We are streaming across the Multiverse of Safety FM. And also hanging out with our friends, you know, our colleagues, you know, at that other place. So yeah, so there you go, hanging out at radio big doing that stuff that we do their, you know, their music station, but we are safety show. So it kind of makes uh, an interesting mix of things um, for sure, as we are going around and about and so on. Looks like we have no eyes today in regards the side of what's going on on the stream stuff. So, hey, cool, Good stuff there. So I have no clue unless you pop into the box out. There you go. Uh, so let's talk about it. So I don't know what you did over the weekend. Hopefully it was all kinds of fun as you have that extra day. Uh I got, I I got to hang out in some classes yesterday, so that was some fun stuff um doing some things along those lines out down in new Zealand and the new Zealand timeframe. So some fun times hanging out, taking a look around what's going on over there. Anyway, so let's start talking right away about the world of trends and what is trending inside of that world. So today's Tuesday. So a little bit out of the norm of whatever the hashtags where over the weekend, so we're not gonna be able to talk about those, but we will talk about what are the five top trending songs on each side of the categories when it comes to Itunes and also when it comes to Spotify, Good Morning. Mr puzzle. How are you? So let's take it from the top five on the itunes side of the house. Kaleo with way down we go max Wolff with astronaut in the Ocean. That's number four. Number three Olivia. Rodrigo, Good for you at number two BTS butter. And at the number one spot according to Itunes is BTS butter but the hotter remix. So maybe you need it hotter butter. Uh So there you go, let's talk about the other side of the equation which would be Spotify. So little nods. X. What call me by your name and number five And number four Olivia Rodrigo with deja vu at number three BTS with butter and then at number two Alejandro Totality. And then at number one is Olivia Rodrigo with Good For You. According to Spotify. Yeah. Normally we used to actually play the music. But for some reason, the copyrights people are out and were allowed to play, you know, because certain segments of it. But because it gets into the podcast world of things has become very interesting, especially cause we also hang out on the torch network, which makes it kind of interesting what some of those things, but we also post on safety FM Plus, so that kind of simplifies a lot of the stuff right there. The show goes on to safety FM. Plus, just in case you were wondering. So let's get you started right away and talking about what is going on inside of the world of the news. Because I think that that's gonna be important. Then we're gonna get into all kinds of shenanigans talking about some other things. And then I'm gonna tell you about a couple invites that I've had to sum shows uh, let you know on my, my side of the woods, uh, what, what's going on there and then you tell me what you think and we'll go from there. But let's get you into some feature story news right away and let's get moving. Here is the news on the bar safety show from feature story news in London. I'm Ali Barrett, Peru's covid death toll has jumped from 70,000 to over 180,000. After a review, it is now the country with the highest per capita coronavirus death rate according to johns Hopkins University statistics, the organizers of the Tokyo olympics and paralympics say most staff and athletes are entering Japan under relaxed quarantine rules. Japan has been tightening entry requirements over recent weeks. As the country battles a wave of coronavirus infections, Phoebe amoroso reports from Tokyo, the Tokyo olympic organizing committee said that more than 1000, 600 foreign staff and athletes entered Japan over a period of 1.5 months through mid May. These arrivals were exempted from a 14 day self quarantine. Instead, they could engage in activities after a three day quarantine provided, they took several tests during the first two weeks of their stay. The committee said that no positive test results or breaches of curfew were reported last week, the Japanese government tightened entry rules from arrivals from India and several other countries implementing a quarantine at government designated facilities for 10 days. Several scientists advising the UK government say a plan further easing of restrictions this month should be delayed because of the spread of the India discovered. Covid variant 3000 coronavirus cases have now been reported for six days in a row. However many conservative mps say the country's vaccine rollout means unlocking the economy should go ahead on june the 21st because hospitalizations and fatalities remain low. Business Minister, Paul Scully says, COVID-19 is not currently overwhelming hospitals. They're not being overwhelmed at the moment. But of course there is. But we just got to make sure that we are looking forward to see what happens In the next few weeks and months. In terms of that modeling based on the data. Because what we do know is that when case rates go up. Hospitalizations to date have also gone up. But the vaccination progress is still continuing going great guns with 63 million vaccinations and that is what is going to help us win this race. But we do just need to be careful. We need to earn On the side of caution, Zanzibar's president says no one will be forced to take the covid 19 vaccine against their will. He's trying to counter misinformation about vaccine related fatalities. As Daniel Kidjo reports from Dar as Salaam, the president of Zanzibar has revealed that his government will soon import covid 19 vaccines, adding no citizens will be forced to