Occupational hazards and pulmonary diseaseKhush Mehta
This document discusses occupational health hazards and pulmonary diseases. It defines occupational health as promoting worker well-being in all occupations. Hazards are things that can cause harm if uncontrolled. Occupational diseases are caused by one's occupation. The document outlines physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial hazards in the workplace. It provides examples of diseases caused by different hazards like silicosis from silica dust exposure. Prevention measures are discussed for different hazards to protect worker health.
First aid is emergency care provided until full medical treatment is available. It aims to preserve life, prevent further injury, and promote recovery through steps like opening airways, stopping bleeding, and treating for shock. Key skills include CPR, splinting, and wound treatment. A first aid kit should contain dressings, bandages, gloves, and other supplies. The principles of first aid are to preserve life, prevent further injury, promote recovery, take immediate action, and call for help.
This document discusses strategies for preventing workplace injuries through fall protection and safety. It notes that 90% of workplace injuries are due to unsafe acts by employees rather than unsafe conditions or chance. It also discusses the role of risk tolerance and safety culture in organizations, emphasizing that safety needs to be a high priority. The document advocates for educating employees to drive cultural change and build an environment where safety is a top concern.
This document discusses first aid training and emergency preparedness. It explains why first aid knowledge is important, as accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. It discusses who should learn first aid and what topics are typically covered, such as treating bleeding, wounds, burns, fainting, and more. The document emphasizes the importance of having a well-stocked first aid kit available at home, in vehicles, and in public buildings. It provides examples of where to obtain first aid kits and lists common first aid supplies that should be included.
1 provide first aid introduction to first aidBibhod DOTEL
This document provides an introduction to first aid, including key legal obligations and considerations when providing first aid such as obtaining consent, duty of care, and avoiding negligence. It outlines how to properly assess a sick or injured person by gathering their history, signs and symptoms. Vital signs that should be checked include pulse, breathing, level of consciousness, skin color and temperature. Standard infection control precautions are discussed. The importance of clear communication and accurate first aid care records are also covered.
Heat stress is one of the most neglected health hazards in the United States, resulting in thousands of worker deaths and injuries each year from heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Workers exposed to extreme heat or in hot environments are at risk of heat stress, which can cause occupational illnesses and injuries such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes by interfering with the body's ability to regulate its temperature. Prevention efforts should focus on controlling environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and air circulation; managing the physical demands of work; staying hydrated; and implementing work-rest cycles.

This document outlines basic principles of first aid, including:
1. First aid involves immediate procedures performed on accident victims until professional medical care arrives.
2. Rescuers must ensure their own safety first before providing aid and should use protective equipment if exposure to blood is possible.
3. The key steps to providing first aid are: assessing the situation, calling for help, securing the area, administering CPR if needed, providing aid until professional help takes over.
This document provides information on first aid for shock. It defines first aid as initial care for an injury or illness to prevent further harm until more advanced care arrives. Shock is explained as a dangerous condition where not enough oxygen-rich blood reaches vital organs, which can be caused by anything reducing blood flow. Common causes, types, signs and symptoms of shock are outlined. The development of shock in stages from compensatory to decompensatory to irreversible is described. First aid management of shock is explained as calling for emergency help, laying the victim flat and raising their legs, monitoring for vomiting, and maintaining normal body temperature. Special considerations for shock in children are also noted.
The document discusses occupational hazards in the oil and gas industry. It outlines several health risks workers may face, including infectious diseases, cancer due to chemical exposure like benzene, and accidents. It also summarizes findings from the Health Watch study in Australia which found cancer rates in petroleum workers were no higher than the general population and death rates from cancer and other diseases were lower. The document advocates for occupational risk management programs utilizing disciplines like ergonomics, health and safety to reduce injuries and increase productivity.
The document provides information on various first aid procedures. It defines first aid as the initial response to medical emergencies by non-medical experts. The purposes of first aid are to sustain life, prevent suffering, avoid complications, and promote recovery. It describes do's and don'ts for first responders, principles of first aid using the 4 C's (call for help, take charge, check the scene and casualty, care for the casualty), and the DRABC action plan. It then provides guidance on treating common injuries and illnesses like nosebleeds, heart attacks, burns, choking, bites/stings, wounds, and potential spinal injuries. It concludes by listing recommended contents for a first aid kit.
Poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, absorption, or injection of toxic substances. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, abdominal pain, unconsciousness, seizures, or breathing issues depending on the poison and route of exposure. The first aid procedure for poisoning involves checking the safety of the situation, noting details of the exposure, checking the victim's consciousness, clearing their airway if unconscious, wiping the mouth if burned, and seeking medical help.
This document discusses diathermy, which uses high frequency electrical current to heat deep tissues for therapeutic purposes. It describes three main forms of diathermy - shortwave, ultrasound, and microwave - and their uses. Surgical diathermy, also called electrosurgery, uses electrical current during surgery to coagulate blood vessels, destroy tissues, and cut tissues without bleeding. It can be monopolar, with one electrode at the surgical site and another elsewhere on the body, or bipolar where both electrodes are on the device near the treatment area. Potential complications include fires caused by sparks igniting gases, burns from faulty equipment or placement of electrodes, and short circuits affecting pacemakers.
This document provides guidelines for positioning and moving patients in emergency situations:
- Reposition patients only when necessary, placing unresponsive and non-trauma patients in the recovery position on their side. Do not move trauma patients unless treating a life-threatening condition.
- Carry patients using proper lifting techniques to prevent injury, checking for injuries first. Use emergency carries like the firefighter's carry or pack-strap carry only if the patient faces immediate danger and you cannot otherwise provide care.
- When moving a patient with help, use assisted walking, two-person seat carries, or extremity carries down steps, supporting the patient's weight appropriately. Control bleeding through direct pressure, elevation, pressure bandages,
This document provides information on basic first-aid trainings, including objectives, definitions, importance, and treatment procedures for various injuries and emergencies. It details first-aid for burns, bleeding, fractures, and performing CPR. Burns are classified and cooling/covering procedures described. For bleeding, direct pressure and elevation are emphasized. Fractures should be immobilized. CPR involves checking for response, calling for help, giving 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths with each cycle until emergency services arrive.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
2. A grab-n-go bag is a staple of survival and emergency
preparedness. It’s something you can take with you,
and is your survival kit in your house, in your car and at
your work.
It’s too late to prepare once the emergency is on you.
There will also be a huge run of panicked people buying
many of these same items and they won’t be available;
get it together NOW so you have it ready.
Please remember, there are an infinite number of
emergencies, opinions, equipment, and needs.
The following is a basic template for essentials we all
need.
3. The Grab & Go bag should be tailored to your
locale.
Try to get items that have multiple uses, rather
than just one.
The Grab & Go Bag
4. How much can you carry?
If you aren’t experienced in backpacks, ask an expert at
your local outdoor store.
No matter the backpack, have waterproof bags to put
everything inside the backpack. Keeping gear (and
yourself) dry is paramount in a survival/emergency
situation.
The Bag Itself
5. While I list a number of items in the following slides, the
next one shows a pre-packaged kit you can get on
Amazon. I’ve looked it over and bought it as a start for
my son. It includes generic basics and is much better than
having nothing, or waiting until you can do your Area
Study and make your own tailored kit.
I bought it for my son and grandsons.
Prepared for basics today is better than being an expert
tomorrow.
I have purchased all the items I list, but feel free to find
what suits your needs.

Operations Warrior Foundation, which funds education
for the children of wounded or killed Special Operation
soldiers.
6. Using my Green Beret Preparation
and Survival Guide you can do an
Area Study and tailor your GnG
bags to your specific situation and
environment. However, to be
prepared, a basic, well-stocked,
pre-made one is a good idea.
A QR link to a document with all
links is at the end.
7. The following items are for building your own kit.
Remember, the Area Study, will help determine what’s
needed. A free slideshow is available on how to do an
Area Study is at
www.bobmayer.com/workshops
How to do an Area Study is also in
The Green Beret Area Study Workbook.
