Are You Sure the Pesticides That You Use is Safe...

Pesticide is a hazardous material that usually used in agricultural industrial or daily used at home or garden especially to kill insects on plants. Basically for housewives who love gardening in their garden. But, they don’t know about the effects that may be affecting them on their future. From the data of cases reported from the United State Environmental Protection Agency was making an analysis that ten to twenty thousand farmworkers are poisoned in a year due to their pesticide exposure and the statistic of cases also have been made that the average of farmworkers that is, 5.5 per one thousand workers in a year.

There are two terms that may affect them which is classified as short term and long term illness. Wherever the least amount of particle of pesticides that exposed, it also had a chances to give a bad impact on our long term effects or chronic health effects such as cancer, infertility, birth defects or neurological damage. It is because the particle that were inhaled by the workers was very small particles and its can goes into the last target organ in our body systems such as our bronchioles. The person or workers that we called as pesticide handlers may be exposed to pesticides due to many ways such as spills, splashes, direct spray and also other method. For example farmworkers, they are highly risk to expose to this toxic pesticides because they more dealing directly with this chemical. For the family of farmworkers that dealing with this chemical also have a chance to injured by this chemical when workers bring together the pesticides that spills on their hair, skin, or clothing to their home and trapped in there.

The workers that over exposure to toxic pesticides can be fatal or death. After the over exposure to them, they will result in common symptoms that including headaches, sweating, weakness, vomiting, blurred vision and loss of consciousness. For the symptom of long terms effect is they will kill the nerves in our body. As we know, pesticides was a very dangerous material that we cannot see their effects to us now but it will give the impact soon and this material also can effect to our environmental and natural habitat.

Bullying Part Time Workers

Many people especially teenagers and student finished their SIJIL PELAJARAN MALAYSIA and waiting for University intake like to find part-time job. As usual, they want money to shopping, experience and depends on each individual goal. It may be that you simply want to have a different work-life balance, or they have caring responsibilities.

Mostly, they find the job at Hotel, Boutique and Telekom as promoter (unifi). The question is, did you notice that your supervisor always gave you heavy work?

Based on my experience, when i was 17 after i finished my SPM, i work at Hotel Sri ******* as a waiter. At the initial start my supervisor like being nice to me but after 8 days i works there and he suddenly treat me like coolie. He order me to go banquet area and i from coffee house area. At coffee house i work for 6 hours (8am - 2pm) and he ordered me to work another 13 hours at banquet area (2.30 pm -3.30 am). I said no and he said "then u don't come tomorrow" and "you can't get salary". After that case, i report to my friend works at there too and he just said it's normal.

Imagine that you can sleep only 4 hours after doing a heavy works. As we know, human at least need to sleep as much 7-5 to 9 hours per night to function their best. During sleep, the body has time not only to rest, but also to restore, recovery and rejuvenate. In fact, while a person sleeps, the body heals itself so once awake, the individual get feels refreshed, focused, and energetic. Good sleep is important because it helps improve concentration and memory formation and it allows our body to repair any cell damage that occurred during the day refreshes immune system and which in turn helps to prevent disease.

If you does not get enough sleep, your muscle gain are limited, your body become stale and not strong enough and troubling in antibody system. Lack of sleep also may caused heart problem and also high blood pressure.

For Telekom workers (promoters). Do you noticed that when you going to grab lunch with your friends and you will see a couple of man with orange t-shirt carrying file. Actually they start works at 11 am to 10 p.m. They cannot rest and must keep working and finding new customer.

In this case we can say they exposed to heat stress and may cause heat strain and because of over sweat and headache (hot fever). They keep walking and finding new customer for 9 hours. We all know that temperature at Malaysia is high when afternoon (12pm - 4.30pm).

So, as a conclusion, employer should consider when giving jobs to their employee. Employer also should consider size and physical person. If he or she have a skinny body, employer shall give more lighter work to them. Employer also should "berperikemanusian" so that the workers will not hate to their employer and can provide harmony environment in workplace and improve status at workplace.

Do job rotation system and do not ordered same people to work, communication between workers and employers should take care and do respect each other. Avoid from stress and do not bring personal problem in the workplace because that is one factor that can lead to stress.

Give adequate rest to promoter workers. Provide at least two mineral water and one set lunch to their workers so that they have energy in doing jobs. If weather to hot, employer shall give them more rest or provide umbrella to them. For ourselves, we must brave to report any problems to Human Resource Department.

And lastly, In section 15 OSHA 1994, it shall be duty of every employer to ensure, so far as is practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of all his employees.

Safety Boots

Safety boots is a durable boot or shoe that has a protective reinforcement in the toe which protects the foot from falling objects or compression, usually combined with a mid sole plate to protect against punctures from below.

Although traditionally made of steel, the reinforcement can also be made of a composite material, a plastic such as thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU) or even Aluminum. Steel-toe boots are important in the construction industry and in many industrial settings. Occupational safety and health legislation or insurance requirements may require the use of such boots in some settings, and may mandate certification of such boots and the display of such certification directly on the boots. In Canada, certified boots have a Canadian Standards Association green triangle on them.

