This week Kristy and I discuss OSHA citation's, EPA fines, calls for an end to fossil fuel subsidies, electrical safety month and more on EHS This Week.

In addition we touch on a huge EPA audit of radiation monitoring sites across the U.S., as well as an EPA chemist reinstated after a whistleblower suit went before the federal Merit Systems Protection Board.

In honour of North American Occupational Safety and Health Week (NAOSH), held from May 6 to 12 this year, EHS This Week is pleased to present this special edition of our EHS podcast.

Kristy and I sat down earlier today to reflect on what NAOSH week is all about, how it was formed, the key themes for this year's week, and some of the events that are being held across the continent.

So check it out and let us know what you think. And don't forget to check back on Friday evening for our regularly scheduled weekly program. Head to the NAOSH site for more on this annual event.

This week we take a look at a variety of OSHA citations, the incoming onset of the biggest week in health and safety for the continent, NAOSH Week, significant climate legislation news out of South Korea -- which seems to be following Mexico's recent example -- the Obama Administration's new rules on gas fracking, and a whole lot more.

As mentioned, next week is NAOSH week and we will be doing our utmost to provide comprehensive coverage, given this is such a great opportunity to highlight the value of occupational health and safety across North America. It's also particularly resonant, coming only days after both the International Day of Mourning for those injured or killed at the workplace (April 28) and International Workers' Day last Monday.

As always, write us at paul@ehsthisweek.com or kristy@ehsthisweek.com with any suggestions, comments, or ideas for future shows. We've loved your feedback so far, but please, if you are interested on coming on the show, please let us know. We would love to have more industry experts participate in the podcast and discuss how we can improve conditions for workers around the world.

Till, next week -- and do remember we are having a mid-week podcast to recognize NAOSH week -- enjoy the show!

Now that Kristy has her voice back we sat down for a packed episode of EHS This Week, touching on an array of stories including a confounding whistleblower case, a devastating sawmill explosion in British Columbia, Canada, an EPA official's "crucifixion" comment coming back to haunt the agency, and a whole lot more OSHA and EPA news.

My colleague JP Nadeau joined me for the latest EHS This Week Podcast, sitting in for our regular co-host, Kristy, who lost her voice earlier this week.

Additionally, we discussed significant climate legislation out of Mexico, as well as the latest data on U.S. GHG emissions. It was a great chat so don't miss it!
