Ergonomics and Safety of the Workplace

First Aid and Flame Resistant Uniforms

At Cintas you will find many Tools to make workplace safe. These are like Uniforms and Apparel, First Aid and Safety, Fire Protection and Flame Resistant Clothing.

Also a Cleanroom Resources section, which is very important for Microelectronics and Precision Instrumentation.

In spite of "Prevention better than cure", a worker can get injured, more so on the field, where preventive measures may not be in place.

Here is a Portable First Aid Kit that should be in Service and Commissioning Departments. A stitch in time saves nine.
in reference to:

"Your employees may require first aid at remote worksites, too."

Worker Safety and Health Education

This is another resource for Workers and Employers. When we educate ourselves about a Hazard, that awareness is the first step of defense.

Resources like this should have a Kids Section. Just like Nasa and Fcc have. We have to catch them young, Interactive tutors and Activities will prepare them for a Safe and Sensible future. Home, Garden, Transport and School are also like a Workpace.

Kids of recent generations are degrading intellectually, it is more so in the developed countries. Education has to be emphasized, Hobby DIY activities encouraged. Hardships simulated, so they become responsible Young Citizens.

Rockefeller Jr. was brought up with such discipline, he was not allowed entertainment when he was young. His father the richest man in the US at that time.

Intrinsic Safety and Zener Barriers

Designing and Building Intrinsically safe Industrial Systems is of paramount importance as Human Safety is involved. Even in Switching Loads some contactors, relays, circuit breakers and motors are hazards as some sparking becomes inevitable.

Solid State Relays are safer but on an overload even these can pose a fire hazard if a HRC fuse is not used. Sensor measurements must employ low voltages and currents. Even cabling management and hermetically sealed enclosures may be required when volatile fluids are close by.

Ergonomics and Manpower the Engine of Growth

A Worker in One Firm is a Customer for another Firm. Healthy and Safe Workers implies a strengthening Consumer base.

Just imagine what wonders it can do for the economy, when you broaden your view, think togetherness, as a Whole; not in isolated competitive groups, not in parts.

Ergonomics reduces Worker Stress. Helps in keeping good Mental and Physical Health. Safety is very important. His Limbs, Eyes and Ears are assets that a firm hires.

On this page you can start learning these aspects. A good Manager knows that Manpower is the Foremost Asset of any Company.
