In this episode of Safety Matters Russ talks about the current trend of parents giving their children melatonin in order to get a good night's rest. However, research is showing that over use of melatonin by children can be dangerous. Are parents doing this so their children can get more sleep or so they can? We live in a society where drug use is on the rise. Should parents be teaching their children to rely upon drugs to improve their life and what are the safety consequences?

In this episode of Fall's Aren't Funny we se a woman exiting a big box retail store and slips and falls near the entranceway door. The floor was wet due to migrating rain water and there was no floor mat placed at the entrance to contain migrating water. The Defendant blamed the woman claiming that because she was wearing flip-flops (which they had previously sold her). Was it the wet floor or choice of footwear which caused this fall? You be the judge. Thank you for watching this video. Please subscribe to my channel and share with your friends.

When students arrived back to campus this fall they found themselves gathering on a local beachfront pier when tragedy happened. The pier collapsed with dozens of students on it. Luckily no one was seriously injured but it could have been much worse. So why did the pier collapse? Was it because of overcrowding, a structural defect, or something else? Most local media outlets failed to tell the viewer that the pier was scheduled for removal the day after it collapsed? So what exactly did the city know? Join Russ as he talks about what happened and what could have been done to prevent such this near-mis event. Thank you for watching this video.

In this episode of Safety Matters Russ talks about a recent research paper claiming that "Women who drink sugar-sweetened beverages have an increased risk of liver cancer." But is this really true? If so, then that would mean that any other form of sugar intake would have the same risk? Not so fast. The truth lies in the details of the research paper which the news media rarely covers.

As security tools become more sophisticated, threat actors' methods also do too. With AI and Machine Learning algorithms, hackers can pretend to be your boss and exfiltrate data or even money from you. These could be in the form of a video or even a phone call with a very familiar sounding person. Are you in a position to identify these advanced types of phishing attacks? https://www.pcmag.com/news/hacker-deepfakes-employees-voice-in-phone-call-to-breach-it-company https://media.defense.gov/2023/Sep/12/2003298925/-1/-1/0/CSI-DEEPFAKE-THREATS.PDF Thank you for watching this video.

In this episode of Safety Newz Russ discusses Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's decision to sue automakers Kia and Hyundai because their automobiles do not have advanced safety deterrents which he claims has raised the crime level in Chicago. If this is true why aren't we seeing the same level of Kia and Hyundai thefts in other cities. Maybe because it's not true! How is it that our leaders get away with wasting taxpayer money on pointless public safety campaigns and frivolous lawsuit? It's not the cars fault that a criminal stole it.

In this episode we see a woman walking towards a soft drink station and trips and falls over a raised edge of a carpet mat. Although it's common to use carpet mats at drink stations to contain spilled liquids and ice, floor mats are prone to movement and curled edges which people often don't see as they are looking forwards and not down towards the floor.
