SAFETY SIGNS: SEE THEM AND OBEY THEM.

I recently saw a drain with it's cover open, and alarmingly, just beside it, I saw a sign that clearly read "Cover The Drainage After Use." I was immediately sad and then I started to imagine the implications of not closing that drain and leaving it like that till night-fall. A pedestrian path clearly crosses this drain, so imagine an individual walking past this path at night and expecting that the drain is closed or covered and then twists his leg in the drain. Similarly, I also considered that several other people must have passed this unsafe condition without addressing it, either failing to recognize the effects, or neglecting to fix it.

More so, there are many signs around us that warn us about the dangers of touching a wire, a fence, or passing through a taped-off or barricaded area. There are warning signs on the electrical appliances we use at home that instruct us not to open an appliance's cover, and store it in certain temperature conditions. Many of us consistently ignore these signs and endanger our lives and the lives of the people around us in the process. This is not the right attitude towards safety and health. Also, there are safety signs on some consumer products that ask us not to dispose of these items in certain ways, or burn the containers even when the containers appear to be empty. However, most of us ignore these warnings. I implore us to always look out for warning labels and signs around us and obey them unconditionally. If a sign says "No U-Turn In This Area," do not turn there, if a sign says maintain "10Km/Hrs," please do not exceed this speed limit. Also, whenever we see others not complying to instructions on safety signs, we should confront them and give them feedback or coach them so they can learn the importance of complying and the consequences of violating. Safety is everyones responsibility, let us all do it together.

For more information about how to identify safety warning signs, their meanings, and consequences of not following them, I am sure that the kind folks at +Safety Sign Shop , +Safety Signs and PPE , +Safety Signs Express , +Safety Signage Signs , +Safety Signs and Notices , +Safety Signs & Banners in Dublin | Vehicle Graphic in Dublin - APT Signs, +Safety Signs , +Safety Signs, +Safety Signs Philippines , +Cosch Warning & Public Safety Equipment, +Safety Warning Light , +glow warning and safety sign boards , and +Warning Safety Signs may be willing to answer all your questions. thank you.

TREKKING: WHEN LAST DID YOU TAKE A STROLL

Picture of a mobile phone pedometer showing distance covered on foot and amount of calories burnt

According to the free dictionary by Farlex, trekking involves walking long or short distances on foot. Many people do it as a habit, some take frequent strolls to burn off accumulated calories and fat, while short trek as a sport. Irrespective of the reasons why people choose to trek, health, safety, and medical experts have concluded that it is the safest and most natural way to burn fat and remain healthy.

Also, the African Journals Online (AJOL), claims that being overweight and obesity have been shown to be associated with non-communicable disease (NCDS) like type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension and Ischemic Heart disease (IHD) both in longitudinal and cross sectional overweight and obesity in Nigerian population. This is common knowledge and a lot of overweight and obese people, both young and old and striving very hard to drop that extra kilo of body fat. Many have taken to new and untested prescription drugs and other such medications in a dire attempt to lose weight. According to Mayo Clinic, a renowned subsidiary of the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, a number of weight-loss pills are available at every local drugstore, supermarket or health food store. Even more options are available online over the internet. Most haven't been proved effective, and some may be downright dangerous. The dangers that these drugs present apart from them burning holes in your pockets are copious and could range from elevated blood pressure, severe mood swings, cancer, hormonal imbalance, and drug addiction. These effects have been known to be the cause of many reported suicide cases all around the world. Next time you buy a weight-drug, think about these things.

I have heard some people say "nothing beats sweating it out." Trekking and other forms of exercise will help you shed that extra pound of flesh. However, these method requires a great deal of discipline and dedication which I am sorry to announce that many people do not have. For instance, taking about 9000 steps in a day means you have covered a distance of about 7km and burnt about 370 Kcal of calories. More so, it has the advantage of making you work on your heart. When you take long strolls or work-out in the gym, you keep your beating up, pumping the blood fast and exercising your heart and lungs in the process. It is fun if you try it.

Again, trekking long distances or working-out in the gym and subsequently helping yourself to a very nice big burger, taking a big cup of your favorite ice-cream, and settling everything down with a bottle of bear or soft drink will not help you shed any weight. You have to eat healthy too to lose the weight. It takes a lot of dedication to actually lose weight, but I have seen it work. That prescription drug may ruin you eventually.

