This is my last post for the year. I’m taking a break for the holidays, and will be posting again in 2012.

Please let me know if there are any topics you’d like me to explore in the new year.

I’m always looking for new stories to share, so please email me at susan@speakingofsafety.ca.

Here’s a quick redux of the Top 5 most-viewed posts of 2011.

It seems funny to read this right now, in chilly December – but it was the most-read post of 2011. (These days, you’re better off reviewing Hypothermia: Surviving the Cold from WorkSafeBC.)

Santa’s safety tips

This post had thousands of visitors when it was published in December 2010 and people kept reading it well into 2011. It’s hard work for Santa to supervise all those energetic elves.

Reporting unsafe conditions

This story came from a friend who told me how she called her supervisor to stop two coworkers at risk of getting electrocuted while vacuuming a rental car.

This post shows how the construction worker costume is a fun and visual costume for kids that introduces the importance of personal protective equipment.

Happy New Year
