Week #1: (9/7-9) Introduction to Safety

Post by rjagodowski »

On Friday (9/9) we will discuss the first chapter in the text, Introduction to Safety.

NOTE: On the first day of class you were given a set of handout sheets for the first three chapters of the text which you are to use until you purchase your books. Once you have your own books, you MUST return these handout sheets to your professor. Un-returned or defaced handouts will result in a penalty to your course grade.

This class only lasts for 5 weeks. Our normal pace is to cover 1 chapter per class or 3 chapters per week. Do not fall behind.

Throughout the semester I will post links of industrial safety & health examples. Some good, some not so good.

Here's a recent example of an accident which could've easily been avoided which, sadly, resulted in the loss of life of a coworker. Bumble Bee Tuna Processing Plant Accident, 2012
