ERGONOMIC, PRACTICAL, AND SAFE. Use the proper tool for the designated task. Frequent use of inadequate or poorly designed equipment will eventually lead to health hazards (tendonitis, trigger finger, white finger, carpal tunnel syndrome). Never carry/yank a tool by its cord or hose. Also be sure to keep these cords or hoses far from oil, heat, water, and sharp edges. Protect your ears and eyes from intense noises and vibrations; opt for power tools with lower vibrations, muffled noises, and longer trigger tools. Ensure hand tools do not conduct heat or electricity. Maintain good posture and balance the tools in correct alignment to your body at all times. Keep other people well away from machine-operating areas. Consider investing on a construction safety program for your employees. ...read more

Slips, trips and falls were the second leading cause of nonfatal occupational injuries or illnesses involving days away from work in 2013, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. OSHA’s Walking-Working Surfaces Standard (1910.22(a)) states that all workplaces should be “kept clean and orderly and in a sanitary condition.” The rule includes passageways, storerooms and service rooms. Floors should be clean and dry. Drainage should be present where “wet processes are used.” Employers should select adequate flooring (e.g., cement, ceramic tile or another material), as different types of flooring hold up better under certain conditions, said Fred Norton, technical director of ergonomics and manufacturing technology for Risk Control Services, Liberty Mutual Insurance in Walnut Creek, CA. Then, develop and implement housekeeping procedures using appropriate cleaners. “Things like oils and grease – if you don’t use the right kind of cleaning protocols, you’ll just spread slipperiness around rather than getting it up and off the floor,” Norton said. To help prevent slip, trip and fall incidents, the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety recommends the following: Report and clean up spills and leaks. Keep aisles and exits clear of items. Consider installing mirrors and warning signs to help with blind spots. Replace worn, ripped or damage flooring. Consider installing anti-slip flooring in areas that can’t always be cleaned. Use drip pans and guards. In addition, provide mats, platforms, false floors or “other dry standing places” where useful, according to OSHA. Every workplace should be free of projecting nails, splinters, holes and loose boards. Gray added that employers should audit for trip hazards, and encourage workers to focus on the task at hand. ...read more

It’s a family affair The traditional role of Dad working away feverishly at theBBQis no longer the image today’s luxury outdoor grill manufacturers want to encourage. The experience of cooking on new innovative products like the Angara barbecue table is changing the perceptions of how we enjoy our summer BBQ. In addition to the state of the art technology, the barbecue table’s stunning design offers a built-in grill system down the center of the unit. The location of the cooking surfaces allows maximum interaction with friends and family sitting on either side of the table. Everyone is cooking on this barbie. It’s a family affair, and that includes the kids, too! Children can join in the cooking process Most parents can remember the fun and excitement associated with helping to bake cookies or the fun of applying icing to cupcakes. As a reward for mixing ingredients, we were treated to a taste of cookie dough or better still the opportunity to lick off every last bit of icing on the mixing spoon. While rewards may not be quite as instant for children during the prep period before grilling, the final prize will be the food on their plates. Knowing they were responsible for mixing the ingredients and forming the patties for that mouth-watering hamburger will be a personal source of pride. Depending on the age and maturity level of children, parents can provide fun tasks to everyone at the barbecue table when the experience of backyard grilling begins. The tasks can vary. Some children can work in the kitchen to help mom, dad or an older sibling with the preparation of a marinade for one of the grilled proteins. Older children can work the tongs or spatula at grill side. Include children in the decision-making process when discussing menu choices. If pizza is the family’s dinner choice children can offer suggestions for toppings and apply them after the dough is prepared. Kneading dough is a great task for kids! We have great recipes for a family pizza night right here. Children can also pick the appropriate vegetables for meat or fish dishes. When a tasty shish-kabob is planned for the grill children can help thread the appropriate vegetables and meat portions onto skewers. Also it’s a good idea to include your kids when preparing a shopping list and let them come along and help at the grocery store. Whatever the role they play; the kids can become an integral part of the magic of dinner. Safety first Before preparations for family meals on the grill begin, there are some fundamental rules of safety that need to be addressed. When there is more than one cook in the kitchen, the principles of teamwork assume that at least one member of the cooking brigade will assume the leadership role. In the backyard barbecue scenario, it’s usually a parent. In their absence, a teenager could easily fill the role. One of their job requirements is ensuring all family members adhere to some basic safety rules. ...read more
