    Safety News Roundup: October in Review

    Oct. 29, 2021
    A look at the month's most popular stories.
    Nicole Stempak

    October is a time of year when you can both reflect on what has been and anticipate the next few months, especially all the hecticness that follows.

    Q4 is make-or-break for many businesses. There are important meetings to assess how 2021 will close and finalize 2022 budgets. Award contests either open or announce their winners, such as our America’s Safest Companies of 2021.  

    It’s also the start of spooky szn. There’s the seasonal décor, thrill of dressing up in costume and all things pumpkin flavored. And, if you live somewhere that has four seasons, it’s when temperatures start to drop and leaves begin to turn colors.

    That sense of change and anticipation is reflected in this month’s most popular safety stories.

    While we hope we’re seeing a tidal turn in the COVID-19 pandemic, we can see that you want the latest guidance and developments. Since safety professionals are responsible for so much more beyond COVID-19, it’s no surprise that you also want to know the top OSHA violations and most dangerous jobs of 2021.

    It also seems that you’re planning for a post-pandemic future and for the long-term effects of COVID-19, as evidence by the popularity of some of our leadership and wellness stories.

    We’re also glad to see that so many of you are reading our America’s Safest Companies profiles. It’s a lengthy process for everyone involved, but in the end, this competition always leaves us inspired. Winners will be honored at a reception during next month’s Safety Leadership Conference. We do hope that you are able to attend in person; we are looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible in person. More information, including registration, is available at www.safetyleadershipconference.com.

    Without further ado, here are some of the most popular stories from October.
