Kids Safety Tips 1 (Biking)

You didn't ride bike when you were a kid, oh my, you have missed and the bad part is you don't have an idea what you missed. oh yeah let me stop using you, you, you I have missed too lol and why was that? cause I was always too scared, so careful I didn't want even the tiniest scratch on me, I didn't want to feel even the slightest pain what so ever but then I missed all the fun, the exercise, the freedom, feel of the cool breeze and the feeling of belonging to the fun group "oh my, pained much".

And now I know some parents will have kids like me, you can help your kids by giving them a little assurance of no hurt, no pain by making them feel safe and putting the following biking safety tips for kids to use:

• First and most important ensure they wear a helmet to protect them from head injuries. Head injuries are very dangerous and can result to serious damage or even death so always be a step ahead of danger/accident. use your helmet and please use the right helmet don't give Daddy's helmet to junior or wear junior the wrong size, when you go to pick up the helmet ask for biking helmet for kids and ensure you go with your kid so they can try it on.
• Wear them their knee pad to protect their knees from knee injury, it is another part where kids get easily injured when they bike and the bad part is, this part is hard to heal so why wait to go through all the stress of watching your child go through pain without being able to heal them, when you could have done the right thing and save them the trouble and yourself the trauma.
• Ensure they wear shoes that cover their whole feet and not the ones that will either expose their toes or heels
• Never leave your kid to bike on their own, they should always bike in the presence of an adult, Why? cause the danger an adult see coming while sitting down,, a child cannot see while biking, lol a little twist right there. Plus your presence also serve other purposes but we will be unto that, next time.
• And lastly ensure they don't wander to the main road, they should always be on the side walk and opposite oncoming vehicle, that is, in the absence of a garden, playground, lawn e.t.c.
• Do not allow loose clothing for biking always ensure they wear fitted cloths.
• Teach them to obey traffic rules while young and they will never depart from it

Just maybe with a little assurance and the feeling of being save, your kid would not be a scared cat and he will not have to miss out on wonderful fun experience for kids. Always be careful, always

Does Your Organization Enforce Its Established Safety Rule?

Ohh it is soooo easy for organisations to pride themselves as the best Safety Practicing Company, they come out of every other audit clean and aced, they have their policies, rules, plan intact and better yet all the personnel and resources are not left out. Customers, contractors and the general masses know they are on top of their safety game and oh they are the envy of other Companies. 

Boooom something happens and the outcome of the investigation leave people wondering. Are these Companies really who they say they are, have they been who they have been portraying themselves to be? Who are they behind the prying eyes of Governing Bodies,  Customers, Contractors, Stakeholders etc.

Mmmmh I wonder. Leave your comments, thank you

HSE Basics

I just realized we have not done the basic Introduction to HSE for some of our readers that might not be familiar with the terms we are going to be using here and will probably need some vital information from here. Well like they always say "it is better late than never". Please note that this is going to be given to you in bits. If you are not familiar with the terms already, then you might or can get easily bored with them if chocked with so many terms at a time and in turn lose interest in HSE and we do not want that for so just stay updated with our post and you will be getting it interestingly in bits.

So let us start with knowing the meaning of the acronym HSE or HSSE 'depends on the Company's preference'

H- Health

S-Safety and S-Securit

E-Environment

Well that is simply it and in case you are wondering why so many colors, well if you are going to be dealing with Safety in any way then you will have to get familiar with playing with colors "we will get to why when we get to safety colors" get used to the meaning of this acronyms for now. ciao

OUR Earth, Our Only Environment

The importance of taking care of the Environment can never be over emphasized.

An Environment in a very simple term can be said to be anything or premises that surrounds you and this come alongside so many features like animals, humans, cars, truck, trees, People (referred to as biodiversity) etc. The Natural state of the Environment can be altered by man’s (Our) activities which can either be of positive or negative impact on it and sooner or later on you. Therefore it is of utmost importance that you and everyone around you should be the ultimate Engineer of what they expect of their Environment

The statement "what you give is what you get" relates perfectly to People and the Environment

If we:

• Plant trees and nurture them
• Dispose our waste properly
• Clean and Sanitize our Environment and drainages
• Segregate our waste for easy separation and recycling
• Minimize our waste and strive to optimize the use of our materials/items before disposal etc.

The environment will in turn give us:

• Clean and fresh air
• Conducive/Healthy Environment
• Fertile soil and in turn healthy crops for our consumption
• And most importantly we continue to exist, our generation to come will be assured of their existence (update on WED, Themed "sustainable production and consumption" coming" 

But if we do not:

• Dispose our waste properly
• Clean and sanitize our drainages and surroundings
• Mow our lawns and cut down your grass as at when due
• Avoid waste and even burning them
• Practice Sustainability

Then don't be too surprised when you get:

Flooding, contaminated air, ozone layer depletion resulting to global warming, Green House Effect and acid rain, Frequent ill health and all (read our last article for recent natural disaster), Extinction (Do you want to become history?)

This year's WED (World Environmental Day) on the 5th of June, 2015 dwelled more on this. Ensure you do all you can to keep your temporary and consistent Environment clean and habitable for you, everyone and other species around you.

Always remember that first you need to avoid waste, if you can't then apply the 5Rs of caring for your Environment which are Reduce, Recover Residue, Reuse, and Recycle and finally treat then dispose properly, apply these in your daily activities.

Update on WED article soon!!!
