Safety belts, the postal ‘service’ and using technology | News

Every now and then I like to remind people of the need to wear seat belts in automobiles. Lately I have noticed an increasing number of reports of people being ejected from vehicles with fatal consequences. Which is almost always due to the fact that you are not wearing a seat belt. I installed one of the first seat belts in the area as a correspondent for the California newspaper Bakersfield and as a teenager. The California Highway Patrol began installing lap belts on their patrol cars in the mid-1950s when the Air Force discovered they were losing more troops to car accidents in the US than in Korea. Ford jumped on the train by building safer cars and installing the seat belts. Other manufacturers soon followed. Adoption was slow, with the usual fear and reluctance to change. When shoulder straps were introduced, some drivers complained of c

Make space for smart wearables The smarter way to social distancing. By Tim Turney May 01, 2021 Employees and companies have never been more aware of the need for a positive work hygiene culture as they were as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The challenge for business owners in reopening the workplace is balancing worker health, worker concerns, and legal and regulatory responsibility for operating a “COVID-19 Safe” workplace. An important means of protecting people from exposure in workplaces and around the world has been to provide social distancing - a 2m or 1m distance with additional precautions.1 Research has shown areas in the US where none exist Social distancing guidelines face 35 times more coronavirus cases While staying safe by holding space can be a challenge for workplaces where floor plans are designed for effici

Effective dust and noise monitoring essential to worker safety

Mining sites pose higher health and safety risks in the workplace compared to many other work environments, and these risks include dangerous dust and noise pollution. One of the most common reasons for concern is inhalation of dust in a mine. Coal dust is particularly dangerous because prolonged inhalation causes coal workers pneumoconiosis (CWP), also known colloquially as miner's lung or black lung. Research shows that one in four miners has abnormal lung function, CWP, or both1. Similarly, inhaled fumed silica - particularly respirable crystalline silica (RCS) - causes an estimated 230 cases of lung cancer in Australian workers each year. RCS is made through typical mining applications such as crushing, drilling, cutting or grinding rocks or soils that contain the predominant silica mineral. Likewise, the noise caused by the constant use of heavy machinery and drilling can damage the hearing of miners. Often times, this damage goes unnoticed until it&#
