Update: Industrial Hygiene and Safety Blogs I Follow

I figured it was time to update the published list of industrial hygiene and safety blogs I follow regularly. These blogs are written by practicing industrial hygienists and/or safety professionals and do not include curated blogs from large companies or industry publications.




Take a look and consider adding some of these to your reading list. If I've missed any interesting bloggers, please leave a comment and I'll update the list.

New Manga! Re-branding The Industrious Hygienist

Image
Hiyo, loyal readers! Per the request of several of you, I bring you a new manga of the Industrious Hygienist . I haven't had a chance to learn my Anime Studio software or Bamboo Splash tablet yet, so this one is old-fashioned, hand-drawn goodness.  I was going for spunky, but she turned out a little sassy. :) The Industrious Hygienist - latest character art (manga) for rebranding! Hope you like it - next time I get another four to six hours of free time, I'll draw another action-oriented and funny manga. This one only took about three hours. I'm trying to re-brand the Industrious Hygienist into the hero of the manga rather than the "person who things happen to" in the manga. As always, eternal thanks to Hiromu Arakawa for creating Fullmetal Alchemist and the style of manga I imitate. Wish me luck!

The baby was retrieved by the police and placed under protective custody in the department of child safety. Interestingly, some of the most thorough news cove...

The Revenge of the Christmas Tree

Image
Ah, the joyous Holiday Season begins � a time for rampant illness (cue flu season), unsportsmanlike behavior* (never step foot in malls and big box stores), and increased levels of non-work-related injuries and illnesses (decorating and getting the house ready for guests). I�ve come to one iron-clad conclusion about the whole holiday thing: the Christmas trees are getting revenge . It could be because the trees are fed up with only being associated with this winter holiday hoopla, or because they resent having to die and be used as decoration, or because they don�t want to spend their last living weeks laden with lights and tinsel and heavy ornaments.  I�ll give the disclaimer that I don�t decorate for the holidays anymore, except for a smallish wooden wreath placed somewhere in the front room and three stockings, one for me, one for the Exceptional Spouse, and one for the dog. I will admit that having a 100+ pound Alaskan Malamute with a penchant for gnawing on ornaments was the o...
