OSHA reveals the most-cited safety and health violations of the year, research links flavored e-cigarettes to the youth vaping epidemic and the NSC announces plans to issue an opioid help kit for employers. These were among the top occupational safety and health stories featured this week on ISHN.com.

OSHA is urging vigilance among employers and employees to address the types of workplace hazards that tend to peak in the summer months. Hazards related to heat exposure, falls, trenching and excavation, struck-by objects and vehicles, electrical safety, workplace violence, grain bin engulfment and other risks in agricultural operations have been at their highest in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska in July, August, and September in the past three years.

When it comes to keeping workers cool on the job, Ergodyne leads the way. Their new Dry Evaporative Cooling Vest offers up to three days of cooling, while keeping the wearer completely dry. Most evaporative cooling vests need to be soaked with water in order to work, which in turn soaks the wearer.

Ergodyne has announced the addition of three new item to its SHAX® line of portable work shelters. The SHAX® line features a number of pop-up tents and accessories designed to go up quickly and easily to provide shade and shelter at a jobsite.

Products to help prevent heat stress, stop tools from falling and connect smart Industrial Internet of Things devices were among the top products featured on ISHN.com this week.