For more information about the many advantages of trekking and the disadvantages of over-the-counter prescription drugs, I am sure that the kind folks at +Weight Loss Tips, +Weight Watchers, +Weight Loss Help and Tips, +WEIGHT LOSS, +Weight Loss Diet Help, +Weightlosswowfactor, +Weight Loss Guru, +WeightLoss Buzz, +Exercise and Healthy Living, +Exercise Nation - Ellicott City Fitness Club, +Exercise Nation - Lutherville Fitness Club, +Exercise After Breast Cancer, +Exerceo, +Exercise Physiology HQ, +Exercise And Depression, +ExerciseFriends.com, +Exercise TV, +Trekking | Blog, +Trekking-in, +Trekking Agency in Nepal, +Trekking in Nepal, +Physical Therapy Web, +Physical Therapy Connect, +Physical Therapy, and +Physical Solutions may be happy to answer your numerous questions.

DUMPING REFUSE

picture of disposed refuse on a major road somewhere in west-africa

Refuse refers to waste products generated from various daily human activities; ranging from cooking in the kitchen, laundry, bathing, manufacturing processes, production processes, fabrication tasks and so on. The refuse may be solid, liquid, or gas depending on the type of process that led to its generation. Refuse could be hazardous to man and the environment if not properly handled. This is why many governments around the world are taking great steps to ensure that waste products are either reusable, recycled, or biodegradable. However, some governments are still playing catch-up. There are some efforts by private sector refuse disposal companies to render waste collection services in many locations especially in West-Africa, but some people prefer to depend on the government, after all they pay their taxes.

If you depend on the government for refuse disposal in your community, it is important that you properly secure your waste items in a disposal waste bag so that the contents are not exposed. Also, body fluids from items that contain human blood and other such hazardous materials should be labeled separately and stored in such a way that the refuse collection team sees the label and handles it with care. This will enable them protect themselves in case the blood has some form of infectious disease. Also, if you depend on private refuse disposal companies for disposing your waste, you must also secure your waste items properly in refuse waste bags. If there are hazardous waste in the refuse, you should label them accordingly. Furthermore, use a large refuse collection drum or other such container to keep the refuse outside your home. It is recommended that you use a drum with a lid. This will keep flies and rodents away from the refuse. If animals get in contact with the refuse, and then touch our food or even vital parts of our bodies, this may lead to a medical condition. Health is wealth, and one way to contact diseases, is poor refuse management systems. I also implore governments to make such that they collect refuse at very frequent intervals to avoid residential refuse disposal areas from turning into permanent refuse dump sites.

For more information on refuse disposal and waste management, the kind folks at +Waste Management, +Waste & Recycling News, +Waste Industries, +Wastewater Dan, +WasteForce, +Waste Jobs, +wastedisposalservice london, +Wastedisposal Cyntox, +American Waste Septic Tank Service, +AmericanWastelandEnt, +American Waste Systems Inc., +AmericanWasteland, +Waste Management World, +ReSource Environmental Solutions, +wastemanagement, +wastemanagementcy, +WasteManagement93, +WasteManagement AndRecycling, +WasteManagementOC, and +wastemanagement Plan may be willing to answer your questions.

A FIRST AID KIT; DO YOU HAVE ONE?

Picture of a fully fitted first aid kit, taken in a clinic's recuperation area somewhere in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

A was snoring peacefully one night, probably dreaming of the next serious and major big break in my life when my wife shook me rather too violently, forcing me to abandon my pleasant sojourn in dream's wonderland and come back to the harshness of reality. I was vexed. I was vexed because I love my sleep and do not take kindly to being woken up suddenly from it, but when I saw the sad and concerned look on her face, I quickly brightened up my countenance, forced a reassuring smile to quickly cross my face, and then asked her what the problem was. She told me that my son's forehead was terribly hot! I felt his head and remembered that I had a cold-pack in my first aid box, I grabbed it fast, read the instructions and followed them meticulously, applying the now cold-pack on my boy's forehead. In a matter of minutes, his temperature started to drop. It did not rise again until the next morning when we took him to see a physician, who said he was just reacting to the vaccination shots he got for his 9th month immunization.

The first aid box had come in handy, because without it, the boys temperature may have continued to rise and we would have been compelled to drive out of the house in the middle of the night in search of medical assistance. This is exactly what a first aid box does, it preserves and sustains life until medical help comes. Imagine that your son fell while practicing his football skills outside, and then starts to bleed, what would you do if you do not have a first aid box kit? Some may try to stop the bleeding by placing a dirty piece of cloth on it, whereas a gauze or sterilized cotton wool from the first aid box could have been used to stop the bleeding, before cleaning it with methylated spirit, and dressing it with plaster. There are many other small accidents that can happen at home that first aid boxes can help prevent from causing life threatening illnesses.

