Memorial Day may conjure many images—parades, graveside services, barbecues, swimming, shopping, spending time with friends and family, and so forth. But in order to do that, you first have to get to your destination. The unofficial start of summer is also one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.

Technology is Pushing the Envelope for Safety Training

1 month ago | ehstoday.com | Adrienne Selko

Debates about the close integration between technology and workers are ongoing. However, in the training sector of the safety industry, the two are getting along just fine. The key to this happy relationship is based on the increased processing power of emerging technologies, which enable more lifelike simulations.
