ERGONOMICS - AN EMPLOYERS RESPONSABILITYposted on 25 January 2012 in UncategorisedMen and women who have been hurt on the job did not wake up “the morning of” and know they were going to get hurt. Most men and women in the work force go to their jobs every single day not thinking about safety in the work place. This is how accidents and injuries happen while on the clock. Please know that you don’t have to be a high line worker or a high rise welder in order to sustain and injury while on the job. Your employer has the responsibility to recognize and address every hazard that accompanies your duties to provide you a safe working environment. ERGONOMICS: According the U. S. Department of Labor and Occupational Health and Safety, “Ergonomics is the science of fitting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of the working population.” Simply put the movements and motions that you make every day and all day while at work affect you physically. Repetitive motion, static posture and noise are three major contributors to determining the efficiency of ergonomics in the work place. There are safe guards that can be used to offset the effects of these contributors. Frequent breaks away from your work station to stretch your muscles is one. Muscles need to be exercised and holding your posture in one position for long periods of time causes static stress on your body. So, if you sit most of your work day and if circumstances allow it, try standing for periods of time to relieve the static stress on your body. Move things around on your desk so that you have to change your motion in order to complete a task. Whether you have a physically demanding job or you spend most of your time in one position, changing the way you do things at your work station will relieve aches and pains caused by static stress. The outcome will be less wwork accident claims and a healthier you. |

I'm Recognisable As the Girl In Scarletposted on 24 January 2012 in FashionI have this dress that I adore. I bought it the day after my boyfriend dumped me, and my judgement may have been slightly impaired. Unusually for me, I remember it quite clearly. I was with a friend, and she was treating me gently in case I dissolved into tears again. It caught my eye – it’s scarlet, with a neck down to here and a hem up to there, so it was difficult to miss – and I asked her what she thought and she said carefully that I should try it on if I really liked it. It’s funny, but looking back I can see so clearly how much she disapproved, but at the time I took her words at face value. She must have been shocked, though. I wear calf length skirts in blue and brown and nice floral print. But d’you know the funny thing? I’ve had that dress for years now, and it’s absolutely me, down to the bone. It suits all kinds of events and all kinds of accessories work well with it - from evening bags to scarves. Sometimes you have to switch off your better judgement to find out what really suits you. |

WHAT IS AN ACCIDENT AT WORK CLAIM?posted on 24 January 2012 in Uncategorised•What is a work accident claim. Work accident claims only occur from time to time and when it is a busy day at a company. That's why workers comp are always part of every business insurance to protect them from any major claims. If an employee gets injured inside the building premises at the time of work, you are covered from any work accident claim. For example, a candy factory with about one hundred employees. They are exposed from accidents almost every hour of the day. If one of employee accidentally falls down the stairs and accidentally breaks any part of their body, the company will take care of them and will also fix the work accident claim. The company will also pay the injured employee the amount of days they missed work. •Will you be taken cared of by your employer? Yes, all work accident claims will fall under the company's workman comp. It is mandatory that once you start your business, you will have this type of coverage, to ensure you, that all your employees will be covered in case of any accidents or injuries occurring during their work hours. •Will you get money from the employer? If you accidentally get hurt while in the premises of your employer, you as an employee is entitle to receive a complete medical coverage for your injury and the days that you lost because of the accident claim. The workmans compensation plan will take care of the claim and any other expenses. You will be paid until you are ready to go back to work. If for any reason that you are not capable of going back to work for the whole year, then the workers comp will be the one to take care of your monthly salary for the entire year. Make sure to confirm with your human resources department and ask for any outstanding coverage that will not apply on their workers comp just for you to be aware of. More often, if any other part of your body is still not covered, you should consult the Department of Labor for further action. The department will surely demand and instruct the owner of that business to re evaluate their workers comp for the full protection of all their employees. |

Fashion Favorites: My Favorite Pair of Pantsposted on 22 January 2012 in FashionThough I love to wear dresses for special occasions - and I have a lovely selection of Yuki dresses at home - it's good old fashion pants that I wear on a day-to-day basis. Pants are a piece of clothing that are so versatile. I personally wear pants almost everywhere I go. My favorite pair of pants are those that has some stretch and make my legs looks skinny, since I feel my legs are too big for my body type. Nowadays I am wearing pants everyday to go to work and for this occasion I try to wear the ones that are a little bit loose in the legs to be more comfortable and to look professional. The length of the pants is very important for me because wearing pants that are too long or too short can really make a big difference in the way you look. This is why I always take my pants to a tailor to make the necessary adjustments needed to make them perfect to fit my body. Not everything you buy in the stores is made for your body type, so it is better to spend a little extra money to make your favorite pants an unique piece. |

