8 CRITICAL Lessons We Can Learn From Fire Drill @WORK.Abdul Shukor
Fire @Workplace! Nobody likes this. Fire destroys our workplace and may destroy our CAREER too. When fire is small, we control it. When it spreads very quickly, we are outnumbered! So, conducting a fire drill at our workplace is an important event and everybody should participate. Here, I share with you EIGHT critical lessons that may be very useful in the unfortunate event of fire at your workplace.
SUMMARYA tillerman proceeded to the roof to investigate a fire r.docxpicklesvalery
SUMMARY
A tillerman proceeded to the roof to investigate a fire reported out. He began to experience chest pains, which he initially trivialized. Fortunately, his crew insisted that he be checked out, and he later discovered an MI had been occurring.
EVENT DESCRIPTION
A truck company went to the roof to investigate a fire that was already out on arrival. The tillerman proceeded up the aerial with his SCBA and tools. At the tip of the aerial, he started to experience mild chest pains, nausea and shortness of breath. He attributed it to a cold he had been fighting over the previous weeks and the dinner they’d just eaten.
When he returned to the turntable, he found the shortness of breath was more noticeable. Again he just he attributed it to being out of shape, his cold and the cold temperature outside, the new guys cooking and anything else that may put his mind at ease.
Back on the ground, he took off some gear and the driver asked if he was OK. He was sweating heavily for the little amount of work and the nausea was getting worse. By now, other firefighters were checking on him and made sit down. A request for an ambulance was made and command was informed of what was going on, while others started to treat his symptoms. He was transported to the local ER where he was kept overnight for observation.
He never felt sharp pains he would associate with a heart attack, but he knew things weren’t right when a few of the brothers with him at the ER kept watching the monitor. The next morning, he was sent to another hospital for a catheterization. They thought it was a blockage and that he would be out of the hospital the next morning. After he arrived at that hospital, he was in the Cath lab within the hour.
When he was finally taken to his room, the doctor was talking with his wife, who was crying. That’s when the doctor told him there were no blockages; his heart had weakened to about 20% capacity. He started talking about pacemakers, defibrillators and everything else. The one thing that stood out was when the doctor told him, “Had you not had this checked when you did, it would have killed you!”

TAKE AWAYS
The reporter included some excellent lessons to be learned from this event.
Listen to what your body is telling you. Personal factors may discourage firefighters from having regular physicals and participating in fitness evaluations. Despite experiencing similar symptoms or performing certain day-to-day activities with difficulty, they hesitate to seek the help they need. No one wants to hear that something’s wrong, but pretending nothing is happening doesn’t mitigate the situation and can potentially make things much worse.
The reporter in this case admits that a normal stress test wouldn’t have found his condition, but it could have helped if done on a regular basis. Annual fitness and health evaluations are part of ensuring your safety and health, so look at it as a benefit that ...

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Fire drill report
1. Pre-Announced Fire drill at Power Station during normal working hours
A mock fire drill was conducted on Wednesday 18th
January 2012 at xxxx in the presence
of two Health and Safety Officers.
Shift foreman on duty was informed about a fire outbreak near decantation system at
10.00 am. Fire alarm was raised and the team leader attended the site of fire. Fire services
were also informed by phone.
Below is a summary of the event:
10.01 – team leader assessed the gravity of the fire and gave necessary instructions to the
shift foreman to put out the fire. Alarm was raised and fire services were called.
10.02 – People starting evacuating the building and went to the assembly point together
with the roll call officer.
10.03 – Shift foreman and his team organized to put the equipment in place, i.e. unrolling
and connecting the hoses and fittings.
10.05 – Hoses were connected and hydrant was opened.
10.06 – The team leader was informed by the roll call officer that all personnel in the
station was gathered at the fire assembly point and a team was ready if required.
10.07 – Fire services arrived on site lead. They immediately proceeded to the concerned
region of fire.
10.11 – Fire fighting operation was stopped. Shift foreman and his team joined the
assembly point.
2. Recommendations
1. Keep the entrance clear during the exercise. The Fire Assembly location was
changed.
2. The Roll call officer and the person to make liaison should be two different
persons.
3. At least one First Aider should be present on site.
4. The place where fire alarm was not heard was remedied.
5. To perform a surprise Fire Drill.
3. Conclusion
Fire Drill presents an opportunity for personnel to become familiar with main and
alternate escape routes, emergency procedures and safety considerations. A fire drill
should be carried out at least once a year. Everyone must participate in the fire drill.
During a pre- announced all employees are provided with instructions and training so
that they know what to do in the event of a fire. Every employee, including those on
temporary or short term contracts and others likely to be on the premises must know:
how to raise the alarm if they discover a fire
how to contact the fire brigade
how to use the fire-fighting equipment and in what circumstances
how to evacuate the building
where to assemble and who to report to
At least once a year it is also recommended not to announce fire drills in advance so
you get a realistic idea of how effective the fire evacuation plans is.
