Top priority? Readers tap training

Article Abstract:

Safety and Health journal's 4th annual reader survey of safety, health and environmental protection reveals a growing emphasis on safety training, controlling workers-compensation costs and ergonomics. The survey also shows health and safety professionals concern for the effects of corporate downsizing, aging work force, air- and water-quality and workplace violence. However, few respondents considered the impact of issues concerning AIDS, the NAFTA and ISO 14000.

Give a child the gift of safety

Article Abstract:

Child-safety seats have saved around 2,655 lives from 1982 to 1994. At present, 48 states have adopted safety-belt laws and all states observe child-safety-seat laws. For parents who cannot afford to buy child-safety seats, the Maryland Safety Council and the Western Pennsylvania Safety Council donated 50 safety seats to the health department in North Carolina.
