Fall Prevention in the Workplace -- Occupational Health & Safety

Annual seminars are held by NIOSH to inform employers and workers about fall prevention. By Shereen Hashem Apr 27, 2021 The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), its partners, employees and workers across the country on April 26, 2021 and the week of May 3-7 are holding its second annual National Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents and the eighth week-long National Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction. According to a press release, there were more than 1,100 construction deaths in 2019, the highest level since 2011. Fatal falls went all the way up from 36 percent of all construction fatalities to 401 deaths in 2019, a two percent increase from 2018. By participating in either or both of these national stand-downs, employers and employees are given opportunities for safe work practices on the job: PPE, training, unsafe conditions, hazards, policies and much more.

Researchers Use Tethered-Balloon Tests Ensure Safety of New Solar-Power Technology

Researchers Use Tethered-Balloon Tests Ensure Safety of New Solar-Power Technology What do tiny dust particles, 22-foot-wide red balloons and concentrated sunlight have in common? Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories recently used 22-foot-wide tethered balloons to collect samples of airborne dust particles to ensure the safety of an emerging solar-power technology. The study determined that the dust created by the new technology is far below hazardous levels, said Cliff Ho, the lead researcher on the project. Ho s team just received $25 million from the Department of Energy to build a pilot plant that will incorporate this technology. This next-generation renewable energy technology is called a high-temperature, falling-particle receiver for concentrating solar power. Concentrating solar power, while not as common as solar panels or wind turbines, has several advantages over those renewable energy sources, including the ability to store energy in the form of heat before
