If you haven't followed it, a cornell student says she was drugged and raped by seven frat members at a party in 2024. She went to campus police and the county DA and nothing happened for two years

It took her filing a lawsuit last month for the governor to step in and hand the case to the state attorney general. Cornell's own survey says 11% of their students have experienced nonconsensual sexual contact.

My cousin starts there next fall. I didn't want to just tell her to be careful, because everyone says that and it means nothing. So i wrote down the actual signals she can use if she's in trouble. The angel shot order at a bar, asking for angela, the hand signal that works through a window, the phone tricks that call for help without unlocking it, and what to do in the first 24 hours if something happens because the evidence window is shorter than most people think

OSHA requires a written HazCom program. I've looked at templates from OSHA's website, industry associations, and consulting firms. They read like legal documents. Pages of regulatorydefinitions, and cross-references to other standards. I need a written plan that my staff can read and understand, , and that describes how our facility manages chemical hazards in practice. Not a legal compliance document that sits in a binder and gets pulled out only during audits. Has anyone written a plain-language HazCom program that's both OSHA compliant and usable ?

This outlet looked crooked to me. I'm out of town performing a safety assessment for a client. Can't wait to tell the front desk tomorrow that their contractor (presumably) didn't ground their entire floor of rooms' electrical outlets. Maybe I'll send them an invoice. Lol

Thought you'd all appreciate it!

Hi all,

I have just finished my Grad Dip. in OHS but lack any formal work experience in this area.

What kind of jobs aside from the few internships on offer do you recommend for getting a foot in the door for someone with no experience on the tools or in a safety related role?

Genuine advice only please.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any simple ideas for a safety pro going trick or treating with the little ones? I'm brainstorming ideas, and got nothing.

Hi guys, i was resitting in my IG1 Nebosh exam and last time they made my result void because of Ai detection and this time i got mail that "my answer is similar to other candidates and indule highly distinctive phrases"

I did my exam all by myself and just got help from study materials, didn't even copied anything...

Can anyone please tell me how to reply the email or what to do now?

They gave me 10 working days to reply that

Well....I've been approved since Jan for the test...as work and life would have it, I haven't had time to study....no extension....essentially have to take the test and reschedule when I fail.

Anyone have any advice on how to potentially give myself a chance to pass?

Who do you believe has that best hand protection products?

After this data center boom. all these massive hourly wage boom. do you think it will stay high? or do you think it'll regress and adjust back to a slower market? lots of folks on data centers making 45-70 an hour. 70 seems crazy high for an onsite person.

Hey everyone- i need advice on where to go work.
I have been a safety professional for 3 years, work at a big GC in the DMV region. The work hours and expectations are not very fitting (10+ hours daily, weekend work every 4-5 weeks, late stay 2x a week).
Overall, i want to move elsewhere with less workday hours and those unpaid late stays + weekend work.

Has anyone had experience with any other company/GC with a better work-life balance as a Safety Professional?

Also, if not in the construction field, where else did others pivot to? Thanks everyone.

My question is , Do all these majors hold the same weight and open the same doors ? Looking to get into safety management (preferably online ) and wasn’t sure about the differences.

Aside from the typical lagging/RIR/DART/LTIR, what does the group find are effective leading indicator KPI’s? If you have some, how did you end up selecting those? How did you establish your benchmark/goal? How many KPI’s do you track? How often do you share them with? Who do you share them with?

I rarely see posts about certs like cusp on here, is utility safety just super niche? What are the hours and travel like? Is it a lot of on call work?

It seems like a cool career and the pay on utility safety jobs in my area is extremely good.

Just wanting to hear from people in that area

I’m currently attending Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) online to get my master’s degree in Safety, Security, and Emergency Management and wanted to get the opinion on which certificate would be better. I’m considering the Occupational Safety certificate, which comes with GSP designation or Safety Leadership and Management. Just wanted to get thoughts on this. Thanks!

Anybody here union as a safety? I’ve only been doing safety two years and intend to stick with it but I’m wondering if there’s a union for us or not

I’m an EHS engineer for a small company (<100 people) and relatively new in the role. We have been using Thompson Safety for our first aid/fire services but are looking to maybe change vendors due to some communication and invoicing issues. Currently we are considering Cintas and I’ve met with their sales, training, and fire service reps a couple of times and liked what they are offering. Pricing between Thompson and Cintas seems to be similar with Cintas being a little cheaper overall. However, I’ve seen some online reviews about Cintas overcharging and having poor communication after the contract is signed. Also, it seems like quality of service depends on the branch assigned to the business. Does anyone have any insight to either of these companies? The decision has been left to me and I just don’t want to put our company in a poorer position than we already are.

Also, I understand Cintas is a multi-conglomerate business and this also raises a little concern with communication. Any info is much appreciated! I’m open to other recommendations, we are located in AZ.

Hi

So, a few days ago, I had my closing interview and it went terribly, I was very stressed out and I just couldn't explain myself properly.

The worst part is I did the exam myself. Didn't use AI or cheat in any way.

Now, I think I'll probably fail due to this interview.

When can I expect to hear from NEBOSH saying that my interview did not pass.

Do I have to wait the full 50/60 days for when the results were due to be released?

Or should I expect to receive an email sooner?

Any help would be very much appreciated as I am really stressing out over it.

Thanks

Hey guys im glad i found a group here cuz who would have thought reddit would be my savior . But i genuinely need guidance to work in the OSHA field and EHS management. Im coming from a background in security and is looking to turn my life around. I am still young (24) and don’t really know what im doing I have applied for my TWIC card and just started my OSHA 30 . I don’t know what other steps to take or do i just start applying , the whole thing is fascinating but also confusing, nobody wants to point you in the right direction unless ur paying them and I thought they want the next generation of hardworking individuals. Sigh . I need help in getting the career that I can happily serve and build my life ( OSHA INSPECTOR/EHS MANAGEMENT) soo i hope th internet does its magic
I genuinely need guidance Please this is not a troll

I'm curious how other safety professionals feel about them. Do you think they help, hurt, or make no difference? I’ve heard very different opinions.

Hello,

(UK) Im looking for any advice on how you would approach getting into the industry of health and safety. I have experience that I can leverage, such as being in the Armed Forces, studying physiotherapy at university, and having leadership roles within volunteer communities.

I have researched about completing an NEBOSH NGC, but I wanted to hear from professionals within the field about any advice on which they wish they had before they started.

Any fields you would encourage for a new professional, or conversely, stay away from? Any additional qualifications you would actively seek out, ect.

I would greatly appreciate the feedback!

Agentic AI is a hot topic in my workplace and i was wondering if anyone here has found any ESH applications for it? I’ve tried to dabble in it but our IT is still approving integrations with our internal systems so i can’t do much at the moment.

Feels like a space that could be used to help streamline the paperwork heavy portions of our jobs but curious if anyone else has had any positive uses for it.
