Have you ever thought about the people who collect your trash and recyclable materials each week? In the United States, we are fortunate to have a well-established infrastructure and base of professionals that collect, sort, recycle and dispose of our solid wastes. The 370,000 men and women who work in this field are providing a valuable public service by protecting the environment and our public health. But this job has its risks and dangers. Listen and learn from David Biderman, General Counsel and Safety Director of the National Solid Waste Management Association, as he shares the successes and challenges of the professionals in this field. The industry is very active and a leader in recycling, renewable energy production and community support and activities. So, why bother listening? Because this profession is one of the most dangerous occupations in the country. What are the top risks? Getting hit by cars and improper, hazardous materials placed in the trash. We, as the public, can do our part to help these professionals do their jobs...for our good.

Episode 3-Teen Driver Safety - Best Practices & Top Programs

Cathy Hansell — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:31:54 GMT

Thirty young drivers (ages 16-24) die each day in traffic collisions. This horrific statistic can change...TO ZERO. Learn how to do this and the best practices in teen driver safety from the expert, Bill Margaretta. Bill is the President of the NJ State Safety Council, a Member of the National Safety Council International Curiculum Committee on Defensive Driving and several other related State and National Driving Commissions. Bill will describe actions that we can take as parents and friends to help teens improve their driving skills and to reduce the risks of collisions. Some actions include a "contract" or agreement between parents and teens, Graduated Drivers License programs, role modeling proper driving techniques, and encouraging our teens to have their own "voice" to stop unsafe driving behaviors of their peers and friends. The NJ State Safety Council Program "Alive at 25" is proven successful in improving teen driver safety. Your local school's driver's education curriculum is only a small step in preparing our teens for a lifetime of safe driving. LISTEN to Bill, and LEARN how to do your part!!