First aid boxes are not expensive, and are generally easy to maintain or replenish.

The items required for a basic first aid box are: sterilized cotton wool, methylated spirit, iodine, an antiseptic, plaster, crepe- bandages, triangular bandages, plastic tweezers, a pair of scissors, disposable rubber gloves, disposable nose masks, insect sting ointment, safety pins, pain killers, thermometer, aspirin, oral rehydration salts, and dermazine ointment. It is important that you also understand what the items are used for. For more information on the importance of keeping a first aid kit handy at home, the basic contents of a first aid box, and how to use the contents of a first aid box, am sure that the kind folks at +American Red Cross, +Red Cross Training, +New Zealand Red Cross, +RedCrossENC +Emergency Response USA, +SeniorDevices EmergencyResponse, +Emergency Medical Associates, +Emergency Medicine Physicians, +bagudodivision nigerianredcross, +canadianredcross, +HealthCare.gov, +Paramedic Association of Canada, +paramedicalshop.com, +Paramedics Unlimited, +Paramedic Training Spot, +Paramedic Aid Co.

BAD ROLE MODEL

This picture shows a Federal Road Safety vehicle moving at top speed with an agent sitting dangerously behind

A colleague of mine came to work uncharacteristically late one Thursday afternoon, so I asked him why he came in late. He was sweating from the severe effects of the hot Ibadan sun and was still trying to catch his breath. He eventually composed himself well enough and told me that he was arrested by members of the Federal Road Safety Corps. This is usual, especially if you drive without a seatbelt in Nigeria. So I asked him what his offense was even though I knew what the answer would be already. He told me that he stopped off the road enroute to the office to drop off a friend and forgot to put his seatbelt back on, and also went on to narrate to me how the federal officers stopped him, asked him a pay a certain amount of money he did not have, forced him to drive the car back to their station when he could not, deflated all four of his tyres, and asked him to go to a very very far away financial institution to pay a fine. He was exhausted by the time he was done paying the fine. Then when his vehicle was released to him, he could not find a technician, locally referred to as a vulcanizer to fix the tyres, by the time he eventually got one, he had spent almost all of his time at the federal road safety corps station.I scolded my friend for not driving with his seatbelt on and told him to endeavour never to drive without them. I also went ahead to explain the importance of driving with a seatbelt to him. As a matter of fact, I am so obsessed with driving with my seat belt properly fastened on that my son would not even let me move the car without them.

However, just some days after my friend's encounter with the federal road safety officers, I saw a federal road safety corps vehicle speeding down a major road with an officer sitting on the trunk of the mini van's bed. If the driver brakes suddenly, the officer will definitely lose his front teeth at a minimum. Now, with this type of behavior, the federal road safety corps officers involved here have clearly not demonstrated the right road safety standards that they themselves preach and arrest other road users for violating. They have not been a good role model worthy of emulating. The best way to develop a safety culture and awareness in people is to show them how by doing the right thing. Not demonstrating the right safety culture as leaders make us forfeit our rights to confront unsafe behaviors. My plea to us today is to seek to know the right safety cultures and practice them. It does not stop there, encourage others to practice the right safety cultures too, but not leading by example will make this impossible. Be safe out there, and be the best safety role model that you can be.

For questions on how to be a good safety role model, as well as for questions on road safety rules, expectations and laws, I am sure that the kind folks at +Business Leaders’ Health & Safety Forum, +Public Safety Thought Leadership, +Safety Leader Insight, +Center for Public Safety Command and Leadership, +Safety & Leadership, +Center for Public Safety Command and Leadership, +Road Safety Practices in Nigeria, +Road Safety Initiatives LLP, +Road Safety Initiative, +Road Safety Fund, +road safety consultancy, +Road Safety 360, +Road Safety Decade 2011-2020, +Road Safety Contracts Ltd, +FederalRoad SafetyCorps, +Mark Sadan, and +Christy Minch may be willing to answer your questions.

NO NEED FOR SPEED!

Picture showing the speedometer of a vehicle involved in a near accident recently.

People who are used to pushing the speed limits of machines often mock those who say they are very uncomfortable with driving at ridiculous speeds. More so, it is now a form of social acclaim to have the nerve to drive fast. Imagine a man driving down a highway at top speed. He is used to the road and knows the bends and curves so well. He also knows that the local government does a good work of patching the roads so well that he has never seen a ditch in the middle of this particular highway before. So it's a Friday evening and he has to get home to his family and decides to wing it. He steps on the gas and is soon tearing down the highway at 120km/hr. Then suddenly, as he emerges from a curve, he sees some goats crossing the highway and he unconsciously hits his breaks in a desperate attempt to avoid hitting the goats. The car swings uncontrollably to the left and then to the right, and then to the left again before heading into the bushes! Imagine the loss of life, or the loss of property if he survives, then imagine the family anxiously waiting for him at home.

