Forklifts are extremely useful workplace vehicles, as long as they are used safely and properly by operators who have been trained and are deemed competent to use them. Forklifts are dangerous: they account for 25% of injuries at work. Many workplace accidents involve people being hit or run over by forklift trucks (typically when the forklift is reversing). Forklift accidents can cause serious injury, death, property and product damage. Accidents can be prevented if risk assessment are conducted, safe work procedures are followed, regular Tool Box Talks are conducted and HSE continuous surveillance observations of work tasks are performed periodically.
Common Forklift Hazards:
• Overloading
• Unsafe Stacking
• Speeding
• Unauthorized operation of forklift
• Untrained forklift operators.
• Pedestrians and forklifts moving in the same place.
• Obstruction in the path e.g. overhead, uneven ground surfaces, blind corners etc.
• Reversing
Common Safe Practices:
• Prior to use, forklifts must be inspected by a competent person, & inspection sticker should be posted on it.
• Only trained and authorized operators can operate a forklift.
• Carry out daily forklift pre-operation checks using checklist.
• Report to supervisor any forklift damage or problem.
• Don’t use a forklift to lift a worker.
• Check the load loads carefully before moving them for stability and damage.
• Slow down and sound the horn at crossings, and locations where view is blocked.
• Do not authorize anyone to stand or walk under the load or forklift machinery.
• Be aware of the height of the load, mast and overhead guard of the forklift when entering or existing buildings.
• Don’t handle loads that are above the weight capacity of the forklift.
• Follow the speed limit.
• Flagmen must be available while forklift is in operation.
• Focus on the travelling path and keep a clear view of it.
• When leaving a forklift, pull the parking brake, lower the forks and neutralize the controls.
• Don’t drive and raise load at the same time
• Don’t make sudden sharp turns
• Don’t brake suddenly when the forklift is loaded.
• Watch out for overhead structures (e.g. pipes & beams)
• Follow traffic management.
• Use rear view mirrors and camera while reversing.

Compliance to the regulations stipulated in Occupational Safety & Health Act 1994, better known as OSHA 1994 is mandatory. Companies and organisations are required to provide evidences of full compliances to the authorities when they are requested to do so. HSE personnel, SHOs and Safety & Health Committee members must be well-aware and conversant with every aspect of OSHA 1994 and be able to implement them at their respected workplaces. Inadequate understanding or failure to comply to OSHA 1994 regulations could mean severe reprimands/penalties from the authorities and may endanger the workers at their respective organisations.

Trade Union Freedom Fact Sheet Cnv InternationaalCNV Vakcentrale
The right to organise in trade unions is a fundamental labour and human right. Yet, in many countries, workers attempt many barriers to organizing. Although the right to organise in trade unions is a fundamental labour and human right. This is usually referred to as: The right to free association in trade unions. Additionally, every individual has the right to collective bargaining over employment conditions. These rights are laid down in national and international legislation and regulations. Such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, or OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Engaging in a meaningful dialogue
Why is trade union freedom so important? First, to improve labour conditions it is crucial to engage in a meaningful dialogue on factory, sectoral, and even national level. On behalf of their members. Independent trade unions negotiate with employers or their representatives on collective employment conditions, which subsequently are laid down in collective labour agreements. Such working conditions may refer to salary, remuneration, working hours and rest periods. Usually, individuals are not able to reach such agreements, where trade unions are successful.
This fact sheet has been developed for the WellMade project, a project designed to provide both people working in European fashion brands as well as procurement officers within companies and organisations with an understanding of the most important labour issues in the supply chain.

With the purpose of improving the operation of the company, it is necessary to review and update the policies of the company, as well as everything related to labor laws. This will provide the necessary means to comply with what is established by law and in turn with the company staff. If everything related to these issues is kept up to date, errors are less likely to be made when corrective measures are taken, just as it is of the utmost importance that all the members of the directive know in depth the laws that protect the workforce in all aspects. It is necessary to carry out the appropriate training as soon as possible. Remember that as a team, meeting these requirements is completely necessary.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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”.

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.