get a vaccination if they don't want to. This comes after Tanzania's mainland national government is yet to approve any COVID-19 vaccine. Opposition parties are urging the government to allow vaccinations to begin. He said the vaccination when they begin will both be optional and safe. Tanzania's new president, Samiha Hassan said she is looking to import vaccines but still weeks have gone by without any signs of vaccines being delivered or administered in Tanzania. Daniel Kidjo Jerusalem from bureaus worldwide. This is FSN with FSN spotlight. I'm Simon marks the White House late on friday strengthened its condemnation of Belarus for the forced landing of a Ryanair jet that had a prominent critic of president alexander lukashenko onboard remand protest. Ceviche was seized just over a week ago by belarussian security agents. After that jet flying to the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius was ordered to land at Minsk airport instead, the U. S. Is now threatening to coordinate fresh sanctions against Belarus in concert with the european union analyst Jim lindsey of the U. S. Council on Foreign Relations says they're sorely needed. At this point, much of the focus has been on limiting air flights to Belarus and the consequences of that quite honestly are not significant. If you're Belarusian, you can still fly from minced to Moscow. So in some sense, the inconvenience is merely about an hour and a half of extra flight time and a change of airplanes. Likewise for people who were flying groups that normally would fly over Belarus now have a little bit of time tacked onto their flight. Question is, where do we go from here? If you don't see a full court press against Belarus for this, then I suspect that this will not be a one off, that we will see incidents like that in the future. And there were protests this weekend in Poland and Lithuania demanding that Belarus immediately releases the jailed journalist, his girlfriend, and scores of other detained government opponents with FsN spotlight. I'm Simon Marks to recap the top stories. Peru's covid death toll has jumped to over 180,000. After a review, the organizers of the Tokyo olympics say most Stafford athletes are entering Japan under relaxed quarantine rules, several scientists advising the UK government say a plan. Further easing of covid restrictions this month should be delayed And Zanzibar's precedent says no one will be forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine against their will. That's the latest feature story. News. Ali Barrett reporting. This show is almost as enjoyable as hearing the sound of the toilet flush rated r safety show on safety. FM.

You're listening to something, you're listening to the rated R safety show. Nothing better than when you hit the button early. That's for sure. Anyway, so you are listening to the rate at our safety show, it is currently 12 minutes past the top of the hour is you and I are hanging out on this Tuesday? Yeah, this Tuesday, post yeah, post memorial day. So anyways, I start talking about what is going on inside of the world of the news and all that kind of fun stuff because that's always important to discuss. Anyway, the american socialite who is married to her, what? Hold on do you? Hold on? An american socialite? Ah yeah. Who is married to the son of the british businessman, Lord Michael Asch Pskov is being investigated in connection with the death of beliefs. Police chief who was found fatally shot. Jasmine heart in 38 has reportedly been drinking with same with Saint Pedro Superintendent Henry much. Uh prior to the body being discovered in the waters of Saint Pedro Island, he was found with a single gunshot wound behind the right ear. According to the Times London Investigators believe that the bear, we're playing some sort of game with Jamaat pistol which was found on the pier. The victim's sister, Oh my God, Jamaat 55 told the daily mail that she was informed of the charges would be filed against hearted but did not reveal what the charges were. Harden, who has been taken into custody, has refused to cooperate with investigators. So there you go, a lot of stuff going on I guess right there. That's something that you care about interested in and all that kind of fun stuff as well. So there you go. All you can do when you think about it is uh, shake your head, shake your head. That's for sure. Anyway, the CDC revealed new guidelines for mass wearing summer camps. It's setting up where are, where all are fully vaccinated. The need for mass or physical distancing is not necessary according to a statement. Also for those who are unvaccinated should not be required to wear a mask while outdoors. Uh Health agency did not offer specific guidelines on how camps should determine who was vaccinated and who isn't, it sounds like something a little odd to me. So I have to tell you over the weekend, I went out to some this is the second weekend in a role that I have one out to some heavily populated areas, not gonna lie there. But I'm gonna tell you this. The interesting part about this whole thing as I go into these heavily populated areas. The weird part about it is there so tons and tons of people without mask And it's that's fine when you're outdoors depending on social distancing and all that kind of stuff. But then when you get indoors, you see the signs that say, uh, if you're fully vaccinated, you don't have to wear mask. Okay. So because there is no protocol or requirement, blah, blah, blah. I still am amazed in regards of some areas where you go to and there's hardly anyone with a mask. Yesterday I went to a store and there was probably 100 to, let's say 100 and five ratio meaning with people with mass compared to the people that didn't have mass kind, which I was kind of