These days, there are many motion pictures, media adverts, and video game franchises that promote speed, and there are individuals who love to move as fast as the limits of certain machines will permit them to. Some people claim that they actually experience a certain metaphorical spiritual high each time they push their cars or power motocycles to the limits. Others say that they experience a sense of freedom at top speed, hence the need for more speed. The need for speed is rapidly increasing. While some drive fast as a form or recreation, others do so because everybody is in a mad hurry to be somewhere these days. This need or craving for speed is dangerous and may result to death.

According to Stephen D. (September 24, 2012), the FRSC- Federal Road Safety Corp, the Nigerian Agency in charge of road safety, statistics show that in the first half of the year 2012, about 1,936 people lost their lives in road accidents across Nigeria. These accidents may be attributed to reckless driving, bad roads, inavailability of street lights, among other things. Road users do not have any influence on bad roads, and street lights, but can influence reckless driving.

There are various speed limits recommended by different states around the world for all kinds of roads. Residential areas, highways, major roads, commercial roads, and so on. I personally try never to drive beyond 80 Km/hr on highways, but will suggest that road users should follow the state or area speed limits recommended. These speed limits are usually clearly posted on the roads, look out for them and other road safety signs and be safe out there. There really is no need for top speed in real life, we will all get to our destinations, eventually, even if we drive carefully. Plan your time carefully, leave home early to avoid traffic jams and maintain a appropriate speed limit at all time.

For more information on speed limits and driving safely on the road, I am sure that the kind folks at +FederalRoad SafetyCorps, +RoadSafe Traffic Systems, Inc., +RoadSafetyBC, +RoadSafetyUAE, +Road Safety First Driving School, +Road Safety 360, +DrivingSafe.co.uk, +DriveSafe, +DriveSaferKansas, +Drivesafe RoadSafety, +Safe Driving School Inc, +Safe Drivers Institute of America, LLC., +Drivingsafetycoursetexas.com, and +American Red Cross may be willing to answer your questions.

POUR WATER!

picture taken somewhere in Ibadan, Nigeria showing a fire man and fire woman in action.

I was watching Super-Force; a futuristic Sci-Fi series on NTA2 Channel 5, one Thursday evening many years ago with my beloved older brother when we clearly heard our neighbors from the building a block away shouting “Pour water! Pour water.” Their Kitchen was on fire and they were attempting to extinguish the fire with water. Whenever there is a fire outbreak, at an average, 85% of us instinctively consider using water as an extinguishing medium. If the source of the fire were not electrical, or gaseous, then by all means pour as much water as you can because water will suppress the ability of the fuel the continue the process of combustion. However, if the source of a fire outbreak is electrical or gaseous, using water may cause electrocution or death, for electrical fires; and may cause an explosion if the source of the fire is gaseous.

There are 3 basic components of fire. These include the following; fuel, oxygen, and an ignition source. The components form what experts refer to as the fire triangle. You may represent the fire equation as:

Fuel + Oxygen + Ignition Source = Fire.

Fuel does not refer only to the regular fuel our cars run on. It actually refers to anything that can be consumed by fire, or anything that can burn- combustible materials like paper, cloth, wood, plastic, stone (at the right temperature), metal (at the right temperature), and flammable materials.

Oxygen is available in air and forms 21% of the air we breathe.

Ignition source refers to a spark, extreme temperatures, a naked flame, or even smoke that can trigger a fire flash.

If any of the components of fire is taken out of the fire equation, fire is extinguished. This is the fundamental principle of fire-fighting.

There are basically 4 types of fire, and each type has a unique fire extinguishing medium. Therefore, understanding the type of fire, and what medium to use in an attempt to extinguish the fire is important. Water will not always work. The four types of fire are:

1. Class A Fire: This is fire involving only ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, clothe, plastic, stone, human tissue, animal tissue, stone, and metal

2. Class B Fire: This is fire involving flammable liquids like petrol, diesel, grease, and cooking oil.

3. Class C Fire: This refers to gaseous fire involving gases such as Liquefied petroleum gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas), also referred to as simply propane or butane.

