1. TWO WHEELER DRIVING




TWO WHEELER TRAVEL


The motorized two-wheeler rider is the one most likely to sustain serious injuries no matter what he

hits- a pedestrian, a cat or another vehicle. This is because he is traveling at a speed more than 15kmph without any protection around, and the human body is not able to tolerate forces generatedwhen the head or any other bone hits hard and rigid objects at speed higher than 15 kmph.

DO's :1. Observe Lane discipline

2. Always obey posted speed limits.3. Help those in need of the highway.4. Always use Helmet.5. Be vigilant at both intersection and non-intersection locations, especially in the urban areas.6. Check Head/Tail lamps.7. Obey Traffic rules on road.

8. You should be aware of what is behind and in the sides before maneuvering. Look behind you; userear / side fitted mirrors.

DON'T:1. Don¶t drink and drive.2. Do not drive/over take dangerously.3. Do not park vehicles in wrong manner.4. Do not use the cell phone when driving.



2. FOUR WHEELER DRIVING




FOUR WHEELER TRAVEL


Do¶s1. Always carry your original driving license and important documents (Insurance copy, RC, road

tax token, pollution certificate).

2. Obey all traffic signals, lights and signs, and always stop before the STOP LINE at traffic

intersections.

3. Use the indicator or hand signals when maneuvering the vehicle.

4. Adhere to permitted speed limits.

5. Wear seat belts ± Front & Rear

Don't let extension cords hang over countertops where children can pull an appliance off the counter.

RECOMMENDED PPE¶s ±ELECTRICITY : Gum Boots, Electrical Safety Shoes & Electrical Hand Gloves (HT/LT)



4. WORK AT HEIGHTS





Ladders are commonly used in most work places. However the risks involved in using ladders is

usually underestimated. Falls from ladders account for many serious work-related injuries eachyear. Lifting or carrying ladders and ladders collapsing or falling also cause many injuries. Ladders

should only be used where the risk assessment shows other work equipment is not suitable and

where the work activity is light work, low risk and of short duration.

Do¶s

Do ensure to wear helmet if the height

is more than 2 meters. Do a daily pre-use check

Do secure it

Do set up on firm ground, never on a moveable

surface, e.g. pallets, blocks, etc

Do have a strong upper resting point

Do have ladder at a safe angle (1 out for every 4

units up)

Do use for short duration work only Do use for light work only

Do grip the stiles while climbing

Minimum of 2 trained individuals must be available on the site for all work at height to issue work

permit, monitor the job and support in case of emergency

Don¶ts

Don¶t overreach, keep your belt buckle between the

stiles, both feet on same rung Don¶t carry out work which causes sideways

loadings

Don¶t work on top three rungs, or top two steps for

stepladders

Don¶t straddle an A frame ladder

Don¶t move a ladder while standing on the rungs

Don¶t slide down the stiles

Don¶t extend a ladder while standing on the rungs

decreasing fall distance

Consists of a(n)

Lanyard

Anchorage Point

Full Body Harness

Attachment Strap



5. ROOF TOP FIRES




ROOF TOP FIRES:


DOS Know your buildings evacuation plan.

Evacuate calmly and quickly whenever a fire alarm or carbon monoxide alarm sounds.

Keep important items such as medications and medical equipment handy for quick access in

the event of a building evacuation.

Know two ways out of any building.

Before opening a door, feel it with the back of your hand. If the door is hot, do not open it.

If you encounter smoke during your evacuation, stay low to the floor.

Know the outside meeting point for your building.

Call the fire department from a safe location by calling .

Make sure that hallways and stairway doors close tightly.

Know the locations of fire extinguishers, fire alarm pull stations, and exits.

Learn to use a fire extinguisher nature of various extinguishers check expiry dates regularly

DONTS

Use halogen lamps near curtains or other combustibles. Hang tapestries from walls or ceilings. Leave cooking appliances unattended.

Tamper with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, fire alarms or sprinkler systems.

Ignore any building alarm.

Hang anything from sprinkler heads or pipes. Foreign objects may impede the systems function.

Use elevators during an evacuation



6. MATERIAL HANDLING




MATERIAL HANDLING

DO'S AND DON'TS TO SAFE LIFTING


DO...

Stretch and get warmed up before performing manual handling tasks.

While carrying out manual handling tasks, be aware of how your body is aligned.