Safety footwear now comes in many styles, including sneakers and clogs. Some are quite formal, for supervising engineers who must visit sites where protective footwear is mandatory.

Some brands of steel-toe footwear, particularly Dr. Martens and Grinders, have become fashionable within subcultures such as skinhead,punk, and rivethead. While brands that were previously renowned within the fashion industry have also diversified into the safety footwear market, industrial brands like Caterpillar, Michelin and JCB have also given out licenses to produce safety footwear.

Facebook

Facebook Addicted

We all know that Facebook is a top one social networking service after twitter. Why we joined Facebook? We join Facebook because everyone has an account including our family. And it's weird grandmother and grandfather also have one account rite? -.-", we join Facebook because of with Facebook we can meet old friends, finding new friends, finding new girlfriends/boyfriends and so on. And now Facebook become trend and i'm pretty sure that all the readers this blog have one account Facebook.

There are many application on your mobile phone, tablet and i-pod and first application we choose for download is Facebook. This is we call Facebook addicted especially to teenagers.

It's not a bad thing if we have one account Facebook. The problem is how long you spend time with Facebook one day. Especially to Blackberry users, non-stop! I know this because when i was 18, i work for my mother at office. I saw people around me especially teenagers, they keep smile and laugh so i go to them and what i saw on the screen is FACEBOOK.COM. I can't believe they still facebooking while working.

Many people stay up till late night especially girls just for stalking their friends, chatting and farming(facebook aplication). It's not good sleep late because sleep late may affect our mental, health and academic performance too.

Furthermore, it's become habit to girls facebooking on bed and turn off the lamp and eating junk food. And sometimes they put their laptop at stomach during lying down and sleep with their lovely laptop.

Now sports activity not so famous like social networks. People more like social network than sports. It's becoming trend now. Because of facebook also human became lazy, an example like staying in the same house. You at level 2 and your friend at level 1, why can't take 10 second to walk up stairs call your friend? Why need facebook chat too?

The issue is, did they care about their work performance at workplace?

Because of Facebook they come late to works and not punctual, and sometimes sleep at workplace. Because of facebook also they got joint pain because of wrong sleeping position, and high potential to get sore eyes because of bright screen attack our eyes.

In conclusion, all facebook users should take notes that over online facebook may cause harm to you. And management should block any social networking at workplace and give warning those who keep coming late to work.

Think about it teenagers, don't waste your time on facebook only. Think about your future, performance and health. For boys, how bout spending your time at gym or jogging or any healthy activity. And for girls, how bout spending your time like do kitchen work or anything healthy activity too. Thank you

protecting workers from heat stress in the workplace

Heat stress is a disease caused by over exposure to UV rays or the sun while doing jobs such as construction sites. Perform work on construction sites are often more vulnerable to heat stress. The work was also greater risk of heat stress. In addition,heat stress can also cause disease and can cause death and heat stroke can occur.Heat stroke is the most severe disease and dangerous. Besides that, among other diseases that can cause heat stress such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat rash, Should also be avoided.

Risk factors that cause heat stress

• High temperature and humidity, direct sun exposure,

Accident at work related to the machine

There are many accidents that occur in the workplace caused by the negligence of workers at work, especially when operating the machine. As we know the machine has various types and functions of the cut, move, drill and so on. If the machine is not controlled, maintained and closed many accidents can occur which: -

FIGURE 3

FIGURE 4

Recommendation:


Therefore, there are several ways to solve this problem by putting a "guard" on each machine that is no barrier to prevent this incident from recurring such as:
   
    
1.Barrier Covered

• It is a permanent barrier or barriers to prevent any member of the body from contact with moving machine components.

     


2. Interlocking Guards

• It is the best alternative when the guards would not be available. If the guard is opened, the power supply to the machine is broken
• Install log out tag out to all the machines  should not be used freely and should not be used if the machine is locked. only those who have the key can turn on the machine

3.Automatic guard

• It is usually used in the repeated cycle of operations. The members of a protected operator body when moving machine components.
• If, one hand to operate the machine, the machine will not work.

 4.Barrier Design

•  Shall be designed so that it does not need to be opened during machine repair or maintenance.
• Make sure that the space between the guard and the machine is minimal to prevent the operator from reaching the body to "danger point" (the enemy/danger).
• All controls turn on or turn off the machine must be within reach of the operator.
• Emergency push buttons must be easily accessible and clearly marked. To turn on the machine, do it manually every time.
• Inspection, review and preventive maintenance should always be done. Have a preventive maintenance program that includes inspections of all machine guarding.

ConclusionMachine operators and employers must protect employees and whether the machine is in good condition or not. According to the factory and machinery act1967, all dangerous parts of machinery must be fenced and built for the safety ofworkers. Penalties under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994 for employees who violate the rules is a fine not exceeding RM 1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding three months or both.

Therefore, each employee must be alert and aware of the work that is done to avoid the occurrence of things that are not desired in the workplace. Therefore, employers and machine operators must play an important role in the workplace. Safety must come first and must remember what happened to safety first. Remember loved ones.

-HAVE A NICE DAY =)