surprised about. But hey, this is my, that's my observation as we're going around. So how are you feeling about this whole mass thing, not mass thing and all that kind of fun stuff. Do you tend to wear a mask at all times? Are you vaccinated? I know that that still is going to be an ongoing question. And as you are seeing more and more things open up, What are you thinking about it? And how is your work sites? Yes, plural. Going with that particular regards. Just a question. Of course. Anyways, China is easing back on its birth limit. Did you hear about this? The ruling Communist Party announced that couples will be allowed to have three Children instead of two in response to population rising, rising of age. The announcement comes after since his dated Show that China's working-age population shrank over the past decade, while the number of people over 65 rows causing strain on the economy and society, according to the state news, the new birth limit was had been in place since about the 1980s. So there you go. Something's to uh, to think about that's for sure. Anyways. So here you go proposals saying that the OSHA guidelines still have not changed in regards, I'm assuming that he's talking about mass mandate. So that's going to be some stuff to think about for sure. We at safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying is trying to be entertaining rated r safety show. Did you hear about this? A teacher from Hong kong has become the fastest female climber to scale mount Everest. Breaking the record by more than 13 hours. Two song Jihong. Yeah. Hold on to something. Jean hung 45 climbed the world's tallest peak in 25 hours and 50 minutes, beating the record of 39 hours six minutes, which was set by a nepali woman back in 2017. Also author moore 75 became the oldest american to climb to the top. He took the crown from Bill Burke who, who became the oldest At the age of 67 back in 2009. So there you go. There's some, there's some knowledge for you if you cared to know about that stuff. Anyways, you hear about this one. Cristina Barcelona Rivera was found guilty of first degree murder of the uh, in the brutal 2018 killing of college student molly tributes. He will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Worth noting Rivera was uh, in the country. Uh, let's see Rivera was in the country working at a mainstream hold on was working in the country at a farm as a farm worker but had entered the country illegally. I mean, still, let's get it straight. Death is still death. So I don't know. It says something uh, something Okay, hold on. Rivera had entered the country illegally. Something the mainstream media tried to ignore by referring to him as a farm worker but he was a farm worker. But he had entered in illegally. But still let's talk about death as death opposed to just being swept under the rug. I mean, I don't know. What the hell were you thinking when you said that you are listening to something? You're listening to the rated R. Safety show. Let's continue into the world of the news of the weird. He has apparently that's where we're at today. To unusual looking extremely rare lobster were spotted in the market in England. The pair identified as the orange Canadian lobster where listed for about $36 According to the Caterer, Joseph leave the chances of seeing one in a tank is one in 30 million. The chances of seeing too being in the same tank are one in a billion. The unique crossed indians were donated by Birmingham Sea Life Centre. So there you go. What uh what a great outcome of something that you probably didn't truly care about. Safety. Never sounded so terrible rated r safety show. Okay bombshell. New study claims that they have proof the covid 19 virus was created in a chinese lab, british professor and guest dalglish. She and Norwegian scientists burger Chardin wrote that they have primary evidence of redo engineering in china but have been ignored by academics and major medical journals. The study said to be published. Uh let's see the scientific journal Quarterly Review of biophysics Discovery. Well that's an easy one. Accuses chinese scientists of deliberate destruction, concealment and contamination of data. The scientific consensus for much of the pandemic was was that the virus jumped from bats to other animals of humans. Wow, okay. Animals of humans. Maybe they're married to say animals to humans because animals of humans just doesn't sound right. Let's try that again. What did he just say? We don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests back to real safety talk on safety f so I don't know what's going on with the news today, but man, is it something special? Anyway, Scott Peterson, a man convicted in 2005 of killing his pregnant wife, Lacey will not face a new will not face a new death case. The the county's District Attorney office said they would end their efforts to seek a new Dessens against scott. After consulting with Lacey's family, Lacey was eight months pregnant with the couple's son Connor when she disappeared on christmas Eve in 2000 and two. Scott, now 48 has maintained his innocence in the case. A judge was considering whether to grant Peterson a new trial in the case after emerging, uh, after it emerged that a driver failed to disclose that she once sought a restraining order against her ex boyfriend out of fear of her own unborn child. Well, that's kind of a big thing to mention. I would say. I think that should probably been brought up. She might have had some ideas, uh, ahead of time and you know, do it like, so, so what do you think about this? What does it deserve? Another, another rendezvous. Does it deserve another round about as we're talking about this or now? Or do you think, hey, it is what it is. We move forward and talk about