So thanks, Barry, for being on the show today. And of course, there's Clarence. Clarence Jones and I co-host the show together. And we're finding that a lot of the shows are very, very interesting. And we are learning a lot together. So Clarence, as always, thank you. Human Partnerships. is our sponsor for these shows. Great community health organization.

Check them out at humanpartnership.org and check us out, Health Chatter out at healthchatterpodcast.com. All the research, And all the questions that you might have or reviews are all on our website. And you can also read up about all of us who do the show. So thanks again to everybody. So health and safety.

You know, I read through our background research here, and one of the key things around health and safety centers around OSHA, O-S-H-A-A, which stands for the Occupational Safety Health Administration, which, frankly... didn't start that long ago. It was like in 1970 that it really started. And it was really focused on safety in the workplace.

And if you just kind of broaden your perspective about work in general and think about where all the people in the United States work, all these different different places, there are safety concerns that, that need to be addressed and hopefully, um, in a way that can prevent harm. And so for instance, in, um, historically, you know, we were dealing with mines and mind, mind safety, M I N E safety.

There was, um, you know, things around equipment. There was also farming where we had a lot of farming accidents and alike. And as we get more sophisticated with our technology, there are aspects of work that we really have to address from a safety perspective. So thoughts on that, Barry?

Yeah, you know, our research, and we'll talk about hopefully at least a little bit on all of these areas, occupational, home safety, auto and road safety, and firearm safety. I mean, that's just perhaps just touching the surface. Clarence, your thoughts just to get us going here.

Absolutely. And, and You almost have to be totally out of it not to see potential dangers that are around you. In the Twin City metropolitan area, those of us who live here, if you go from A to B in your car, navigating road construction, and when you just pass by what's going on,

You can't help but think, oh, my God, these people that are working on these road construction improvements, it can be really, really dangerous. And so, you know, you have to reduce your speed and not everybody does it, at least appropriately. So, you know, when we're dealing nationally with infrastructure issues,

And so, you know, you have to reduce your speed and not everybody does it, at least appropriately. So, you know, when we're dealing nationally with infrastructure issues,

improvements, whether it be roads, bridges, et cetera, we are faced with potential dangerous situations, safety issues, and certainly I'm sure that OSHA is on top of it.

Yeah. So, you know, just absolutely. So to give you an idea, if we're looking at it from an occupational standpoint, OSHA is the big four that they deal with are falls. So you can imagine, just, just think about this. People are building these skyscrapers, you know, and they're, and they're, you know, the top floor is in heaven.

And can you imagine, you know, any falls from one floor to the next or major or major falls? So that's, that's, an important area. Struck by an object is another one. Again, scaffolding, et cetera, can be quite dangerous. Electrocutions is the third area. And then one that I thought was interesting is caught in or caught between. Employees caught in or between machines, devices, tools,
