David Parker Photography
We have been moved by the photography of David L. Parker whom we met at the recent annual conference of the American Industrial Hygiene Association. Since 1992, Mr. Parker has pursued dual careers: working as an occupational physician and epidemiologist in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and photographing children working, labor conditions, and public health problems around the world. His work has been widely exhibited in museums throughout North America. He has written and photographed three books: Stolen Dreams: Portraits of Working Children (Lerner Publications, 1998), and By These Hands: Portraits from the Factory Floor, (Minnesota Historical Society, 2002). A third book, Before Their Time: The World of Child Labor, was published in early 2007.
He has also written almost 75 scientific manuscripts and reports, and am recipient of the Christopher Award for work affirming the highest values of the human spirit.
Here is a link to his website. We think you will be equally moved by his words and images.

President's Corner
by Ryan Hellman
I recently caught up with an old friend who has been in the
safety business for decades. We talked
about past hunting trips, family holidays, and, of course, the darkening

regardless of the economic cycles, of which he has seen many, the impact of a
safe workplace impacts both lives and dollars.
I concur with my wise friend and have experienced both the consequences
of positive and negative safety decisions.