it. I don't know. I'm asking you Anyways, two people were killed and over 20 wounded in a mass shooting at a concert in florida early sunday. The shooting took place at midnight at Billard Club just north of Miami. According to law enforcement sources, three suspect pulled up to the club in a white suv and began shooting indiscriminately into the crowd gathered by at the venue after the firing the they fled the scene. Authorities believe that the incident was a targeted act. The investigation remains ongoing as officers search for suspects. That's an interesting one. I mean, here's the thing I know, I know I know when I say this, some things are just not going to make sense and I'm gonna have to say it anyways. But here's the thing when you start thinking about this, here's the gig. When we were talking pre pen. We've had a lot of stuff going on with regards a lot of shootings or excuse me not creep in during pen. Not a lot of things going on with shootings now that things are opening back up. Why is this all of a sudden becoming a huge thing again? I understand now people are doing shit. So don't give me the wrong the wrong way. But man, does this make it interesting? I just don't get it. I don't get it and don't get it. I don't get it. It's just kind of one of these weird world things for sure. Anyways, let's continue talking. There were recorded 1.1 billion smokers in nearly eight million smoking related deaths in 2019 according to a new study fighting from the data of 204 countries and territories as part of the global burden of disease. Shown that 10 countries could account for almost two thirds of the global smokers. They are china, India Indonesia, the U. S. Rose Russia, uh, Bangladesh, Japan, Turkey Vietnam and the Philippines. Researchers also found that the most smokers taking up the habit between the ages of 14-25. The most common health issues tied to smoking include heart disease, chronic obstruction of pulmonary disease and trickles, bronchitis and lung cancer in strokes. Wow, that sounds like something that why, why would you want to pay to do that and get all that kind of fun stuff? Let's continue talking real here. Grill quick. Uh the increase comes as progress against the prevalence of smoking has slowed in the last decade across many countries. So that's part of the other reason on what we're seeing there. Um So what do you think about this? I think it's interesting because I tend to go to a lot of sites where they have the smoking um signs, you know, can't smoke within 50 ft of the door or uh this is a smoke free environment, but you still see smell people smoking. And I don't know, I mean, I still think that if you go to Canada, they have some of the best cigarette cover art and yeah, I mean that sarcastically meaning you see people with their rotting in their teeth and what kind of stuff that can cause. I mean, if that's not a good enough to kind of give you the CBgbs if you smoke, I mean, that's that's that's a number for sure to think about. Uh so I don't know, I don't know how you feel about the whole thing, but it's an interesting aspect as we do talk about it anyways, let's get into some more stories and all that kind of fun stuff as we continue down the path right here. Should we do it? I mean, should we go ahead and just do it? And let's let's do that thing that we do here is our main story on the radio safety show. So let's talk about this because it seems to be that we professionally tend to have this but not realize it. But how often do you go and have conversations with people and you might not agree with what the hell is going on? No, seriously? Like how often does this happen? I mean it should happen pretty often, I would think one would assume and all that other kind of fun stuff. But does it happen? Do you kind of go in and not have the same opinion of others? Seriously now think about it. It's probably the easiest way to have this combo if you really want to go down this path, is thinking about your interactions between you and your organization, especially if you're kind of developing a culture now that's related to safety. Or if you're developing now a culture where there truly understanding safety, there's always kind of that differing of opinions. There's always that differing of how people view the world. You know what I'm talking about there. Does that make sense? I mean, I want you to kind of go through this aspect here because it becomes interesting on the whole aspect of we can't agree on everything and that's okay or the lazy format where it goes, we will agree to disagree. I mean, and I understand people saying that, but it's kind of, it's a lazy argument to say, hey, you don't want to argue with me, you don't want to have the verbal confrontation of whatever the hell we're talking about and that's okay too. But it's interesting to see more and more on how this is becoming a conversation that a lot more people are talking about in regards of the differing of opinions and that's okay. But how do you do it in a professional environment because you can't get into an argument with people um Just to say hey we need to argue about this shit because we're not agreeing on it. But when you start taking a look at it a lot of people refer to this as a D. P. O. Yeah D. P. O. Differing professional opinions. So as I go through things and take a look around and all these kind of fun stuff. You are familiar that we do talk a lot about human and organizational performance which is tied into the D. O. E. Yeah that's where a lot of it came from. So as I was looking through some documents over the weekend because I did do that um I did find a document. Well, I shouldn't say found it over the weekend. I had found it previously. I was reviewing it again over the weekend. I