I just published a new article in Occupational Health & Safety today, and it's something that matters deeply to me:

CPR: A Lifesaving Workplace Priority explores how essential cardiopulmonary resuscitation training isn’t just a checkbox—it can literally mean the difference between life and death. I dig into why every workplace should not only offer regular CPR training, but also foster the confidence among employees to step in when emergencies strike.

One of the most powerful lessons here: we often train for emergencies and never expect to use those skills—but when that moment comes, you’d rather be ready than wishing you were.

If this resonates with you—whether you're an employer, safety professional, or simply a concerned coworker—I encourage you to read the full article on the OH&S website:

Every workplace grapples with one issue that may seem harmless but poses serious safety risks: horseplay. In today’s post, I explore how this behavior—often dismissed as camaraderie or morale-building—can quickly escalate into injuries, OSHA-recordable incidents, and organizational liability.

In my article for Occupational Health & Safety, I discuss:

• Why seemingly playful behavior becomes dangerous in workplace environments.
• How incidents involving horseplay can trigger reporting under OSHA’s General Duty Clause.
• Practical strategies employers can use to prevent it: clear policies, leadership accountability, and safety culture reinforcement.

If you’ve ever wondered how a joke or idle behavior could lead to a serious injury—or worse—this article is for you.
