I am happy to announce that Blog4Safety made the list of top twenty-five safety articles again!? Our thanks to Sam Banai, who submitted the article: ?How To Outfit Your Business for Winter.??pb
Welcome to another week of the blogosphere?s best safety & security news! There were a lot of important tip posts this week, so I tried to round out the seriousness with upbeat safety news, too. For example, did you know that a U.K.-based company has developed a harness seatbelt for safer driving (or car riding) while pregnant? Ladies, the third trimester just got a little bit less uncomfortable.
I hope you enjoy my favorites. As always, if there?s something I missed, please let me know in the comments.

Family & Child Safety
- If you?ve ever worried about what to do in the case of anaphylactic shock, you can?t miss Caroline?s post over at The Grateful Foodie on four missed anaphylaxis emergency care opportunities.
- When Inhabitots mentioned the world?s first seatbelt designed for pregnant women, it was all I could do not to shout YES! It looks more like a race car harness than your standard belt, and is designed to keep mother and baby safe in the event of an accident.
- Did you know that heart disease kills more women than breast cancer? Read all about heart health ? for men and women ? over at Safety Mom.
- Admittedly, growing pains are not so much a safety concern as a question of your little one?s comfort and happiness. But we all want to minimize our children?s pain, so The Parent Report has some easy tips on what to do if your child is experiencing growing pains.
- File this one under obvious-but-forgotten: if your child has special needs, is in public school, and has and IEP, Judy Safety Source reminds us that he or she should have a personalized emergency evacuation program.
- If anyone has ever taken care of your child, you probably know how awkward/hard/uncomfortable/stressful (take your pick!) it can be to relay your wishes in a way that doesn?t make you seem? well, kind of nuts. Sierra from Common Sense Media has some really great, really sane tips on how to communicate screen time rules for every occasion.
- Have you checked your credit report lately? Dennis from iKeepSafe tells you why you need to run regular reports, and how you can do it with minimal headache.

Senior Safety
- Change is constant, but it?s also hard. And change is particularly difficult for seniors, who are experiencing major transitions, like the death of a spouse or loss of independence. Aging Wisely gives some good advice on how not to handle transitions for the seniors you love.
- This week, Susan from Help! Aging Parents also reminded us that it?s never too soon (or too late) for a refresher on the signs of stroke and learning proper emergency response to a stroke.

- It?s easy to demonize cyberbullies, even the pint-sized ones, but Tim from uKnowKids has a great point: is your child a cyberbully without knowing it? Remember, even well-intentioned kids can get swept up into peer pressure. Sometimes all it takes to turn bullying around is a bit of parental guidance on netiquette and The Golden Rule.
- And while we?re on the topic of kids and their roles in cyberbullying, Sameer from the Cyberbullying Research Center reports on a very encouraging trend: young students are now using plays to combat cyberbullying.
