugs in Healthcare Settings, 2024  To discuss the information in this episode with other oncology nurses, visit the ONS Communities.   To find resources for creating an ONS Podcast Club in your chapter or nursing community, visit the ONS Podcast Library.  To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org.  Highlights From This Episode  “So we look for a carcinogenic hazard. So does this molecule, does this chemical, this drug, have the ability to increase the risk of cancer? A lot of the time that will also tie with genotoxic hazards, but not always. There are some drugs on the list that are carcinogenic through other mechanisms. Sometimes carcinogenicity can be related to hormone signals, can lead to increased risk of cancer. There's some nuance there, but is it a carcinogenic hazard? That can get it onto the list. Is it a developmental and reproductive hazard?” TS 10:48  “NIOSH can't say what's right for every situation, but some organizations have suggested further precautions such as temporary alternative duty for workers who are pregnant or are looking to become pregnant. NIOSH can't say what's best for any given facility, but other organizations have given some good suggestions you may want to look into.” TS 13:18  “The list doesn't really rank hazard. I know a lot of people have kind of treated it that way a lot of times. We don't say that something is less hazardous if it's only a developmental or reproductive hazard, because if you're trying to have a child, then that's an important hazard to you. And we don't necessarily say something that's carcinogenic is more hazardous.” TS 14:34  “Some standard setting organizations have set standards for handling. Really in the oncology setting, particularly oncology pharmacy setting, it's really changed how some of the handling happens there because some of the standards come out of the pharmacy world. And what's happened there is some drugs that are oncology drugs, they might have been on table one before just because they were used in the treatment of cancer. They were antineoplastics, so they were on table one. Now, because they're not identified as a potential carcinogen and they don't have manufactured special handling information, they are now on table two.” TS 23:39  “Occasionally, if a drug comes out and has manufacturer special handling information, we'll go ahead and add it to the list. And since we won't add it into the publication, we typically have a table on that page that puts that there. If a drug is reevaluated and we find that the hazard is not as bad as expected or it's not a hazard, actually, and we can remove it from the list; sometimes we get new information and that happens.” TS 30:30 

White noise can seem magical — your baby is super fussy, then all of a sudden fast asleep! If you have a colicky baby, try playing this white noise for sleeping. White noise for babies mimics the sounds they heard in the womb, creating a sense of comfort at bedtime. It can also help cover up background distractions that can keep them up at night. Next time your little one is having trouble falling asleep, soothe them to sleep with baby white noise.While playing white noise for babies, it's important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower.Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app.Here are some great products to help you sleep!

