Alberta (Rural Roots Canada) – Canadian Road Safety Week is underway, and throughout rural Alberta, drivers are being urged to stay alert for farm machinery when travelling along the province's roads. “Those are large pieces of equipment on the highway, and being aware of them and driving safely around them is critical,” says Jody Wacowich, executive director of AgSafe Alberta. “Right now, all of our farmers are out there moving seeders and other big equipment, trying to get the job done in between rainstorms and whatever else happens.” Wacowich says patience goes a long way when you're stuck behind slow-moving machinery. “Yeah, they're moving slow, but they're not going to be on the road for that long. Just be patient with them and let them get to where they're going, especially if the conditions aren't allowing you to pass or get around them very easily. Take a breath, give it a minute or two.”

National Road Safety Week kicks off today, a time to reflect on the currentpoor driving standard in this state, National Road Safety Week the projectof Peter Frazer whose daughter Sarah was tragically killed by a truck driverin a totally avoidable crash on the Hume Highway at Mittigong in February2012. Since then, Peter has devoted his life to improving road safety -founding SARAH, standing for Safer Australian Roads and Highways. Thedriving force behind Australia’s National Road Safety Week and the roadsafety symbol the Yellow Ribbon. A campaign suggesting you wear ayellow ribbon on yourself and your car to show your support and make apledge on the SARAH website – “to drive so others survive” – to me giventhe total disregard by many motorists to road safety wearing a yellowribbon on yourself and your car is far too weak a message to what is aworsening problem year on year. We’ve just had two long weekends withincreased fatalities and numerous injuries. It’s clear there has beensubstantial vehicle growth in N.S.W. – a lot of new drivers mainly fromoverseas with poor knowledge of our road rules and driving conditions –you witness it almost daily – driver behavior and attitude is at an all-timelow, and driver education and compliance testing is in need of a radicaloverhaul.

Talking further on National Road Safety Week starting today – a timesurely to reflect on the current poor driving standard in this state, Thecampaign is national however we still don’t have a set of national roadrules – individual states still singing from a different hymn book. NationalRoad Safety Week is the work of Peter Frazer who daughter Sarah wastragically killed by a truck driver in a totally avoidable crash on the HumeHighway at Mittagong in Feb 2012 when her car broke down. Tow truckdriver Geoffrey Clark and Sarah were loading her car when they were killedby the passing truck. Soon after N.S.W. expanded the road rule requiringdrivers to slow down to 40km/h for emergency responders to also includetow truck and roadside assistance workers. Amazingly, Victoria onlyannounced this week that from July 1 the current road rule requiringdrivers and motorcycle riders to slow down to 40km/h for police, fire, andambulance would be expanded - now including tow trucks, roadsideassistance and incident response vehicles displaying flashing lights. Itbeggars’ belief that after Sarah Frazer’s tragic death in 2012 it’s takenVictoria 13 years to implement a road rule which surely should have beennational road rule from Day 1.

Warehouse Robotics and Automation Safety - Week One Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) – Staying Safe Around Automation With more robots entering our warehouse floors, we must stay vigilant about safe interactions between humans and machines. Robots are a valuable asset for productivity, but we must take safety seriously whenever we're near automated equipment, like palletizers and de-palletizers. We all play a role in keeping things safe. Here are some tips to keep in mind: Know the Rules: Familiarize yourself with safety standards and protocols at your location—especially those involving human-machine interaction. Stay Aware: Only partially rely on sensors to detect human presence. Sensors are an added layer, but they need to be foolproof. Check Safety Features: If any safety features malfunction, report them to your supervisor immediately. Never Bypass Safety Devices: If a machine jams, notify maintenance and safety; don't attempt a DIY fix. Stay Alert to Your Environment: Regularly remind yourself of protocols and safety zones around automated equipment. As always - be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility. Human-robot interaction can be safe and productive if we all stay aware, informed, and follow established procedures. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

