SHES partnered with Armada Supply Chain Solutions to assess their current safety programs and protocols through a 21(d) consultation visit, where we conducted noise monitoring, checking air contaminants, and an ergonomics assessment. SHES helped Armada demonstrate their commitment to maintaining an exemplary safe workspace by assisting them with achieving SHARP certification.

Great story on Angela Juric’s journey after her father was hit by a front-loader on the job, crushing his pelvis, and how she discovered the Kids' Chance of Georgia initiative. Georgia Tech Professional Education

When Angela Juric’s father was hit by a frontloader on the job, crushing his pelvis, her family’s future shifted instantly. Stepping in as a translator for her parents at the age of 11, Angela had to mature quickly after her father’s accident.

Approaching the end of high school, Angela discovered the Kids' Chance of Georgia, Inc. scholarship, which has supported her journey at Georgia Tech — where she’s now a biology major with a Spanish minor — and her dream of becoming the healthcare professional her family needed years ago.

We’ve seen a recent effort towards more specifically designed PPE to better fit and protect female bodies (as most PPE is designed for the male frame), and this new crash test dummy takes prevention a big step forward. It’s so important to understand unconscious bias and old expectations and this new testing will save lives.

Women are less likely to get into car crashes than men, yet they are 17% more likely to die in one. They are also 73% more likely to be seriously injured in a head-on collision. One major reason is that car safety has been designed around one body type: the average man.

For decades, crash test dummies shaped vehicle safety standards, but the “female” dummy used today is essentially a smaller male model. It is usually placed in the passenger seat, rarely in the driver’s seat, and it does not reflect the real anatomy of women. This has left a safety gap that puts women at higher risk.

Now, progress is underway. The U.S. Department of Transportation has introduced the first advanced female crash test dummy built to represent true physical differences between men and women, including the neck, pelvis, collarbone, and legs. It has more than 150 sensors to measure how women’s bodies experience impact.

The DOT is evaluating this new dummy for use in the government’s five-star ratings, a shift advocates say could finally improve safety outcomes for women.

Over 10,000 women die in car crashes each year because safety tests and equipment are primarily designed to protect male bodies. It’s time to make vehicles safe for EVERYONE.

Which chemical should we use for this process, #6 or #7? (sorry, couldn't resist) But seriously, if you find yourself struggling to evaluate chemical use, identify and/or consider safer alternatives for your processes - our upcoming 1-day OSHA 7225 class "Transitioning to Safer Chemicals" - led by the amazing Dr. Jenny Houlroyd) - will help eliminate guesswork. Join us Oct 29 (online) - we still have a few seats left.
