June is National Safety Month! Here to discuss what safety means to a safety operations engineer is former NOBCChE University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Chapter President Kwaku Okraku. Let's hear what he has to say! #Safety #NOBCCHESafety #ChemESafety
 Hi! I'm Kwaku Okraku, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign C/O 2010 ChemE, and I'm here to share my views on Process Safety. With a little over four years in the manufacturing arena under my belt, it is impossible not to see where key principles of process safety affect my daily life. In fact, if you talk to anyone that knows me well they'll tell you that my favorite thing to say is, "Life is all about managing risks." Being an integral part of process safety culture in manufacturing plants since I graduated college shaped that perspective.
As Operations Engineer of Styrolution's flagship polystyrene facility in North America, every decision tied to pushing product out the door always has to take into consideration any potential impact to workers and/or the community at large. Are the chemical reactions maintained at the safe operating limits of Pressure, Volume & Temperature throughout the process? Has the margin of risk potentially increased for unplanned events, related to PV&T, to occur? And if so, are there safety controls in place, both engineering and administrative, to accommodate accordingly?

National Safety Council
What do you live for?
Everyone has something they live to see or experience. No matter what your passion is, we engage in safe behaviors so we can live for what matters to us.
This June, the National Safety Council is celebrating your passions with the theme of "What I Live For." By sharing stories and providing resources such as posters, tip sheets, safety checklists and an infographic, we can work together on keeping each other safe wherever we are.
This year will focus on the important topics of prescription painkiller abuse, transportation safety, ergonomics, emergency preparedness and slips, trips and falls.

Cover letters have the incorrect reputation nowadays of being a formality. Like saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, or ending an email with "best." Frequently, people write a cover letter "just in case" the hiring manager feels the urge to look at it which is the wrong move, considering that it's capable of making or breaking a candidate's chances.