How Veolia Prioritizes Health and Safety Worldwide? At Veolia, safety isn't just a requirement—it's embedded in the company's core values. Leading the charge is Arnaud Valleteau de Moulliac, Chief Executive Officer of Veolia Water Technologies. In this week's episode, Arnaud speaks with Scaling UP! H2O host Trace Blackmore about how safety initiatives are reshaping Veolia's culture around the world. Arnaud emphasizes that health and safety are non-negotiable: "It's a 24/7 commitment." This episode takes you inside Veolia's global approach, showing how the company's 8,000+ employees have integrated safety into their daily routines. What Drives Veolia's Health and Safety Initiatives? For Arnaud, safety comes from a personal place: “As a father of four, ensuring everyone gets home safely is paramount.” This family-first approach reflects Veolia's deep commitment to safety, which has been an ongoing focus for over a decade. “Ten years ago, we launched International Health and Safety Week, where every subsidiary worldwide participates in focused discussions and actions on safety.” This annual event creates a space for employees to assess their work environments, recognize potential risks, and form long-lasting safety habits. But at Veolia, safety isn't just about one week—it's about creating a culture that endures year-round. Fostering a Culture of Safety Every Day While International Health and Safety Week serves as a focal point, Veolia's goal is to make safety a daily priority. “We need to ensure that health and safety are part of our everyday routines, not just something we think about once a year,” Arnaud notes. To keep safety top of mind, managers at Veolia conduct at least six field visits each year, evaluating safety practices and identifying areas for improvement. Employees are encouraged to report near-misses and incidents, creating a culture were speaking up about safety is valued. “It's about creating an environment where people feel safe to voice concerns without fear of judgment,” Arnaud says. “Building trust is essential.” A Cultural Shift: Breaking Old Safety Norms One of Veolia's biggest achievements over the last decade has been a shift in how employees view safety. Arnaud recalls a time when raising safety concerns was often seen as a sign of weakness. Today, those conversations are welcomed and encouraged. “There used to be this mentality of being a 'superman'—toughing it out in unsafe conditions. That's behind us now, but we always stay cautious. The human element means we can never stop paying attention to safety,” Arnaud warns. This shift has been a significant victory for Veolia, but the work isn't finished. The company remains vigilant, continually adapting its safety approach to address both evolving risks and human factors. Celebrating 10 Years of Health and Safety Transformation As Veolia marks the 10th anniversary of International Health and Safety Week, Arnaud reflects on the company's progress. One key success has been the reduction in workplace accidents and the increasing willingness of employees to report safety risks. “Ten years ago, speaking up about safety could be seen as a weakness,” Arnaud explains. “Today, it's a sign of strength and responsibility.” This cultural change has transformed how employees view safety—not as a policy, but as a core value that protects their colleagues and ensures everyone returns home safely. Starting a Safety Culture: Insights for Small Teams For small businesses, building a safety culture might seem overwhelming. However, as Arnaud explains, it's not about financial investment—it's about leadership and intention. “Safety starts at the top. Being an exemplary leader doesn't cost anything. It's about creating policies and following through. Take time to sit with your team and ask, ‘What are the risks?' It's an investment in people, not just resources. Any company, no matter its size, can do this,” Arnaud emphasizes. Manager Visits: Fresh Eyes on the Ground As part of Veolia's commitment to safety, manager site visits provide an opportunity for leadership to spot issues that might have become invisible to regular operators. These visits aren't just procedural—they're a chance to bring fresh perspectives into the conversation. “Even non-operational colleagues—those from HR or finance—ask valuable questions during these visits. Their common sense often uncovers risks that might otherwise go unnoticed. Safety is about asking the right questions, not about being an expert,” Arnaud explains. One Key Takeaway: Lead by Example If there's one message Arnaud wants listeners to take away, it's this: “Be exemplary. It starts with you.” Veolia's success in transforming its safety culture is a powerful reminder that leadership and continuous vigilance are the best tools for creating a safe working environment, no matter the size of the operation. Stay Informed and Stay Safe! As Veolia's journey shows, building a culture of health and safety requires effort, commitment, and teamwork. Whether you are part of a large organization or a small team, Arnaud Valleteau de Moulliac's insights offer valuable lessons for promoting safety in any workplace.

