Impaired driving

Everyday around 37 people die in crashes that involve a driver impaired by alcohol, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Add drivers impaired by prescription medicines and other drugs and that number goes up significantly.

While drunk driving has declined by about one-third since 2007, the number of drivers under the influence if drugs has increased.  Between 2013 and 2014, 22 percent of drivers tested positive for a drug that would cause impairment, according to a roadside survey conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Don’t drive impaired.

And that’s smart safety!

Industrial hygiene

The goal of industrial hygiene is to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control workplace conditions that could cause injury, illness, impaired health or significant discomfort in workers.
Industrial hygienists determine the extent of employee exposure to hazards (chemical, physical, ergonomic or biological) and decide what’s needed to control these hazards.

Industrial hygiene is an essential part of any successful workplace safety program.

And that’s smart safety!
