Practical EHS Tips, News & Advice. Updated Daily.
As Distracted Driving Awareness Month comes to close, the EHS Daily Advisor Song of the Week is going back to the mid-’70s for a classic rock staple: Golden Earring’s “Radar Love.” Released in 1973 in the band’s homeland the Netherlands and the U.K. and in 1974 in the U.S., “Radar Love” is considered one of […]
With EHS Technology Week winding down, it makes perfect sense to go with a tech-oriented Song of the Week. This time around, we’re heading up north and backwards in time to 1981 for “Vital Signs” by Canadian power trio Rush. The Toronto-based band came up playing Led Zeppelin-inspired riff rock and eventually moved into progressive […]
When it comes to worker safety, fall prevention remains a high priority. Despite our best efforts, slips, trips, and falls continue to be one of the leading causes of occupational injuries and deaths. The Song of the Week keeps that in mind with a new wave gem from the early ’80s, “Stand or Fall” by […]
Workplace overdoses are a major issue, with overdoses accounting for nearly 10% of all workplace fatalities in the U.S. The National Safety Council is launching several initiatives to fight workplace overdoses. The Song of the Week comes from U2, which released “Bad,” an epic song about heroin addiction in 1984. Up to that point, the […]

Protecting workers from fall hazards should be a priority of any business. This week, EHS Daily Advisor provided some tips and advice about developing your fall protection program. Tying in with that, the Song of the Week is “Falling Forward,” a punchy song from the band Sweeping Promises. The song is on Hunger for a […]
Continuity planning is something every business must do to ensure that they can keep operating in the event of an emergency or disaster. Perseverance is the key and the EHSDA Song of the Week reflects that mindset with Eddie Kendricks’ 1973 R&B classic “Keep On Truckin’.” Kendricks was one of the founding members of the […]
We’ve spent a fair amount of time this week talking about environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, and one point that repeatedly comes up is that ESG involves more than just the “E.” With that in mind, our Song of the Week is a certified banger about indigenous land rights in Australia: “Beds Are Burning” […]

EHS Daily Advisor wrote about electrical hazards this week so it makes sense that we go with an electricity-themed Song of the Week: AC/DC with the scorching “Live Wire.” Originally released in 1975 […]
