Occupational health and safety is essentially everyone’s responsibility, in part because it takes both employees and employers working together to make sure that everyone in the workplace is safe and healthy. Depending on your particular industry, it is easy to determine which risks are more likely at your place of business and it is everyone’s responsibility to decrease the odds that workers will be put in danger when they’re at work every day.

When a major hurricane is in the forecast, there isn’t always a lot of time to prepare. Consider Hurricane Michael, which made landfall on the Florida Panhandle as a devastating Category 5 storm in October 2018. Just two days before the storm intensified into the strongest hurricane to make landfall in recorded history, it was little more than a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico.
