Incident Alerts (2011 – 2018)

NOTICE:  As of May 29, 2018, this service has ended.  I tried to get it back on track, but in today’s internet, the news is becoming a “profit margin” and the vast majority of news sources I use to produce these alerts are either charging for access to their news story or requiring you to answer survey questions to gain access to their content.  I do not blame them, as even I have changed my business model for this website over the years.  It is the time that these barriers have placed on me that prevents me from doing the alerts.  Every other week I would get over 1,000 articles that I would have to review and determine if they are occupationally related at a “stationary workplace”.  This required me to open each article, which has become nearly impossible.  I just do not have the time to work through all these barriers when sorting through all the potential incidents.  I will leave the archives up for members to use as they need, but unless something changes, I will not be doing the alerts.

The “Incident Alerts” intended purpose is to raise awareness of workplace accidents, specifically the frequency in which they occur, with the hope that workers will begin to realize that accidents happen much more often than they think.  I breakdown the accidents into four (4) categories:  Industrial, Construction, Workplace Violence and Miscellaneous.  I only report accidents that occur at fixed facilities; no transportation accidents.
