Field Safety Leadership in Action 👷‍♂️✅

The strongest safety cultures are built through presence, communication and immediate action in the field.

During a recent project assessment, ISS Safety Professional Jose Hernandez Jr. worked directly with multiple crews to strengthen safe work practices across the site. His field engagement included:
⚡ Reinforcing electrical safety and proper cord management
🚧 Improving workstation placement and separation from vehicle traffic
🪜 Coaching employees on proper ladder setup, positioning and secure access
🧤 Reviewing PPE selection, hand placement and safer cutting practices
🤝 Partnering with supervisors and crews to establish clear expectations and lasting solutions

What stands out most is the collaboration. Jose did not simply identify opportunities—he involved the right people, explained the reasoning behind each recommendation and helped crews make meaningful improvements in real time.

That is what proactive safety leadership looks like: see it, communicate it, correct it and follow through.

Thank you, Jose, for continuing to protect people, strengthen field performance and demonstrate the value of having an engaged safety professional on the project.

🔥 What’s Up Wednesday: Welding Fumes Are More Than Smoke

Hot work can create hazards we do not always see right away. Welding, cutting, and grinding can release fumes and contaminants directly into a worker’s breathing zone, and those exposures can build over time.

A few reminders for the field:
👀 Look at what is being welded, cut, or ground
🎨 Check coatings, paint, and surface materials
🌬️ Use local exhaust or proper ventilation when possible
😷 Use the right respiratory protection when needed
🧠 Build awareness before exposure becomes routine

Welding fumes may not cause an immediate injury like a fall, but long-term respiratory exposure matters. Protecting workers starts with recognizing the hazard and controlling it early.

How does your team control welding fumes during hot work? Drop your thoughts in the comments. 👇

🔺 Is it time to rewrite the rules of risk?

We’re proud to share that Dale Goss, MBA, MPH, CSP, will be presenting alongside Nicole Ivers, CSP, CIH, CMIOSH, at the Georgia Safety Conference, taking place September 9–11 in Savannah, Georgia.

Together, Dale and Nicole will explore why the traditional safety pyramid may no longer tell the whole story. Their presentation will examine the shift from focusing primarily on high-frequency, lower-consequence incidents to taking a more modern, risk-based approach centered on preventing Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs).

By challenging long-held assumptions and rethinking what safety success looks like, organizations can build stronger prevention strategies, make more informed decisions, and create more resilient safety cultures.

👏 We’re proud to have Dale sharing his experience, perspective, and forward-thinking approach with safety professionals from across the industry.

📍 Georgia Safety Conference | Savannah, Georgia
📅 September 9–11

🦺 A strong toolbox talk is more than a checklist. It’s a conversation.

During a recent morning toolbox talk in Coldwater, Michigan, the team focused on two essential elements of workplace safety: selecting and wearing the proper PPE and actively participating in the discussion.

When team members ask questions, share observations, and speak up about potential hazards, a toolbox talk becomes more than a routine meeting. It becomes an opportunity to strengthen awareness, reinforce expectations, and help everyone approach the day’s work with safety at the forefront.

Thank you to ISS Safety Consultant Kendric Williams and the entire project team for demonstrating that safety works best when everyone has a voice.

💻 What’s Up Wednesday: Technology and Writing Skills Matter ✍️

Field experience will always be valuable in safety, but today’s safety professionals need more than hazard recognition and jobsite
knowledge. Digital reporting, tablets, laptops, software platforms, and written documentation are now part of the role.

This week’s video is a reminder that strong safety professionals keep growing.

✅ Get comfortable with technology
✅ Learn to type efficiently
✅ Strengthen report writing skills
✅ Use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling
✅ Use AI as a tool, but always review, edit, and make it your own

The ability to write clearly and use technology confidently can improve job stability, open better opportunities, and make safety professionals more effective in the field.

What skill do you think safety professionals need to sharpen most right now: technology, writing, or both? Drop your thoughts in the comments. 👇

🔥 Welding fumes may be difficult to see, but the health risks are very real.

The smoke created during welding can contain extremely small particles of iron, manganese, chromium, nickel, zinc, and other substances that can be inhaled deep into the lungs. Welding may also generate hazardous gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide.

Short-term exposure can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, dizziness, nausea, respiratory discomfort, and metal fume fever. Long-term or repeated exposure may contribute to more serious respiratory and neurological effects.

Effective welding-fume protection begins before the arc is struck:

✅ Know the base metal, coatings, and consumables
✅ Review applicable Safety Data Sheets
✅ Capture fumes at the source with local exhaust ventilation
✅ Keep the worker’s head out of the fume plume
✅ Use properly selected respiratory protection when other controls are not sufficient
✅ Take additional precautions in confined or enclosed spaces

Paint, primers, plating, galvanizing, oils, and degreasers can also create hazardous fumes or gases when heated. That is why workers need to understand not only what they are welding, but also what may be on the material.

A quality weld should protect more than the finished product. It should also protect the person behind the hood.

A field note from Melanie Taylor, Director of Client Experience. 👷‍♀️🔥

From dirt to commissioning, my boots-on-the-ground journey continues.

My latest field visit took me to Arizona, where I had the opportunity to experience the incredible world of hyperscale data center construction alongside Matt Warren, one of our outstanding Intuitive Safety Solutions (ISS) Health & Safety Consultants.

From foundations and structural steel to mechanical systems, miles of conduit and cable, and eventually commissioning, the scale and complexity of these facilities is remarkable.
But what impressed me most was seeing the project through Matt’s eyes.

His trained eye caught everything. He recognized great work, identified hazards others might miss, and approached every conversation with professionalism, confidence, and respect.

It reinforced something I believe strongly:
Safety is built through relationships just as much as regulations.
And then there was the Arizona heat.
122°F. 🔥

Walking the project in those conditions gave me an entirely new appreciation for heat illness prevention. Hydration, shade, cooling breaks, planning, and constant awareness are critical to protecting the people doing this work every day.

I left Arizona with tremendous respect for Matt and an even deeper appreciation for the responsibility our ISS consultants carry.

They do more than support projects. They help create environments where progress and people can thrive together.

Thank you, Matt, for letting me tag along, ask questions, and experience the work through your eyes.
