Sudden cardiac arrest is an electrical problem that creates an abnormal rhythm, which prevents the heart from pumping blood to the vital organs, including the brain.  Quick action, including the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), could save a victim from dying or suffering irreversible brain damage.

Cold weather can endanger lives and destroy the well being of workers whose jobs put them in the midst of frigid temperatures and extreme weather conditions. According to OSHA, protective clothing is recommended for work at or below 4 degrees Celsius or below 39.2 degree Fahrenheit.

Until recently, it was common for companies to reward employees with cash, prizes, and awards based on lagging indicators of safety. In other words, they rewarded employees for keeping the number of accidents, incidents, and near misses low. These rewards were meant to give employees an incentive to perform their work safely.