Prepare for the task by removing obstacles in your path and by sizing up the load.

Be close to the load you are handling.

Wear comfortable, cushioned and well supportive shoes.

Get help if the load is too bulky or heavy.

Push a cart rather than pulling it.

Keep yourself in good physical condition.

Don't...

Wait until you feel pain or discomfort to stop an activity.

Lift, carry, push or pull a load with your back bent or stopped over.

Twist or lean your body to the side while performing a manual-handling task.

Handle a load too far away from you.

Over reach when moving an object from a high shelf.

Jerk as you lift.

Lift or carry a load that you cannot handle safely.

Perform the same task for more than 30 minutes without a brief interruption.



7. STRUCTURAL FAILURE





Either one or more of the factors listed below may cause distress in buildings

Deficiencies in design

Poor detailing of reinforcement in RC structural members and joints

Poor quality of construction

Corrosion of reinforcement due to aggressive environment.

Inadequacies in the structural system to resist lateral forces due to natural hazards likecyclones and earthquakes.

Settlement or differential settlement of foundation

Extreme and unforeseen loading.

In case if you come across any kind of crack, corrosion, structural concern which can be a

threat to safety than please raise the alarm immediately to your respective line manager and safety SPOC of the zone.



8. SNAKE MANAGEMENT




SNAKE MANAGEMENT


Dealing with Snake-bite!

Do not try to catch or kill a snake. Statistics show that 95% of people that end up in hospital from snakebite arethose that have tried to kill or interfere with the snake. Remember on a warm day a snake can strike high off theground, springing off it's tail!

Do not wash the bite site. A doctor can use a sample from the bite site to help identify the venom by using aVenom Detection Kit test, aiding in the administering of the correct antivenin.

Do not give food or drink - especially alcohol, small sips of water are acceptable if there is a great delay in thevictim being transported to hospital.

Do not cut or suck the bite. (By sucking the bite site the first aider may become envenomated & cutting it maycause other unwanted medical problems).

Do not apply or use a tourniquet. (A tourniquet will cause compression injuries to nerves, tendons, ligaments,arteries, veins etc:

Vegetation must be removed from cell sites on a regular basis.

All cable access holes must be µplugged¶ to restrict access by snakes.

Always apply first aid and seek urgent medical assistance upon any suspected snakebite.

Venomous snakebites are not always painful and may not be visible to the naked or untrained eye. There may or may not be puncture or scratch marks, let alone two puncture marks as most commonly seen in the movies.Venomous snakes have more than just two fangs in their mouth, they have other teeth both top & bottom as wedo, consequently multiple scratch or puncture marks may be seen.

A venomous snake only needs to break the top layer of skin & leave a tiny sample of venom (invisible to theeye) and this could be responsible for a fatality.

Every Circle must have a list of hospitals which have facilities for treating snake bites. The list must be reviewedevery 6 months and should be a key piece of knowledge held by personnel in supervisory positions..



9. ANGER MANAGEMENT




ANGER MANAGEMENT :


What is anger?

Anger is a natural response to perceived threats. It's a warning bell that tells you when something is wrong. Anger causes your body to release adrenaline ² the fight-or-flight hormone ² which can increase muscle tension, heartrate and blood pressure. Anger might trigger or encompass other emotions, such as sadness, disappointment or frustration. Anger becomes a problem only when you don't manage it in a healthy way.

DO¶s :1. Do speak up when an issue is important to you. Obviously, we don't have to address every injustice and irritationthat comes along. It can be an act of maturity to simply let something go. But if you've sat with your anger for a while, it'sa mistake to stay silent if the cost is to feel bitter, resentful or unhappy. We de-self ourselves when we fail to take a stand

on issues that matter to us.2. Do take time out to think about the problem and clarify your position. Before you speak out, be clear about whatthe real issue is, what you want to accomplish, and how to maximize the chances you will be heard.3. Do Speak in "I" language. Learn to say, "I think..." "I feel..." "I fear ..." "I want..." A true "I" statement says somethingabout the self without criticizing or blaming the other person and without holding the other person responsible for your

feelings or reactions. Watch out for disguised "you" statements or pseudo- "I" statements. ("I think you need to controleverything."4. Do try to appreciate the fact that people are different. Try to recognize that there are as many ways of seeing theworld, as there are people in it. If you're fighting about who has the "truth" you may be missing the point. Different

perspectives and ways of getting comfortable don't necessarily mean that one person is "right" and the other "wrong."5. Do recognize that each person is responsible for his or her own behavior. Don't blame your son's (or dad's) wifebecause she "won't let him" be close to you. If you're angry about your son's distance it is your responsibility to find anew way to approach him. Your son's behavior is his responsibility, not his wife's.6. Do try to avoid speaking through a third party. If you're angry with you're brother's behavior, don't say, "I think mydaughter felt terrible when you didn't find the time to come to her school play." Instead try, "I felt badly when you didn't

come. You're important to me and I really wanted you to be there."




