This presentation discusses hand safety in the workplace. It notes that hands are unique and valuable tools that allow skilled work. Common hand injuries are reviewed, along with case studies of injuries caused by improper lifting, tool placement, and fatigue. The presentation recommends following the hierarchy of controls to eliminate hazards, such as using lifting tools instead of hands. It also stresses focusing on tasks, proper tool use, housekeeping, and using task-specific gloves as the last line of defense. Overall, the goal is to raise awareness of hand hazards and promote controls to reduce injuries.
What Is Hand Protection ?
“ If a workplace hazard assessment reveals that employees face potential injury to hands and work practice
controls, employers must ensure that employees wear appropriate protection Is Called Hand Protection. “

Types of Hand Hazards
1.Blades which can cut or amputate fingers or hands!
2.Rough Surfaces that can scrape the skin!
3.Machines that can pinch or crush fingers!
4.Chemicals that can burn fingers!
5.HEAT!
6.Bio-hazardous materials
7.Repetitive Strain and Impact which can cause injuries over time.
Ways to Protect Hands
1.Work with respect around machinery.
2.Don’t wear gloves while working closely with moving machinery where there is a danger of becoming entangled.
3.Keep machine guards in place.

Maybe it’s our familiarity with them or the fact that they are such a commonplace item on the construction site that hand tool and power tool safety often gets overlooked. Hand tools and power tools present a host of potential hazards such as flying objects, electrical shock, falling objects, punctures and lacerations. Here are 10 quick and easy tips for safely working with hand and power tools.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