A key is to figure out your priorities. For some, such as my
son and grandsons in San Diego, water is high on the list.
Building Your Own Bag
8. 4 full 500ml water bottles. This is your immediate
emergency supply if you have no time to fill up your . . .
Containers. Either a built in water supply such as a
Camelbak or separate containers. Most backpacks have
external loops on which you can secure canteens and water
carriers. Your first priority is to fill up these containers with
potable water. The four water bottles are to sustain you to
get to that point. They also then become extra water
containers.
WATER
9. Compressible water containers. For after establishing
base camp
Purification. Lifestraw or equivalent and two bottles
purification tablets.
A QR link to a document with all links is at the end.
Water
10. You must have a way of quickly filtering water for
your family. Assume all water you find in nature is
contaminated.
Besides the life straw and pills, there are ones that
produce more volume. There is also a slightly more
expensive system that doesn’t require pumping and
works via gravity. Either one can be a lifesaver for
your family.
11. Fire is your friend in a survival situation. I know we’d all like to
use that bow and stick, but for emergencies, a lighter is much
easier.
The plasma lighter on the left is also a flashlight and
rechargeable.
I pack several lighters. Windproof.
Stormproof matches in a waterproof container.
A QR link to a document with all links is at the end.
Lighters and Matches
12. Since I list a rechargeable lighter on the previous page, power
becomes an issue. I used to focus on using batteries for power,
because rechargeable requires, well, charging. However, I’ve
become a fan of solar, which allows a renewable power source
from nature.
This particular model is good because it has three charging
cables built in on the back.
Licorne Solar Charger 36800 mAh.
A QR link to a document with all links is at the end.
Power
13. Non-perishables for three days minimum.
Food that doesn’t require refrigeration.
Don’t have food that will make you thirsty.
Plan for infants and special dietary
requirements.
Note expiration dates.
Click on image for a good, 25 year
expiration, supply from the company that
made our Long Range Patrol meals in
Special Forces. It’s what we have on
hand and in our grab-n-go bags.
Also good for camping.

Food
14. I have a variety of ration bars (click on each for
link):
ER Bar
Grizzly Bear Emergency Food Rations
DaTrex 3600
Below are some before going into a ziplok bag
inside my GnG bag and someinto my Jeep.
Make sure you store them inside a ziplok bag
because once you open the package, it’s not
resealable.
15. A small, portable stove is key.
Make sure you have plenty of fuel which comes in
various sizes from small to larger and heavier. The stove
screws onto the fuel canister. This stove is inexpensive
and has a built-in click lighter, and two cups in the form of
the case. I’ve brewed many a cup of coffee/hot
chocolate/meals with it.
16. Pots to cook in with utensils. I use the pots
below with a larger stove that I pack in my
Jeep.
Here I’m brewing up on the front bumper of
my old Jeep in the Smoky Mountains. Note
chow for Scout, our rescue dog, also laid
out.
17. Know what the emergency broadcast stations are.
Below is a hand crank/solar radio/flashlight combo I
have in my Jeep and in my grab-n-go bag.
Survival Radio
18. I carry a SpotX 2 Way Satellite
messenging system.
While going to Hole in the Rock in Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument,
my clutch began to burn out. 120 miles
from the nearest civilization. Luckily I
managed to sustain in third gear out of
there but it made me consider the
situation.
There are places all over the country,
including in the Smoky Mountains, with
no cell coverage. I view this as a
potentially life-saving investment. It will
give me my grid location so that, in fact, I
will never be actually “lost”.
Also peace of mind as my family can get
hold of me any time and I can update
them on my progress.
19. My old Wrangler at Hole in the Rock,
Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monument
120 miles from the nearest paved road.
Zero cell phone coverage.
20. A tent is valuable but takes up a lot of space and weight.
At the very least, you need an emergency sleeping bag and
a poncho. It’s inexpensive, light and small.
A poncho can be worn, but also made into a shelter using
550/parachute cord. The latter is useful in many, many ways.
Veterans can verity a poncho liner is very light, compresses
and provides great warmth for the weight.
