The highest duty of an employer is to keep the workplace safe for the employees. A great contribution to knowledge was done at the Confined Space blog by Jordan Barab. His blog helps to spread the work about risks including the terrible problem of death by accident on the job.
He has moved on to work at the House Education and Labor Committee. All of us who care about the safety of workers are in debt to him for increasing the awareness of workplace injury risk. His blog has had a million visits.
In his honor, this video (also linked to on the Confined Space blog) with music by Pete Seeger will help us remember those who have gone before.
Thank you Pete Seeger and thank you Jordan Barab.