DON¶TS :

1. Don't strike while the iron is hot. A good fight will clear the air in some relationships, but if your goal is to

change an entrenched pattern, the worst time to speak up may be when you're feeling angry or intense. Seekingtemporary distance ("Let's figure out another time to talk about this") is not the same as cold withdrawal or cutoff)2. Don't use "below-the-belt" tactics. These include: blaming, interpreting, diagnosing, labeling,psychoanalyzing, preaching, moralizing, ordering, threatening, interrogating, ridiculing and lecturing. Never useemail to confront another person or process an emotional subject.3. Don't make vague requests. ("I want you to be more sensitive to my needs.") Let the other person knowspecifically want you want. ("The best way that you can help me now is just to listen. I really don't want advice atthis time.") Don't expect people to anticipate your needs or do things you haven't requested. Even those who love

you can't read your mind.4. Don't tell another person what she or he thinks or feels or "should" think or feel. If another person gets

angry in reaction to a change you make, don't criticize their feelings or tell them they have no right to be angry.Better to say, "I understand that you're angry, and if I were in your shoes, I might be angry, too. But I thought itover and this is my decision." Remember that one person's right to be angry doesn't mean that the other is to beblame.5. Don't participate in intellectual arguments that go nowhere. Don't spin your wheels trying to convince theother person of the "rightness" of your position. If the other person isn't hearing you, simply say, "Well it maysound crazy to you, but this is how we feel." Or, "I understand that you disagree, and it sounds like we see the

problem differently.³6. Don't expect change to come about from hit-and-run confrontations. Change occurs slowly in closerelationships. If you make even a small change, you will be tested many times to see if you "really mean it." Don't

get discourage if you start out fine but then blow it when things heat up again. Getting derailed is just part of theprocess, so be patient with yourself. You will have many opportunities to get back on track...and try again.



10. OTHER FIRES




OTHER FIRES :


Throughout your house:Do install a smoke detector on every floor.Do plan your escape routes in case fire does strike.

Bedroom:Don't put ashtrays on chair or sofa arms.Don't run electrical cords under rugs, over nails or in high traffic areas.

Don't leave unattended cigarettes burning in ashtrays.Don't staple electrical cords to walls or otherwise pierce the insulation

Kitchen:

Don't leave food unattended on the stove. If you must leave the kitchen take a wooden spoon ora pot holder as a reminder.Don't cook wearing sleeves that can dangle near the burners.Don't use your oven to heat your home.Don't let grease build up on your stove or oven.

Don't let crumbs build up on your toaster.Don't overload electrical outlets with appliances.Do unplug heaters after you turn them off.Don't let curtains hang near your range.Do check the kitchen before bed. Oven off? Coffee pot unplugged?




Don't Play with Anything That Can Cause a Fire!

Doesn't that sound simple? Yet, you would be surprised at the number of childrenwho play with items that can start a fire not realizing how fast a fire can grow. Takethe time to review the following safety tips.

Don't play with matches and lighters.Don't play with firecrackers.Don't use a candle without your parents in the room.Don't play with BBQ starters.

Don't light paper or other objects on fire to see if it burns. It will and can quickly

get out of control. Fires can get out of control in seconds.

Stop, Drop & RollDo you know what to do if your clothes catch on fire?Stop immediately.Drop to the ground.Roll over and over, back and forth while covering your face and mouth.

Roll until all the flames are out. Practice Stop, Drop & Roll it so you won't forget it in

case of an emergency. You can practice it with your family, even your grandparents.Remember: STOP, DROP & ROLL is not just for kids.Crawl Low under Smoke and Know the Way Out

Crawl low to get out of a smoke filled room. The air toward the floor is easier tobreathe.

You need to plan two ways out of each room before a fire occurs so you'll knowwhere you can safely exit.
