Workplace hazards are the sources of potential harm or damage to someone or something in any work environment. It can be material or any activity that has the likelihood to cause injuries under specific conditions. It should be eliminated as soon as they are identified to prevent workplace incidents or fatalities.What are the 5 basic workplace hazards?

Typically, OSHA cites the same workplace injuries or hazards over and over. We hear that falls are dangerous, to be cautious when handling chemicals, or to be aware of fire hazards. But, when it comes down to it, do companies have a strategy in place to ensure they are protecting their workers and ensuring their liability is defended?

Electrical Hazards
Repetitive Motion Injury
Where OSHA cites the most accidents is in the construction industry, which is not really a surprise due to the dangerous work performed on job sites. However, no matter the industry there are workplace hazards – including sitting at a desk in a cozy office job.
At the heart of avoiding accidents or identifying hazards is ensuring your workplace or job site has individuals performing tasks who are properly trained. Training is the key to prevention! You’ll see this trend in our “Prevention Tip(s)!” below.
Workplace Hazard #1: Falls and Falling Objects
Approximately 19,565 people die in the U.S. annually due to injuries caused by unintentional falls
Slips, trip and fall injuries cost employers approximately $40,000 per incident;
About 9.2 million people were treated in emergency rooms for fall-related injuries in 2016.
65% of fall-related injuries occur as a result of falls from same-level walking surfaces;
In 2017, there were 366 fatal falls to a lower level out of 971 construction fatalities
CFR 1926.501 Fall Protection is the single most cited workplace violation by the OSHA
85% of worker’s compensation claims are attributed to employees slipping on slick floors (Industrial Safety & Occupational Health Markets 5th edition)
Prevention Tip!
Since 2012, OSHA has recognized training as the best way to minimize fall injuries: Use myComply to book training and keep track of who has been trained!
Workplace Hazard #2: Chemical Exposure
Breathing of contaminated air is the most common way that workplace chemicals enter the body.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate more than 32 million workers in the United States are potentially exposed to chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin.
Roughly 860,000 illnesses resulting from chemical exposure occur in the workplace every year.
Employers must develop, im

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

Harm caused by health hazards depends on:
*Strength or potency of the agent
*Amount of the agent that is present
*How long you are exposed to the agent
*Part of your body that is exposed
Types of health effects:
*Acute- the effects shows up right away.
*Chronic- problem shows up after a long period of exposure.
*Local- only the part of the body that was exposed is affected.
*Systemic- an agent enters the body and affects other parts of
the body.
*Sensitization- allergic or sensitive to some agents you work
with.
14. Eliminate the hazard through the
following:
1.) Engineering Control- make physical changes to work area
like isolating, enclosing, and redesigning the
workplace.
2.) Administrative Control- adjust work schedules, provide
alarms, signgs and warnings, buddy
system.
3.) PPE- necessary for worker’s protection.
