Safety Leaders to Employers: Compliance Isn’t Enough

A powerhouse coalition of safety organizations—including ASSP, NSC, and AIHA—is urging employers to ditch the bare-minimum mindset and go beyond just checking compliance boxes. Their message? Modern EHS practices should prioritize worker well-being, embrace risk-based safety systems, and revolutionize recordkeeping with predictive data.

Despite new tech, workplace injury and fatality rates haven’t budged in over a decade. The coalition says it’s time to treat safety as a strategic advantage—not a line item.

Want to future-proof your safety culture? Here’s how.

Your Mental Health Program Looks Great—So Why Is Your Team Still Burned Out?

Still Ignoring Summer Safety Warnings? Read This.

Every year, we hear the same heat warnings—and every year, people still end up in the ER (or worse). Summer hazards like heat, humidity, and sun exposure are predictable, preventable, and all too often brushed off.

Whether you're working outside or stuck in a warehouse with no A/C, heat doesn’t care about your comfort. Taking time now to prepare—like acclimatizing your body and learning heat illness signs—can protect you or someone you work with from serious, even permanent harm.

Don’t wait for the heat to hit. Plan now. Stay cool. Stay safe. And don’t forget to check out our Heat Safety Summit.