Welcome to the third installment of the Updates in Music Audiology workshop recap from the NHCA 2025 conference. This week we will help Sensaphonics celebrate their 40 year anniversary by featuring the voices of founder Michael Santucci and hearing clinic director Shannon Switzer. Together, they shared a brief history of in ear monitors, common fit and use issues, and recommendations for their safe and effective use. Their presentations have been edited slightly for the audio-only format.  Michael Santucci is a Doctor of Audiology and president of Sensaphonics, Inc., Chicago, IL. In 1985 he founded Sensaphonics which designs, develops and manufactures custom in‐ear products for the music industry as well as a variety of other hearing conservation applications. For over 40 years he has provided Audiological consultation and customized hearing protection strategies to both Chicago area musicians and many of today's most prolific music performers from all genres of music. Today, Dr. Santucci continues his hearing conservation efforts, spearheading the development of innovative new products and technologies that have 3 patents for the 3DME IEM system and the dB Check Pro sound level analyzer. Both products are NAMM tech award finalists. Dr. Santucci is the Chair of the Music Induced Hearing Loss Task Force for the National Hearing Conservation Association. Dr. Santucci is also a member of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), where he is Chair of the Technical Committee on Hearing and Hearing Loss Prevention. In 2015 through this year, Dr. Santucci was invited by the World Health Organization to participate as an expert consultant as part of the WHO's Listen Safe Initiative in Geneva SZ and is a core member and coordinator for MLS. Sensaphonics is the first winner of the Safe in Sound award presented by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the NHCA for achievements in technology, was the first winner of the prestigious Larry Mauldin award for pioneering new ideas for hearing loss prevention and was twice presented the Governor's Award and once presented a Fellowship Award from the Audio Engineering Association and has been awarded Honors of the Academy with the 2023 Samuel Lybarger award from the American Academy of Audiology. Shannon Switzer, Au.D. is the Director of the Sensaphonics Musicians' Hearing Clinic in Chicago and is a featured audiologist in the MusiCares x Tuned teleaudiology partnership. As a lifelong clarinetist herself, she became fascinated with hearing conservation for musicians while earning her Doctorate of Audiology at Northwestern University. She primarily provides direct patient care to over 1000 music industry professionals annually through a variety of channels; the Sensaphonics clinic, mobile visits at music venues in Chicago, onsite clinical residencies with orchestras around the country, and teleaudiology visits with musicians around the world. Dr. Switzer is passionate about promoting hearing health through public education. She lectures at conferences, gives interviews to various music media, and trains audiologists in music audiology best practices. She has recently joined the WHO's Make Listening Safe committee for safe listening in music venues and organizes high-profile musicians to promote World Hearing Day on their social media. She is an avid concert-goer and can't help but chat about hearing protection in the crowd, even when she's “off the clock”.

Imagine flying to Hawaii for a humor keynote, only to have everything shift in a way you never saw coming. As a keynote speaker, comedian, and corporate speaker, I know that timing, adaptability, and engaging an audience are everything—but this was a whole new challenge. With the pressure on and no room for error, I had to think fast and use comedy in business to keep the energy high. What happened next proved that sometimes, the best moments in public speaking come when you least expect them, and that workplace humor can turn any situation into a success. https://www.theWorkLady.com Jan McInnis is a top keynote speaker, funny female motivational speaker, comedian, Master of Ceremonies, and comedy writer.

As a citizen of both France and America, Margaux Lantelme has noticed a difference in how store cashiers work in the two countries: in France, they do their jobs sitting down. In the U.S., where Lantelme works a register at REI, cashiers typically spend eight hours a day on their feet. For Lantelme, a former kayaking instructor, prolonged standing can trigger flare-ups of chronic pain that limit her mobility. She requested a chair to use during her shift and got one. But after a change in management, she had to fill out paperwork to keep the chair, which required multiple doctor visits and insurance co-payments over a period of months. She's still waiting for final approval. "Not having access to a chair without approval from a doctor, which costs money and time and energy, is really ridiculous," Lantelme said. "I personally think that people should be able to have access to seating at work anytime they need it." Standing for long periods can lead to low back pain, fatigue, muscle pain and leg swelling, and it can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems and pregnancy complications, according to a review conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Researchers there concluded that movement, whether walking or shifting from a standing to a seated or leaning position, appeared to be the best way of reducing those health hazards. Being on one's feet for an extended time can also lead to chronic venous insufficiency, a disease in which damaged veins impact blood circulation, according to the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN), which represents operating room nurses. The association recommends trying "fatigue-reducing techniques such as alternate propping one foot on a footstool, the use of anti-fatigue mats, using a sit-stand stool and wearing supportive footwear," said Lisa Spruce, senior director of evidence-based perioperative practices at AORN. In 1964, the International Labour Organization, a U.N. agency, adopted workplace standards requiring employers to furnish sufficient and suitable seats, as well as reasonable opportunities for workers to use them. More than 50 countries ratified the agreement, but the U.S. was not one of them. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In this episode of our Safety Perspectives From the Dallas Region podcast series, shareholders John Surma (Houston) and Frank Davis (Dallas) discuss the new settlement process implemented by the Dallas Regional Office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Dallas Regional Solicitor's Office. John and Frank emphasize that this process now includes a second round of negotiations following the contesting of citations. This change could lead to more favorable outcomes for employers, including reductions in penalties and the possibility of having citations withdrawn. The speakers also touch on the potential reasons behind this new approach, such as reducing the workload for the Solicitor's Office and addressing recent legal challenges faced by administrative bodies.