H2O Academy video courses AWT (Association of Water Technologies) Drop By Drop with James  In today's episode, I have a “what if” for you. What if the temperature of the softener regeneration water drops in the wintertime? Now, if you're in an area with a warmer climate year-round, you may not have to worry about this, but for those who live in colder climates, it is something to consider. How could colder water temperatures cause an issue with softener regeneration? Have you ever considered this before? The answer is that water is denser at cooler temperatures. This could be especially important during the backwash step of the softener regeneration. A proper backwash is necessary to ensure efficient softener operation. It loosens the bed, minimizes pressure drop, cleans and classifies the resin, and maintains an even water flow across the cross-sectional area of the resin bed. Backwash flow rates must be high enough to expand the bed by 50% and typically last around 10 minutes or more. If the water is denser because it is colder, the same flow rate used in the warmer months can result in expanding the resin bed even MORE, which could ultimately lead to washing good resin down the drain. Resin manufacturers often have tables that show the required flow rate based upon water temperature. A big picture look at these tables roughly shows that, in Fahrenheit, when the temperature drops to half what it was in the summer months, the required flow rate could drop to half as well. Be sure to always refer to the resin manufacturer's specifications for actual design numbers, though.  2024 Events for Water Professionals Check out our Scaling UP!

Laura Dunn, NHTSA's Highway Safety Specialist. New Ad Council and NHTSA PSA's for National Child Passenger Safety Week to Protect Kids and Educate Parents

From the BG Ad Group Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Monday, September 16th, and I'm Keith Ippolito. Georgia Kicking Off Annual National Child Passenger Safety Week The Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety and the Department of Public Health are teaming up to remind parents about the importance of car seat safety. National Child Passenger Safety Week runs from September 15-21, and certified technicians will be out checking car seats and raising awareness. Studies show that car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers. Despite this, many car seats are installed incorrectly. State law requires children under eight to use a car seat or booster based on height and weight. Allen Poole, Director of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, emphasizes that properly installed car seats can save lives. For those who can't attend this week's events, local fitting stations offer appointments to ensure your child's seat is safe. For more information, visit gahighwaysafety.org.

Regular Safety Meetings: Hold daily, weekly, or monthly safety talks. These meetings keep safety at the forefront of mind and provide a platform for discussing recent incidents or new procedures. Clear Documentation: Work with HR to establish a system for recording safety meetings, incidents, and training. Keeping records helps track progress and identify areas for improvement. Assign Responsibility: Determine who will maintain safety, health, and OSHA training records. Having a point person ensures everything runs smoothly. Centralize Records: Keep all safety documentation in one place. Knowing where all your documentation is will make it easier to access information when needed and help during audits or inspections. Stay Updated: Regularly review OSHA guidelines and industry best practices. Safety standards evolve, and it's crucial to stay current. As always - follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility. Safety isn't a one-time thing—it's an ongoing commitment. Following these tips and staying vigilant can create a culture where everyone goes home safely every day. Let's work together to make our workplace compliant and genuinely safe.

Implementing Safety - Week Two Organizing safety efforts around themes can significantly improve awareness and compliance. Here's how you can use daily, weekly, and monthly safety themes to proactively create a safer work environment and keep safety in mind. Daily focus: Start each shift with a brief safety reminder tied to the day's theme. These reminders could be as simple as "Proper Lifting Tuesday" or "Fire Safety Friday." Weekly campaigns: Dedicate each week to a specific safety aspect, such as "PPE Week" or "Machine Guarding Week." Use this time for more in-depth discussions and hands-on demonstrations. Monthly objectives: Set broader safety goals for each month. "Fall Prevention Month" or "Electrical Safety Month" can guide your weekly and daily themes. Mix compliance and prevention: Balance your themes between OSHA compliance topics and proactive safety measures. This balance ensures we meet regulations while also fostering a culture of safety. Plan ahead: Draft a quarterly or yearly theme calendar. This will help you prepare materials and allow for adjustments as needed. These are general suggestions. Please tailor your topics to your specific facility. By implementing these themed approaches, we can keep safety fresh and engaging. Remember, your commitment to these safety themes is integral to our safety culture and leads to fewer accidents and a more productive workplace. Let's work together to make these themes a cornerstone of our safety culture. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

John is only just starting to notice maybe he's up to no good after murdering people in cold blood and then committing piracy. He's still not positive, though. First up, in "Azati Prime" he decides diplomacy is for jerks. Then, in "Damage" he makes a bad choice and we find out T'Pol has secretly also made one but it's only getting mentioned now, just like...HER! Also this week: Marvin the Martian, Forrest Gump, and Kai Winn!
