"I wanted to let you know that the EWN support staff is doing a great job. Krista was able to show me how to work through a complex issue. She was very clear with instructions and was patient with me throughout the process. Also, Anna Kate is always willing to go the extra mile as well to make sure that we are happy and that we are utilizing the system in a way that best meets our needs. I should probably send you more messages like this, since this is the type of support that I have grown accustomed to from EWN. Keep up the good work!"

2014 Fireworks from Washington DC
|
In 1989, the National Council on Fireworks Safety was founded in Washington, DC. The Council is
dedicated to educating the public about the safe and responsible enjoyment of consumer fireworks". As a part of this mission, the National Council of Fireworks Safety has released a list of recommended safety tips as listed below:
- Obey all local laws regarding the use of fireworks.
- Know your fireworks; read the cautionary labels and performance descriptions before igniting.
- A responsible adult should supervise all firework activities. Never give fireworks to children.
- Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Save your alcohol for after the show.
- Wear safety glasses when shooting fireworks.
- Light one firework at a time and then quickly move away.
- Use fireworks outdoors in a clear area; away from buildings and vehicles.
- Never relight a "dud" firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.
- Always have a bucket of water and charged water hose nearby.
- Never carry fireworks in your pocket or shoot them into metal or glass containers.
- Do not experiment with homemade fireworks.
- Dispose of spent fireworks by wetting them down and place in a metal trash can away from any building or combustible materials until the next day.
- FAA regulations prohibit the possession and transportation of fireworks in your checked baggage or carry-on luggage.
- Report illegal explosives, like M-80s and quarter sticks, to the fire or police department.

Safety First - OSHA Heat App
Summer is here and so are the temperatures! Safety must come first when working outside during the summertime to avoid heat related illnesses. To assist with this, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has developed and released an OSHA Heat App for your mobile device! The OSHA Heat App calculates the current heat index and risk level of a particular area or job site using the current temperature and humidity level. Based on the heat index and risk level, the OSHA Heat App provides a Precautions button to help reduce the risk of heat related illnesses and accidents. By clicking the Precautions button, the user will receive reminders for such things as rest breaks and fluid intake.Read full article, click here. |
NTSB Covers 2014 Manhattan Gas Explosion
On June 9, 2015, the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) held a meeting to discuss the findings and final rulings on the 3/12/2014 New York City, NY East Harlem District of Manhattan Gas Explosion. The final ruling is expected to be released sometime in July.
The NTSB determined two factors contributing to the probable cause of the incident: - Failure of a defective fuse joint at a service tee
- A breach in the adjacent sewer line that allowed groundwater and soil to flow into the sewer that was left unrepaired since at least 2006, resulting in a loss of support for the gas main, which caused the line to sag; thereby overstressing the defective fusion joint

1989 - Two Trains Passing in the Mountains Experience a Natural Gas Explosion
On June 3, 1989 in Russia's Ural Mountains near the town of Ufa, a natural gas pipeline experienced a significant drop in pressure indicating a possible gas leak. In an effort to keep the pressure up, pipeline workers increased the flow of natural gas to the pipeline allowing the natural gas to leak and spread into the surrounding area. The natural gas settled in a low area close to nearby a Trans-Siberian Railway.