As a parent, long days may seem all too frequent, leaving you feeling exhausted. White noise for babies can be just what you need to help your little one get shut-eye and give you some relief. The consistent sound of white noise for sleeping soothes your baby by covering up outside distractions that may keep your child awake. The soothing hum baby white noise also mimics the sounds they heard in the womb, immersing them in comfort and familiarity. When your baby is comfortable, it makes it that much easier for them to fall asleep! Not to mention, you may love the white noise sound too! Many parents often tell us they feel tired from baby sleep sounds after their child falls asleep to them. When your baby sleeps at night, you will too! So next time your little one struggles to get rest, turn on Relaxing White Noise! Good night! While playing white noise for babies, it's important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower. Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app.Here are some great products to help you sleep!

Pulmonologist / Intensivist Gary Dudek, MD, joins me to discuss the CDC's call for comments regarding allowing nurse practitioners and physician assistants to become National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 'B Readers'. B-Readers are highly trained radiologists (medical school graduates with at least five years of residency as well as additional training in this particular type of x-ray) that read and interpret annual screening chest x-rays done on coal, silica, and asbestos workers to look for early signs of a lung condition called pneumoconiosis. According to radiologists, these x-rays are notoriously difficult to read, and a misread can be a matter of life or death.  Dr. Dudek discusses why allowing NPPs to read these x-rays is the wrong decision.Comment by March 17, 2025: https://www.regulations.gov/document/CDC-2024-0103-0001PhysiciansForPatientProtection.org

Radon is a radioactive gas that has no smell, colour or taste. Radon is produced from the natural radioactive decay of uranium, which is found in all rocks and soils. Radon can also be found in water. Radon escapes from the ground into the air, where it decays and produces further radioactive particles. Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Sometimes radon enters the home through well water. In a small number of hones, the building materials can give off radon, too. However, building materials rarely cause radon problems by themselves. You can either hire a radon tester or purchase a radon test kit from a hardware store and do it yourself. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends hiring a qualified tester if you are buying or selling your home. A short-term radon testing kit measures radon for 2-90 days for quick results. Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. It can seep into homes and other buildings. You're at higher risk for developing lung cancer if you breathe in high levels of radon gas over time (over 4pCi/L or 148 Bq/m3). Tests can measure radon in your home. Mitigation effectively lowers radon to acceptable levels. For most people, the most likely place you're at risk of being exposed to radon is in your home. The U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 1 of every 15 American homes has radon levels above the recommended safety level. People who work in mines or caverns may also be at higher risk, depending on how many hours a day you're exposed to elevated radon levels. If you smoke and are also exposed to radon, it increases your risk even more. Radon levels are usually in higher in places that are: •Closer to the ground, such as basements or underground mines •Near soil that contains more radioactive metal •Poorly ventilated •Processing or storing certain products, such as phosphate fertilizers or uranium •Very tightly sealed •Very well-insulated You can also talk to your child's school about radon levels in school buildings and whether they've had testing. And the U.S. federal government has regulations about radon levels in workplaces. If you're concerned about radon levels where you work, talk to the company's safety officer, or contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

In California, a regulation from the state's Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, dating to 1977, has prohibited the use of autonomous agricultural equipment without a driver at the helm.

“What I find most rewarding is connecting with nurses, who now understand the risks of exposure and are committed to minimizing their personal exposure. When I first started speaking about safe handling, there were a lot of nurses who were skeptical about the need for self-protection. I rarely see that now. Nurses are concerned for their own safety and more open to protective behaviors,” ONS member Martha Polovich, PhD, RN, AOCN®-Emeritus, adjunct professor in the School of Medicine at the University of Maryland, told Liz Rodriguez, DNP, RN, OCN®, CENP, ONS member and 50th anniversary committee member, during a conversation about the evolution of safe handling of hazardous drugs and ONS's role in shaping safe handling policies.

