Just three weeks after Lisa Fulk received lifesaving training from the Red Cross, she applied what she learned and saved her colleague's life. “I heard her gasping for breath just outside of my office," Lisa said. Lisa is a news director at WXII 12 Triad CW. While at work one day, a coworker and friend began choking on a small candy. Lisa knew she had to act fast. “I never thought I would ever have to use the skills taught in that 3-hour course,” Lisa said. She gave her colleague multiple back blows and was able to dislodge the candy from her throat. Thanks to Lisa's training and quick action, her coworker is alive today and grateful that she knew what to do. The American Red Cross North Carolina region presented Lisa with a Certificate of Merit to honor her heroism. After witnessing what happened that day, more WXII newsroom employees are now inspired to get trained in the coming months. 👏🏽👏🏽

Who's coming to Bellend Day? Last week we shared that BWBAB had sold out once again, (grateful) Funny how people then message and say, "Oh I didn't know there was a limit, I was going to book a ticket" "Going to" Who else was going to do something but didn't. How often is that showing up! Well, next chance is August and then November, before another year closes from a Bellend Prevention Society viewpoint 🤣 To be fair all sorts of reasons exist to why someone didn't or hasn't and that is OK. So who is coming... Hopefully this video will give you an idea of the type, size, shape of business that come to a training day like this. Fundamentally they are good humans wanting good support from other humans. Simple. #business #training #coaching #support #soundingboard #strategicplanning

This caption brought tears to my eyes. It reinforces that we should do what we are doing,(especially those things we feel passionate about) because we never know who we may be positively impacting. On a day like today when I was feeling incredibly discouraged and deflated, I NEEDED to hear this more than Natalee Harrigan BSc IDipNEBOSH could ever have known when she posted her heartfelt thoughts. I am grateful to even have been invited me to share on this topic. Be sure to check out the video and her series on Youtube "Stories on Safety" as she shares valuable insight on the area of occupational safety. @hr #hrcommunity #employment #employers #employmentlaw #occupationalhealthandsafety #occupationalhealth
When I first started posting occupational health and safety content on social media (Instagram @safeyfirstlady) I thought to myself, why am I even doing this? Will people care? No one else does stuff like this. Then shortly after, I stumbled upon the videos of Michelle Russell, Attorney-at-Law. I was drawn in. Michelle M. Russell who specialises in employment law gives such passionate and valuable perspectives, which are supported by her 20 years of experience. Little did I know, that a short 5 months later, I would invite her to sitdown with me on camera for a chat and she would agree. I am inviting you to watch (or play in the background as you do something else), Episode 2 of Stories of Safety - produced in collaboration with the Safety Supply Co. It will be 20 mins well spent.
