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,

these types of things where they get actually caught in them and dragged into these machines and get seriously injured or even killed. Those are the four major areas that OSHA continues to deal with. And I'm sure it's becoming more and more complicated with our level of sophistication of the things that we do. Yeah, go ahead, Barry.

You know, when you think about it, you know, falls in the home and what, what, do we do to prevent them? And when do we think about preventing them? In other words, rugs that you have on the floors around your home, at what point do you become cognizant of the danger that rugs can pose? Or grab bars in showers. At what point do you put them in?

You know, and also like in the workplace, there's there's really subtle types of things that I remember at the at the Department of Health. We had employees that did ergonomic assessments. Or when you're working. So when you're seated at a desk, for instance, is the desk at the right height? Is your computer screen placed properly?

Those types of subtle things can really have an impact on a person's health. And then also, the work environment, the work that's trying to be done, if indeed it's compromised by people being unhealthy, there are major economic effects as well.

And, you know, it's interesting, too, when you, you know, the things that have come to our attention, like if you sit at a desk and you're staring at a screen, what implications does it have for your vision? what implications does it have for your, your, your body, whether it be, you know, things like carpal tunnel syndrome for, you know, your wrists or, or what have you.

These are subtle things, but safety, none, nonetheless. All right, let's move into home safety. This is kind of an interesting one. I think there's, I can really state that I remember growing up as a kid and our doors were unlocked. My friends and I were running in and out of the houses like it was not a problem. And so now when we talk about that, we're really talking about a different level of

safety. Yeah. So Clarence, you know, what's your thought on this? I mean, it's like, you know, we've really kind of got to this point where it's kind of like, you know, with burglar alarms and, you know, deadbolt locks and just that aspect of safety. What's your sense?

Besides that, even if you do have those in place, then the technology comes into play. It's like, who understands the importance of the home safety burglar alarms, for instance? And then how is it that you monitor it through an app on your phone, where some people are just illiterate when it comes to dealing with that type of thing?