Highlights From This Episode “PPE has always been recommended to reduce exposure because gloves and gowns provide physical barrier to protect against dermal absorption. But what we didn't know back then was what gloves and gowns were made of mattered. So PVC gloves were often used just because they were readily available in all our clinical settings. Gowns were rarely worn for drug administration, even though they had been recommended since early on, and many considered gowns back then as optional because the wording in the [Occupational Safety and Health Administration] guidelines said ‘recommended' and not ‘required.'” TS 3:19 “Those early chemo gloves were a bit like wearing gloves you might use to clean your oven. They were so thick and got in the way of taking care of patients or mixing drugs or administering drugs. So the biggest change, I think, is that gloves that are currently available are very thin, and they provide the necessary protection for those who are handling hazardous drugs. We now have a gloves standard that requires permeation studies to demonstrate the protective ability of the gloves before they can be labeled for use with hazardous drugs.” TS 11:56 “ONS and HOPA developed a position statement on safe handling of hazardous drugs. … This came because our two organizations were unable to support some of the other proposed guidelines from another organization. So we got together, and through our cooperation, resulted in language about the importance of safe handling, about supporting safe handling for practitioners, pharmacists, and nurses. Also, I feel really good about this—our cooperation resulted in language about protecting the rights of staff who are trying to conceive or who are pregnant or who are breastfeeding to engage in alternative duty that doesn't require them to handle hazardous drugs.” TS 17:12 “If there's no worker safety, then who's going to take care of the patients?” TS 21:52 “What I find most rewarding is connecting with nurses, who now understand the risks of exposure and are committed to minimizing their personal exposure. When I first started speaking about safe handling, and that's going back a long way, there were a lot of nurses who were skeptical about the need for self-protection. They had been handling hazardous drugs for years and had no signs of ill effects, and so they assumed that we weren't overreacting with all of the recommendations. They saw the use of precautions and PPE as a speed bump in their busy day and also thought that was unnecessary. I rarely see that now. Nurses are concerned for their own safety and more open to protective behaviors.” TS 23:50

In this first episode of our Dirty Steel-Toe Boots podcast series for the year, Tampa shareholders Phillip Russell and Dee Anna Hays discuss anticipated changes and developments within the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) during President Trump's second term. Dee Anna and Phillip address the status of the proposed heat illness standard and walkaround rule, expected changes in OSHA leadership, and the potential impact that the incoming administration's policies, regulatory adjustments, and enforcement strategies may have on workplace safety and health.

Sometimes our babies won't fall asleep, and we can't figure out why. They could be changed, fed, warm, but nothing seems to work. Many parents will put their little one in the car and drive around the block to see if that helps them fall asleep, which can often times be pretty effective. However, what happens when you get back to the house and your little one wakes up? You can't be driving around the block forever! That is where we come in! Our car ride sounds can mimic the noise heard from inside the car. Millions of parents use white noise for sleeping to help their children get some shut-eye.

Dr. Miller has also managed occupational health and safety projects related to employee stress, sleep deprivation, and traumatic injury in the workplace. Dr. Miller received her PhD from the Department of Chemistry at West Virginia University, where her dissertation utilized early cellular changes to explore biological responses to individual chemical and mixture exposures. Dr. Miller received postdoctoral training at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (CDC/NIOSH), where she evaluated neurobiochemical alterations in vivo after exposure to a mixture of stress and occupational and/or environmental chemical insult to further elucidate the role stress plays in physiological response to external stimuli. Dr. Miller has over 50 published manuscripts, abstracts, and book chapters related to in vitro and in vivo toxicology. Send SOT thoughts on the episodes, ideas for future topics, and more.

Babies find the sound of a womb familiar and comforting, so if your baby is getting fussy, try playing this womb sound.
