Frank King, nationally-known suicide prevention and postvention speaker and trainer, was a writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, is a corporate comedian, syndicated humor columnist, and podcast personality, who was featured on CNN’s Business Unusual. Depression and suicide run his family. He’s thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He’s fought a lifetime battle with depression, and thoughts of ending his life, turning that long dark journey of the soul into sharing his lifesaving insights on mental and emotional health awareness, with corporations, associations, youth (middle school and high school), and college audiences. As an inspirational and motivational speaker and trainer he uses the life lessons from the above, as well as lessons learned as a rather active consumer of healthcare, both mental and physical, to start the conversation giving people who battle mental and emotional illness permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide, and to create a common pool of knowledge in which those who suffer, and those who care about them, can swim.

When was the last time you took a look at physical safety and security at your facility? Are gates working? What about cameras and intercoms? Do you have a Safety Committee comprised of co-tenants? Ask your workers if they have any ideas on how to improve physical safety and security. Their answers may surprise you. They need to be involved in understanding physical safety and security if they are expected to participate in keeping themselves and others safe. hashtag#safety hashtag#ehs hashtag#security hashtag#osha hashtag#hr

TWH explores opportunities to both protect workers from hazards and advance their health and well-being by targeting the conditions of work. Scientific evidence now supports what many safety and health professionals, as well as workers themselves, have long suspected—that risk factors in the workplace can contribute to health problems previously considered unrelated to work. So, look at the workplace and organizational conditions that may be contributing to worker health issues. Moreover, if you are struggling to get folks involved in wellness efforts, then first look at what workplace safety culture you have in place! Also, be on the lookout for an upcoming podcast episode about this topic. hashtag

Every day in the US, at least 9 people die, and 100 are injured in distracted driving crashes. I see it every day - phones propped on steering wheels watching videos, trying to type while steering, late braking, swerving, etc. and at speeds over 70mph at times. Ignore the distractions and #justdrive. Thanks

www.safetypropodcast.locals.com When natural disasters occur, it is understandable to ask, "why?" when they result in loss of life and property. We need answers. Heck, we may need to point the finger of blame at somebody, anybody, to help rationalize these events. Seeing the scale of the sheer destruction resulting not from process failures, machinery or equipment, or even human error, but mother nature challenges conventional wisdom regarding how we analyze incidents.
