Workers Memorial Day is April 28. As a way to stand and honor the memory of those lost this last year to a workplace incident or illness, OSHA and the OSHA Training Institute Education Centers are hosting free virtual training sessions April 20-22 that anyone can attend. The sessions will be run by SMEs from several OTIECs and you can register to attend all or one of the events. I encourage you, your leadership, or even your team to consider pausing for an hour to join us on one of these days - to stand together and learn and share, and hopefully prevent future pain and loss. I'll put the links for each days registration in the first comment to this post, but we also have them on our website (scroll to the OSHA Partner Events section) https://oshainfo.gatech.edu/safety-and-health-training-events/safety-and-health-webinars-and-no-cost-training/

Our colleagues at UGA just published research about heat exposure during hurricane and storm damage clean-up. When access to cooling or rest is limited in outdoor emergency-type scenarios, the risks go up tremendously. Preparing adequately ahead of time is crucial, and our upcoming EST 7143 Strategies for Heat Illness Prevention class (Friday, March 20th) can help your teams get real plans in place before the emergency strikes. We still have a few seats available and would love to have you join us for the day: https://pe.gatech.edu/courses/strategies-heat-illness-prevention

Heat poses additional risks post-hurricane - UGA Today Rainfall, storm surge, high winds and tornadoes are major hurricane hazards. But heat also poses a serious threat, according to UGA research.
