| 10 Great New Year’s Resolutions |
If you’re shopping for a new year’s resolution, here are some recommended by SafetyXChange.org contributor Lauryn Franzoni:
- Resolve to stay optimistic. See the opportunity in every difficulty and anticipate the most favorable outcome to every situation.
- Resolve to identify the most powerful benefit you offer to the people around you and then deliver it. “The purpose of life,” said George Bernard Shaw, “is a life of purpose.” What’s yours?
- Resolve to pump-up your personal vitality. The real currency of the new century is not cash. It’s vitality. It’s the ability to keep going every day of every week of every month of the year with vigor and verve.
- Resolve to be habitually generous. Success is not something you pursue. It’s something you attract by what you become.
- Resolve to refrain from verbal attacks. Use the language of conciliation, not the language of confrontation. Use words that express your joie de vivre and connection with others.
- Resolve to be open to the cultures and influences of others. There is a direct correlation between personal well-being and openness to other peoples’ ideas and cultures.
- Resolve to take control of your destiny. Don’t be so busy trying to make a living that you forget to make a life.
- Resolve to increase your human connectedness. The person with the best connections wins.
- Resolve to increase your creativity by letting go of the familiar. Try to see the world through fresh eyes every day.
- Resolve to be you because others are already taken. You and I are at our best when we’re being authentic.
When you’re responsible for the safety of others, it’s important that you regularly review how you're doing and note where you can improve. The New Year is a great time to do that. Here’s a quick checklist you can use to evaluate yourself. (Subscription to SafetySmart Online is required to access this page.)

| Would you want to be living in the home directly across from this residential construction site, where a precast concrete panel stands without required bracing? Neither would we, especially if the wind kicked up. Come to think of it, we wouldn’t want to be standing around the construction site in such conditions either. (WorkSafeVictoria, Australia) |

| Fuel Theft May Have Caused 28 Deaths |
A suspected attempt to steal fuel from an oil pipeline in Mexico may have triggered a deadly explosion that killed 28 residents of a city about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Mexico City.
A leaking fuel pipeline flooded several streets in San Martin Texmelucan, a city of about 72,000 people. The fuel somehow ignited, causing massive destruction.
While it isn’t known for certain that the leak occurred as a result of a deliberate breach of the pipeline, Juan Jose Suarez, chief of Pemex Oil, which owns the line, noted that fuel thefts had occurred along that stretch of pipeline earlier in the year. |
