Electrical Safety At Work

Advantages: See Op
Disadvantages: See Op

...Introduced in April 1990, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 comes under the Health & Safety Act 1974. These regulations place a statutory obligation on all organisations to prevent danger from Electricity; ?As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so far as reasonably practicable such danger? The duty holder of a company must ensure that regular monitoring of maintenance takes place to minimise danger and the law states; ?record of maintenance, including test results, preferably kept throughout the working life of an electrical system will enable the condition of the equipment and effectiveness of maintenance policies to be monitored.

Twelve tips to Home Safety

Advantages: You can plan home safety
Disadvantages: You can never be entirely safe

...flying the other side, or spillage etc. GOOD MANNERS ? - At this point you need to ask yourself if you were on the phone and you saw your child in a dangerous situation, would you drop everything to prevent an accident ? Yes, of course you would, so why oh why do we drop everything (including children) to answer the door, telephone, neighbour calling etc ? The answer is you dont !! Your children dont have a choice in safety, they havent learnt it yet, that is your responsibility. ASSUME your children will have friends, who may be slightly bigger, smaller than yours when conducting your safety review. Their safety has been entrusted to your responsibility as well. Think of their likely range when redeveloping new shelf heights at "safe levels" etc. AND IF THE WORSE HAPPENS ? Don't panic, deal with each emergency no matter how big...

Safety In The Home

Advantages: Knowing How To Take Care Of Safety In The Home Is A Good Thing
Disadvantages: Not Being Safe Is A Bad Thing

...When my first child was born some 20 years ago, I was frantic about the "how to's" and the "how not to's." I remember calling my mother so many times about so many different things. She told me once "use your common sense" and she was right. Those words hit me like a bolt of lightening. Although she appreciated my calling her, at the same time she had to teach me one more lesson in life. Knowing that my mother was right, and mothers always are! I began to think of ways to safety protect my home. I went through my home and started making it child proof. Go around your home and do the same thing. Now a days you can go to the Dollar store and get a lot of items from their shelves that are very cost efficient. Items like: those little white plugs, you know the ones; they are solid and fit right into the outlets in your home. Get lots...

Hygiene and Safety in the food chain.

Advantages: Many advantages.See op.
Disadvantages: Can become time consuming, need careful thought and planning.

...I am studying Health and Hygiene safety at school in the food preparation area. My Food Technology teacher is very nice and speaks alot about food safety, and also the laws of hygiene etc. I have learned alot this year studying about food. I am going to explain about food poisoning, and how many people it has affected etc, (I hope it doesn't affect your appetites!!) Food poisoning claims 9.5 million victims a year, a secret government report reveals. Officially, the number of registered cases of food poisoning is 100,000 a year but not everyone reports it of course, and the reports suggest the total should be multiplied by 100, and it makes you think how much of a problem is out there! The main causes of food poisoning are: Salmonella- (eggs, chicken) E.coli- (Meats, Fish) Listeria- (Soft cheese, Pate) A high...

safety first fun second

Advantages: There are too many advantages to list but the main one has to be staying alive
Disadvantages: safety rules can be restricting especially for children too young to understand why.

...I like to think I am safety conscious especially where my kids are concerned but often I am made to feel overprotective. My 5 year old is not allowed across the (busy) road alone but my neighbour's 3 year old is. This is difficult to explain to my son who just thinks I am being mean. We have recently had speed humps put in the road which has made matters worse as the people trying to take a shortcut from the gridlocked main road just put their foot down between the humps and are going faster in certain places than they did before. When I was a child we could play anwhere but these days you need to know exactly where your kids are. The local park is out of bounds because of the teenage yobs, drug addicts and a child abuser who all live around there. Although we like to protect our young children from these thoughts, they have to...

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

DRUGS - a travellers guide to OTC medicines

Advantages: OTC medications can relieve pain and discomfort
Disadvantages: OTC medicines, like any other drug, can injure or kill in excess. Ensure you know what you are taking.

.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DISCLAIMER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am not a Doctor nor am I medical professional. My intention is NOT to endorse or recommend any particular treatment. This is simply a short guide to the differences between non-prescription medicines in the US and the UK. If you have any doubts or questions about any medicine or complaint, talk to your Doctor, Pharmacist or other health professional. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, a short introduction is in order. Some OTC medicines available in the US are either not available in the UK, or have a different name. Needless to say, the same holds true in reverse. Therefore, ever the considerate ex-pat, I thought I would write a little guide to the MAIN differences. Many stronger preparations...

Brilliant infant car seat

Advantages: Excellent for safety, comfort and totally practical
Disadvantages: no negatives for this product

...I used this for my daughter and used it from birth right through to the upper weight limit which is actually higher than most other car seats in this category. She always seemed so content in it and happily napped when travelling. The sun canopy is excellent, great for protecting the baby when driving and carrying about. Sun canopy also stores away easily when not in use, remaining attatched but out for the way. I also bought the easybase which made loading and unloading baby from car very quick and easy - especially when its raining which it so often does here. Also purchased mosquito net & Raincover both excellent purchases and in the UK I certainly needed them. I liked the fact that there were internal pads that could be removed as she grew to enable more comfort and space for her within the seat. Covers are easily removed for washing...
