On the evening of December 10th, a tornado tore through an Illinois warehouse that collapsed part of the building and 6 workers were killed and injuring over 40 (via NYT.) Many employees have spoken out about the fact that Amazon prohibits the use of mobile phones on the warehouse floors, except in the case of emergencies. The workers argue that their smartphone would have allowed them access to emergency weather warnings. 

Industrial companies know the value of safety training. Safety leaders have been conducting sessions on accident prevention, incident response, using personal protective equipment, and more to educate employees on how to do their jobs safely, effectively and in compliance. 

With the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic rearing up once again, will your company be ready to handle any new mandates or requirements? Well, we wanted to let you know that we are here to help you handle anything that comes your way.
