Camioneros contra la trata
La esclavitud moderna, o trata de personas, existe siempre que las personas son compradas y vendidas para trabajos forzados o sexo comercial. En todo el mundo, se estima que hay más de 40 millones de esclavos en la actualidad. La trata de personas ha sido reportada en los 50 estados, y el número de víctimas en los Estados Unidos se estima en cientos de miles, según Truckers Against Trafficking.
Safety Management Systems es un orgulloso patrocinador de cobre de Truckers Against Trafficking, una organización que tiene como objetivo combatir la trata de personas. Truckers Against Trafficking reconoce que los miembros de las industrias de camiones, autobuses y energía son invaluables en la lucha contra este crimen atroz.
La organización capacita a los camioneros para que se conviertan en un par de ojos adicionales para la aplicación de la ley en las paradas de camiones y áreas de descanso. Este esfuerzo es fundamental para ayudar a prevenir la explotación de las víctimas.
Safety Management Systems está muy orgulloso y honrado de apoyar a una organización tan increíble.
Asbestos
Asbestos exposure in the workplace can cause a number of major health problems. Long-lasting effects from the toxic mineral can contribute to several diseases, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Appropriate safety measures always need to be taken when working with asbestos.
Working With Asbestos
Working with asbestos long term increases the risk of developing an asbestos-related disease. Cumulative short-term occupational exposures also raise your risk. On the job asbestos exposure is the No. 1 risk factor for mesothelioma, asbestosis, several types of cancers and other serious illnesses.
While asbestos use began to decline in the 1970s and asbestos mining ended in the U.S. in 2002, asbestos has continued to be imported into the country. Imported raw asbestos is mostly used in the chlor-alkali industry. Asbestos vehicle friction products, sheet gaskets and brake block imports have also continued, and some workers use these products daily.
It's important to protect your workers.