Statutory provisions for employee protection
Aspects of workers’ benefits
Contract of employment
ILO conventions
Discrimination and equal remuneration
Freedom of association and collective bargaining
The Factories Act
The Workmen’s Compensation Act
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
References
3. Statutory provisions for employee
protection
The word statutory means ‘by law’. All organisations and
individuals must comply, without exception, with laws that
relate to them.
Ignorance is no excuse for non-compliance, so HR must
ensure that managers and staff are kept up to date with
legislation that applies to them.
5. Health
Several elements must be present to ensure working conditions do not
cause any deterioration in employees’ health.
Clean workplace
Enough workspace for each person
Satisfactory ventilation
Adequate and safe supplies of water
Sufficient and sanitary washroom amenities
Adequate and suitable lunch room
Protection for employees who work with heavy items that could injure them.
6. Safety
The essentials needed to prevent accidents at the workplace are:
Warning notices
Protective guards
Cordons around hazardous areas
Adequate training for inexperienced persons
Adequate avenues of escape in the event of a fire or toxic chemical leakage
Supplies of suitable protective clothing
Entrances, exits and stairways to be kept clear
Handrails along staircases and open corridors.
7. Welfare
To provide facilities conducive to the welfare of employees, the following
are required:
Changings rooms with sufficient sitting
A locker to store clothes and personal effects
Suitable furniture for sitting
First aid kit with supply of first aid items
Insurance coverage
Advice, counselling and assistance to any employee with work-related or
personal problems.
8. Socioeconomic
To ensure job security and happiness of employees at work, an employee
should:
Be given a letter or contract of employment within a short time after starting
to work in the role
Receive at least minimum notice of termination of employment
Get at least the minimum wage rate
Know the maximum hours of work per day
Have freedom to join a trade union
Be granted equal opportunities.
Be entitled to leave from employment for sickness, maternity, emergency,
death of a close relative, holiday etc.
9. Contract of employment
The contract of employment is a legal document and both
employer and employees must abide by its conditions.
It is has traditionally been known as a vital document which
was used to regulate a mutually beneficial employer-
employee relationship.
10. ILO Conventions
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) sets
international labour standards, and its conventions are
binding on all members, including all CARICOM territories
that are signatories.
ILO conventions on decent work are relevant to HR as they
cover wages, holiday, maternity leave, health and safety, fair
treatment and trade union rights. The also ban forced
labour and restrict the use of child labour.
11. Discrimination
This means treating someone differently or unfairly for a reason
unconnected with the job, for example, because of their race, gender,
ethnic origin or marital status.
12. Equal Remuneration
All staff doing the same work, or work of ‘equal value’, must be paid at
the same rate, have the same conditions and benefits, and be offered the
same training and promotion opportunities.
13. Freedom of association and collective
bargaining
These conventions guarantee that employers and workers can establish
and join organisations of their choice, such as trade unions, and draw up
their own rules.
Workers cannot be dismissed or discriminated against because they join a
trade union or participate in union activities.
Trade unions can negotiate with employers on terms of employment and
try to conclude collective agreements on behalf of their members.
15. The Factories Act
The aim of the Factories Act is primarily to ensure that
anyone who works in a place where goods are
manufactured, produced or adapted in any way will be
protected. This is important because factories are
potentially dangerous with hazardous machinery and
substances.
16. The Workmen’s Compensation Act
This enables workers who are injured or incapacitated at
work, or who suffer an occupational disease to claim
financial compensation. In the case of death, this is paid to
their next of kin.
To protect themselves against large claims, all employers
must take out insurance and they must abide by their legal
obligations.
17. Occupational Safety an Health Act
(OSHA)
The OSHA was introduced in the 1970s in the US to reduce the number of
accidents and injuries in workplaces. It has since been adapted and
introduced in many countries.
Under the OSHA, inspections or risk assessments are carried out so that
hazardous conditions are identified. If they cannot be eliminated,
precautions must be taken to warn and protect employees.
With the advent of the OSHA, many companies in the Caribbean now have
a department called HSE – Health, Safety and Environment.