should probably say where they had actually come up with a document a few years back about differing professional opinions for technical issues involving environmental safety and health technical concerns. And I started thinking about this and I said, maybe that's a question for you and I here today. Maybe we need to actually start thinking about this and asking that whole question of do we have documents inside of our organization on how these things would be handled? Now, listen to me, I can tell you because I've heard it 1000 times and well, we've talked about it 100 times heard it. 1000 talked about it. 100 about sometimes some of the paperwork for your organization is not written for a human being to read. It is written in jargon that you're like. What exclusion of paragraph three order applies to this and offer code 7 to 3 does not have the capability to be applicable to the cancellation of Subpart far 532.1. Yes, I know. So imagine if you had a document inside of your organization talking about differing professional opinions now. This one that I have found with the Department of Energy is dated all the way back of over at almost a decade at this point. But it's something that's intriguing to take a look at because it does go over the purpose of the documentation and why it should be in place for if they did have a differing professional opinion on how it could be discussed. And I think more and more as we talk about this, this is something that all organizations should consider putting in place if you don't have one already because this could actually help with a lot of disputes in regards of operations or depending on what categories you want to put it on, what we plan to put it that way. So depending on what categories you put it on, so how operations could be handled safety to handle health, so on environmental. But it gives you some guidelines on how you can have these differing professional opinions when it comes to these issues and how you would actually sequentially go through the information. You have the discussion with other components or our departments inside of the organ. So it can be people that are in this one section or other sections of the organization and going forward. Now, I'm gonna tell you the U. S. Department of Energy has written this documentation and it is order number D. 3044.2 Excuse me 442.2. That's D. O. E O 44 2.2. If you wanted to take a look at what the document is now, it is 21 pages long, I'm going to say if you do make one inside of your organization, you probably don't need to make it 21 pages long. But the Department of Energy does cover some things that we probably don't normally cover inside of our organizations. But I take a look at it and it gives you kind of a rough breakdown of what the guidelines should look like and this kind of covers the whole gamut of things. Now it doesn't go as far as saying, hey, if you have a disagreement, you should go into full blown Brazilian jiu jitsu doesn't say anything along those lines, but it says how to handle these issues and how to handle the conversation on how it would be need to be formed, how it would need to be presented in how you would move forward. The other portion that it talks about is that you have to provide in a reasonable time and resources that proves your point, how you would put them on, you would give them a notice of where you're having a differential in opinion and how you would attach the documents that go with it. Now keep in mind that as this particular document, if you look at it as an example, even goes as far as having conversation with contractors that you might outsource to. And I think it's important because sometimes what happens is is we start doing the work and then we get midstream and then all of a sudden there's a change on how the fluidity or the flow is going because of something that has happened, where if you have something kind of laid out already, where is the general guidelines? This would help you in the long run. So it's just something to think about it. It is a way of being able to professionally have these discussions opposed to saying hey this guy in or this gal that is down the hallway here or this binary all of a sudden is a total a hole when it comes to dealing with a lot of the stuff that we're doing. So this way, if you do have the aspect of where you're not getting along or not seeing eye to eye to eye, you can discuss in a professional matter how the conversation should go in regards of this differing of professional opinions opposed to it just being, you know, the gossip mill of down the hallway of, hey listen, little bobby and little Maggie didn't get along. So maybe we should have this discussion now anyways. Like I did say this document is available online if you're looking for something for an example, but it's D. O. It has ordered D. O. E letter 442.2. I think it's a good way to start a conversation. If this is something that you're considering putting into your organization, you can always reach out to me. We can talk about this. I have no problem with that. Um, and talk about on how a document like this would look inside of your organization if you're so inclined on doing something along those lines. But then again, I look at it and I go, hey, this is what the pros are doing. So maybe it's something for us to consider as well to do. But then again, like I say all the time, what do I know? I'm just a guy behind a microphone. Oops. What did she just say? We have safety FM. Don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now back to real safety talk on safety. FM. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the home of real safety talk. You are listening to safety FM. We'll be right back. Hamilton was adopted from a rescue in 2000 and eight.