4. Class D Fire: These are all forms of electrical fire.

As mentioned already, there are different ways of fighting the different classes of fire. The table below shows the type of fire and the best extinguishing medium to use:

CLASS OF FIRE	BEST EXTINGUISHING MEDIUM
Class A Fire	Water
Class B Fire	ABC or Dry Chemical Powder fire extinguisher
Class C Fire	ABC or Dry Chemical Powder fire extinguisher
Class D Fire	CO2 fire extinguisher

Also, note that sand maybe used for Class B and C types of fire. A material called The Fire Blanket is very suitable in Kitchens for Class C Fires. You may have noticed sand buckets in Fueling Stations around, and fire blankets in state of the art Kitchens. More so, the ABC or dry chemical powder is a universal fire extinguisher. However, it is not advisable to use this type of extinguisher for electrical fires involving electrical appliances because it causes the circuitry system and wiring to corrode, thereby destroying the electrical appliance. Especially if you plan to reuse the electrical devices involved in fires, try using the CO2 for electrical fires. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers do not render electrical devices useless after use.

Furthermore, the ABC dry chemical powder fire extinguisher usually comes in Red cylinders, while the CO2 fire extinguishers come in Black cylinders. Please, next time you encounter a fire, understand the class and use the appropriate fire extinguisher. You may want to have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and in your car. These things help prevent the loss of life and property.

For more information or details on how to understand the various types of fire and how to effectively extinguish them, I am sure that the kind folks at +Fire Fighting Technologies, +fire fighting, specialized and rescue equipments, +fire fighting equipments for home, +Fire fighting equ.|Fire extinguisher Manufacturer|Rent|supplier, +Fire Suppression Ltd, +Omaha Professional Fire Fighters Association, +Fire Suppression Services, +Fire Support Network, +US Fire Equipment, +NY Fire Equipment, +Crandall Fire, +State of Nevada Department of Public Safety Fire Marshal Division, and +Conex Fire Fighting & Fire Alarm Systems Qatar may be happy to answer all your questions.

NO CARRY OVER-LOAD!

"No carry over-load," was a phrase used by bus drivers in a rather lame way of advising their conductors not to over-load the vehicle with more goods and people than the bus could bear. The conductors would often not heed this advice and load as much as they can unto the bus in order to make extra cash in a trip. Accidents have happened because of over-loaded buses and accidents still happen because of over-loaded electrical sockets.

Every electrical socket has a rated power which usually is the maximum electrical load it can hold. Exceeding this often causes short-circuiting, which in turn leads to overheating. When overheating occurs on electrical devices, insulators melt, and fire starts. When fire starts, the outcome may be loss of property or even worse still, death.

Most electrical devices have their rating clearly written on them. You may find this in small prints behind the devices. Know the ratings and do not exceed them. You may have gotten away once or even more times with over-loading an electrical socket or device, probably because you were lucky. When luck runs out like it always eventually does (ask a gambler), fire will start and losses will be incurred.

I implore you to always be safe, overloading electrical sockets and devices is very unsafe, stop it and encourage others to stop it as well.

For more details on how to avoid overloading electrical sockets and appliances the kind folks at +Electrical Safety First, +Electrical Engineers Online, +Electrical Technology, +Electrical Basics, +Electrical Safety Testing Laboratory, +Luminaire Testing Laboratory, LED Testing Laboratory may be willing to answer your questions.

WALKING CLOSE TO THE CLOUDS.

Picture shows a man inspecting a roof in Ibadan without PPE
Let me say that walking close to the clouds in this case refers to walking at height. Walking at height means walking at a vertical elevation greater than 1.2m from the ground.

At this height, any fall would result to at least a broken bone and often may lead to death if the victims land on their head. Spinal injuries are also associated with falls from heights greater than 1.2m.

This is why people walking at height should use fall protection equipment whenever they are performing any tasks at height or just taking a walk at height to assess roofs and platforms.

A typical fall protection equipment includes the following:

A hard hat

A body harness

A lanyard

Safety shoes with good grip soles

A lifeline system

An anchorage point

A scaffold system.

At a minimum, a hard hat, a pair of safety shoes, a body harness, a lanyard, and an anchorage point must be used to ensure that workers are protected at height.

Also, if the height is just about 1.2m, a scaffold system may be erected.

Next time you observe people working at height without the appropriate fall protection equipment, please confront them, you may save a life by doing this.

For more details on how to protect yourself and loved ones against fall from height related accidents, the kind folks at +National Association of Home Builders, +OHSA - Occupational Health Services Australia, +ANSI - American National Standards Institute, +Fallprotection4you, and +Fall Protech Consulting Ltd. may be willing to answer your questions.