The Pleasures of Off-road Ridingposted on 22 January 2012 in Cars and TransportOff Roading, which is also known as Dirt Biking is extremely fun for people who like adventure. It’s a ride filled with thrills and bumps. You enjoy this if you are the one riding the bike, or even if you are standing and watching someone ride it. You can you a dirt bike or you can also use an ATV (All terrain vehicle) which in my opinion is more fun to ride compared to a motorbike. You can’t really go dirt biking just anywhere. There are designated places for this. There are tracks available in many places around the world, but you can also make your own if you have the resources and the time. You'll also need the appropriate motocross clothing too. The best place for this is probably South America. Places like Brazil, Honduras, El Salvador, etc. offer amazing tracks along with beautiful weather to go along with that. If you have the time you should certainly try this. |

Getting in Touch with Old Friends Through Facebookposted on 22 January 2012 in TechnologyI was taught by my younger sister how to create an account in Facebook. But just this morning, I realized that i forgot my facebook password and my email password. I still need to wait for my sister to arrive from school to have this matter fixed. I am not really fond of these stuffs but what I like about social networking sites is that it allows me to get in touch with my long lost friends and distant relatives. In fact, I bumped with a former classmate in a restaurant last night and she asked me to go online tonight so we can talk and keep each other posted about our lives’ latest happenings. She mentioned that she is already married to someone I also know. This really intrigued me and I really want to know who the guy is. I can’t wait to see his photos in Facebook. I can’t wait to see how their children look like. I hope my sister comes home early so we can start having a chit chat right away. |

Halo Is My Favorite Game Because of Networking Facilitiesposted on 19 January 2012 in TechnologyI love consoles, and appreciate the electronics behind the interfaces having calibrated hexagonal spacers on assembly lines in my work experience. I have been playing computer games for a long time but I think after sometime of playing against computers you get tired. Playing against the computer, doing the same missions over and over again, and having no charm of winning against a silent player (computer) are not interesting and pleasure seeking at all. I like games that provide networking facilities. Halo is my favorite game that not only provides networking facilities but also charm of playing against another person and beating him. This game also has quite good graphics and also provides options of altering the game according to one’s taste. We can add a lot of things and set the difficulty according to our own choice. This freedom provided by this computer game is the best thing that attracts me. The sound effects are also amazing. Another thing worth mentioning is that this game makes your reflexes vey alert. I feel that since I have been playing this game my reflexes have become faster and quicker. |

Make an Effort to Look After Yourself at Workposted on 5 January 2012 in Construction and IndustrialI decided to get a casual job at a warehouse. It was a horrible experience. My job involved lifting incredibly heavy boxes off the production line. At first I thought I could manage the weight and then all of a sudden I felt my legs getting weak. We weren't given proper overalls for these jobs, and I was aware of that at the time, so I was worried. I had to put the box down and the supervisor was not very impressed. I asked if he could have just helped me with this one. He refused and went back to his office. All of the employees were very unfriendly. They were all a lot older than me and had worked at the factory for years. Most of them seemed well built and probably did not have any difficulties with the weight of the boxes. I had to quit. I will never work in a factory again as I could have injured myself. I do not think it is right that staff have to life heavy boxes and sustain an injury just to make the boss happy. It is not worth it. |

Accident Help Linesposted on 31 December 2011 in UncategorisedOften we see advertisements for accident helplines. These are large companies which often have brand names that we recognise. They will deal with all sorts of personal injury claims from car accidents to accident at work compensation. These companies can be good if you do not want to spend very long researching your solicitor. It is a good idea to do this research because you will know that the solicitor you have chosen will be good. You will know more about them, what type of work they do and what they are like to deal with. However, using a big company like this might make you feel more secure if there are any problems. You may feel that you will have more come back with them because they are a big national company. What they tend to do, is to put you in touch with a solicitor that is local to you. This means that you can visit them if you want to and discuss the case face to face, which can be a much better way of doing things. Some people much prefer to discuss things in this way. You might think that being allocated to a solicitor like this will mean that you will be given one that is good, because the company may make sure that the solicitors they use are all good. Of course, this will all depend on the company you use and so you may feel better choosing the solicitor yourself rather than going through a company like this.

It is worth making sure that you are in control of the decision making and then you will have no one to blame if things do not turn out as you had hoped. |

The Accident I Had in the Motorhomeposted on 31 December 2011 in Holiday and TravelMy grandparents owned a motorhome in my adolescence. I remember when they went to a motorhomes for sale fair to buy it. One year we decided to spend part of our spring break at a nearby campground. The campground held hiking trails, a pool and park for the children to play on. We happened to have parked fairly close to this little playground, where me and my grandpa went to go play on the teeter todder. While on the teeter todder I tried to get off, and fell on my arm. It went completely backwards, then sprung back. After an hour of attempting to recover, we ended up going to the ER. Turns out that my elbow detached from the bones in my arm. The doctor said that we could do surgery, or I could try wearing a cast. After wearing the cast for a few weeks, they took it off to find that my arm was crooked. It still is to this day. |
