Coveralls for the Safe Everyday Man
Always dress for the occasion. That is the cardinal rule for work. If you are a businessman, you'll be going to work in a suit. If you're a carpenter, a plumber, or a farmer you go to work in your overalls. But if you work in a factory, or in some labor intensive area that requires you to be adequately protected, you're going to need a good pair of coveralls. Coveralls, unlike overalls, cover the entire body excluding the head, and the hands, and are the gear of choice for factory workers, mechanics, firemen, and those in contact with industrial chemicals. The coverall is also known as a boilersuit. It is a full-length, one-piece suit that looks like the jumpsuits pilots use, except that[..]

Natural ventilation depends on winds outside and convection currents inside a building. Winds raise air pressure slightly on the windward side of a building and lower it slightly on the lee side. The pressure difference promotes circulation into the building on the windward side and out of it on the lee side. Convection currents are caused by the sinking of colder and therefore heavier air, which displaces the warmer air. A building may have a roof ventilator to allow the rising warm air to escape. If there is an opening to the outside at the bottom of the building, fresh, cool air will be drawn in. Proper ventilation requires that there be a movement or circulation of the air within the[..]
How Cann A Trampoline Be Fun For Everyone
The first trampolines were said to be used by the Inuit people who used to toss each other into the air on a walrus skin. This may have also occurred in Europe with people using a blanket; this is very similar to the practice used by firemen to catch people from falling buildings. The very first trampolines were made by Nissen and Griswold in 1934. They had experimented by stretching a piece of canvas out and used coil springs, it was used as a training device for tumblers but obviously soon became popular in its own right. The name came from the Spanish word trampolin which means diving board. Benefits of Trampolines Obesity is reaching crisis levels in modern society, and in these[..]

Are There Any Good Cops Left?
One day I happened to go to downtown Charlotte to register some business documents and was told to go from this building to that. From this room to the next. I have a disability from a bad car accident, so on the way through one of the buildings - which happened to have some of the criminal and/or traffic courts I had to sit and rest my back. The only place to sit was inside one of these courtrooms. So I sat and was amazed at what I heard. It wasn't what I heard from the judge or assistant district attorney that caught me offguard. It was what I heard from the police. They were there to answer for the citations and such they issued. According to the U.S. Constitution every person is[..]
Choosing The Perfect Trampoline Mat
Trampoline mats are an integral part to the trampoline. Think of those old black and white films with firemen that would stretch out a tarp for people to land on. It is the tarp that allowed the firemen to safely catch people, and it is the trampoline mat that allows users to safely jump. So before sending your kids out for an afternoon in the air, check the integrity of the mat before proceeding. Check for holes, worn spots, slashes, cuts, and loose stitching. Do not allow trampoline use if the mat is damaged in anyway. You must fix or order a new mat before continuing to use the trampoline. Fret not, buying a new mat is as easy as 1, 2, 3! 1.

To Go From a Zero to a Management Hero
Robert F. Mager, Experience Trainer, once said "To go from a zero to a management hero to answer these question you'll strive" Where am I going? How will I get there? and How will I know I've arrived"? With these thoughts in mind, you, as management, must decide what direction that you want your process to go.

From a Safety or Quality Professional point of view, let's explore the Zero question. What does a zero injury or quality system really look like?

With the current shape of the US economy and thousands of people losing their jobs every day, there have been notable increases in retail theft and shoplifting which results in a greater need for loss prevention employment.

I've always been impressed with salespeople and entrepreneurs who have the abilities and skills to accomplish so muchon a daily basis. And not surprisingly - they are usually the high performers. I gotta tell you about an article I just read in Saturday's Wall Street Journal written by Peggy Noonan. It's vintage Noonan - who is one of my favorite writers. She can tell a story with glaring clarity - not a bad trait for professional salespeople to have. She talks about an event in the life of Gen. David Petraeus, who is you know the commander of U.S. troops in Iraq. Now don't get your tail feathers up - this article isn't about politics - so I encourage you to keep reading. Here a few[..]

Fire Protection For Businesses
It is quite striking to note that fire protection is a highly underrated policy here in the United Kingdom. If we take a look at the situation it is especially staggering - fires occur quite frequently in the country. Even if we are a highly educated populace, we don't do well in terms of controlling this highly preventable disaster.

This is why nowadays, more and more businesses have become aware of modern fire safety equipment and practices such as the use of CO2 fire extinguishers on electrical fires and regular employee fire training.

Folks said Uncle Athanatious didn't have enough sense to come in out of the rain. However, neither would you if you were in his business. Uncle Athan - no one dared call him by his full handle - operated a gunpowder mill. Dynamite was safer, but three times more expensive than black powder and harder to set off. Farmers of Boot Heel preferred the local "stump lifter" so ably concocted by Uncle Athan. Back then, explosives were in great demand for clearing land. Black powder was ideal because it exploded at a slower rate than dynamite and thereby exerted unremitting pressure on tree roots. Black powder also made great firecrackers - particularly rockets and salutes. The latter were fist-[..]

The earliest form of insurance was Marine Insurance and the first policies date back to the 13th century in Genoa & Palermo.

The introduction of conventional fire doors and partitions can have a disastrous affect on a building's character and historic interest. Risk assessment and the development of a strategic approach to fire safety measures can lead to more sympathetic solutions. While modern buildings are designed from the outset to allow the occupants to leave quickly and easily in the event of a fire, adapting an historic building is more difficult. Two primary factors must be considered: the protection of persons either living, working or visiting the premises; and the protection of the building fabric and its contents. If the building concerned is also open to the visiting public, the requirement for[..]

How to Overcome Stress
We have all had our share of stress.. I always was cynical towards people who complained of experiencing misfortunes. I used to say that they do not have a positive attitude and whatever they anticipate comes to pass. "As a man thinketh, so is he." But now I think differently. Some things can be learned only by experience. Some may be pleasant and some unpleasant. But it is necessary to have both good and bad experiences. Last year we lost our house in a fire. It was a terrible loss because the property was under insured. My wife and some of my friends questioned me as to why this disaster should happen to me, a positive person. I myself did not know why! But I knew one thing.[..]
