The Heartland Center publishes a quarterly occupational safety and health newsletter designed to help workers in Region VII live safer, healthier lives both at work and at home. The articles are written at a level of complexity that can benefit anyone, and while some articles are time-sensitive, most will remain useful for years. These are a great resource for toolbox talks and your organization’s own health and safety materials.