Shelter
21. Being able to see in the dark is key. Batteries tend to be heavy
and get used up but AA/AAA are light and small. Also, with
solar, you can use rechargeable lights. Consider the following
array:
Handcrank light (the one below also has window breaker,
seatbelt cutter, USB cell phone charger); a headlamp for
moving and doing things in camp; and a single AAA light I keep
in a sheath with my Leatherman
Light
22. I always have the one on the left on my belt along with
the single battery flashlight. It gets used every day.
I have the vice grips Leatherman on the right in my
Jeep and it gets used a lot. The flashlight was earlier.
Multi-Tool
23. There are plenty of prepared ones you can buy.
Below is one I have in house and in grab-n-go bags.
Make sure you have medications to last a week.
Extra glasses, contacts, etc.
First Aid Kit
24. I recommend adding a trauma pack with quick-clot
bandages to your first aid kit along with a splint, an
Israeli combat bandage, chest seal, medical scissors—
all in one convenient packet. I can verify the Quik-Clot
works. I carry a Quik Clot bandage on my bike and in
our cars and day pack.
QuikClot Bandages/Trauma
25. Appropriate for time of year and environment.
Socks. And more socks.
Pants and long sleeve shirts of a material that dries
quickly.
I generally pack one extra pair of pants.
A wool cap— most heat escapes through the head.
A boonie hat— keep the sun off, protects your head.
Clothing
26. Not just for weather but to protect your hands.
In the field, I always wear gloves.
The ones on the left are light and touchscreen.
The ones on the right provide more protection.
Clothing
27. A folding saw. A survival knife with sharpener.
A Signal mirror.
I have all below in my bag
Tools
28. Snares are an effective, passive form of hunting that is
also very secure. The steel cables also have other
uses.
An array of zip ties— you’ll find many uses for them,
including, if need be, handcuffs. The middle ones are
basic; the ones on the right are for major things.
Tools
29. Or download the contour map for your area for free,
then print it out, or order the map sheets.
USGS free downloadable topo maps are linked via QR
code at end.
I also have a series of National Geographic area
specific maps for various National Forests and Parks
Map
30. Location Apps
There are several topo map Apps you can get. I’ve used a
number over the years but the best one I’ve found is
Gaia. The basic app is free and then there are two levels
of membership. The premium, which is discounted 20%
via my affiliate
is $32 for a year but for the number and types of maps
you get, it is definitely worth it. One useful thing to using
any map app is to download the map tiles you want to use
beforehand (when you’re out in the wilds with no signal)
and you learn how to use the app.
They also send interesting email updates on various
outdoor activities that are very informative from outdoor
31. To the left is an example of some of the many
maps you can download and use. You can
have multiple maps on screen at the same
time, adjusting them as you need. In this
case, I have the US Forestry Service Map at
max along with USFS roads and trails along
with public lands. I can bring up hidden layers
as needed. Also note the Historic Topo for
1930 which is fun to play with. You also have
National Park Service Visitor, topo maps,
streets maps, weather and more.
There are dozens of different types of maps
available to premium members.
32. While we rely on GPS there are many emergencies
where that might not be available.
In that case, a compass is invaluable.
I have the one below tied of to my survival vest.
Compass
33. Tooth brush, toothpaste.
Liquid, disinfectant soap (double bag).
Foot powder.
Toilet paper or baby wipes.
Feminine Hygiene.
Baby products
I like the full body wipes below for field expedient
cleaning.
Toiletries
34. Power will be out. ATMs won’t work
Store computer systems will have crashed.
It will be a cash environment for a while.
How much?
Enough for: plane, bus ticket to evac site; cost of hotel
room for at least 3 nights; cost of 3 tank fulls of gas;
food for family for two weeks; misc. expenses.
CASH

overwhelming.
In the The Green Beret Preparation and Survival Guide
the GnG bag is broken down into a basic one everyone
should have and then a list of more advanced items.
Grab-n-Go Bag
Your main bag is wherever you spend most
of your time. For most of us, that’s at home.
Have it readily accessible so you can literally
grab it as you run out. You can also toss it in
your car easily.
