Occupational safety aims to prevent workplace accidents and injuries. It is part of the larger field of occupational safety and health, which falls under public health. An occupational safety team typically includes a safety specialist, industrial hygienist, occupational health nurse, and occupational health physician who work together to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control hazards in the workplace in order to protect workers. Accidents can occur when there is an imbalance between the worker, equipment, and environment or a failure in one of these components of the job performance system. While conditions have improved in developed nations, many parts of the world still have dangerous working conditions.

The goal of CCOHS is the elimination of work-related illnesses and injuries through credible resources and tools to improve workplace health and safety.
HSE PRESENTATION
This document provides an introduction and overview of occupational safety and health management. It outlines the following key points:
- The training objectives are to understand safety management systems, communication channels, workplace hazards, hazard identification and control, incident investigation, and implications of ignoring safety rules.
- Workplace hazards fall under 5 categories and can be identified through walkaround inspections and job hazard analysis. The hierarchy of controls should be followed to control hazards.
- Management must be committed to safety and develop plans, programs, policies, procedures and processes. Ignoring safety can result in injuries, death, fines and lost productivity. Effective communication and incident investigations are also important.

Improving_Safety_in_Skilled_Nursing
This document summarizes the journey of a skilled nursing facility to improve safety practices after receiving an OSHA citation. It received a citation for lacking a safe patient handling program and other violations. With help from Lockton, the facility implemented a comprehensive Safe Patient/Resident Mobility Program based on American Nurses Association standards. This included training staff, obtaining lifting equipment, and establishing safety processes. As a result, lost time days were reduced by 18% and restricted duty days by 78% over two years, dramatically improving safety outcomes. The document advocates for facilities to proactively work with OSHA and implement strong safe patient handling programs to avoid citations and injuries.
General Workplace Safety
It is a common perception that accidents are unexpected or unplanned events, but in many instances, that’s not necessarily so. Some accidents result from unsafe conditions and work practices that have been ignored or tolerated for weeks, months, or even years.
Please join our webinar presentation to discover and review the truth about “Accidents”. Learn about the “Accident Pyramid” and most importantly, the “Preventive Measures” to avoid workplace injuries that we often refer to as “Accidents”.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.REGULATION FOR COMBINATION PRODUCTS AND MEDICAL DEVICES.pptx
