Missing Tyre

With the economy rapidly growing, competition can be a bumper. Severe cost cutting measures may be the only way to stay competitive or in business. A tyre here, a tyre there can go a long way to cut cost as demonstrated by this truck driver. Get REAL! This is not the way to stay in business.

Fire Exits

The Function of a Fire Resistant Door is to provide for a means of escape and to protect escape routes from the effects of fire so that occupants can safely evacuate to a final exit. The other function is to compartmentalize fire risk areas. To protect the contents and/ or the structure of a building by limiting the spread of fire.

This fire door will definitely limit the spread of the fire but it will also prevent occupants from ever leaving the premises. Getting to the door is a challenge. Getting out is a HOPE

Safety At Home

We are all concerned about the safety and security of our homes. We would like to install safety devices in our home to protect it. But many of us do not know how to proceed to ensure safety at home. Below are some suggestions;
- Your neighborhood police station will have a number of suggestions for home safety. Check with them for novel safety solutions to protect your home.
- Getting your property insured is an important safety measure for your house. Many insurance agencies, while insuring your house, will give you a list of safety devices that you can install in your house to protect it. Check with your insurance agent for details.
- Carbon Monoxide reduces the oxygen level in the surrounding air. Electrical appliances and household aides give off deadly carbon monoxide, if they are not regularly serviced. Protect your home from carbon monoxide by properly servicing all appliances periodically. You could install carbon monoxide detectors in your house as well.

Prescription Safety Glasses

I have been wearing goggles over my glasses to work for several years now. STUPID me! I found out recently that there are prescription safety glasses that I could wear on site. I was quite skeptical about it but went to the optician and had a pair of safety glasses with progressive lens made. It felt good and I can see well. A little uncomfortable at first with the side guard but got used to them quickly. Now all my guys in the shop are wearing them. Feels great and safe at the same time. It sure beats trying to force them to wear those uncomfortable goggles.

Joy Ride Lorry

I was driving along after another miserable game of golf. Saw some guys having a great time on the back of this lorry. Two were standing up, one was sitting on the tail gate and another sitting on the top of the hand rail. These are young boys who do not know better....This is Singapore and we are supposed to be really safety conscious. Looks like we have a long way to go when it comes to SAFETY.

On The Road

Emergency welding repair is sometimes called for UNDER special circumstances. This is definitely one of those special situations. I hope there is gas in the tank as well

Stand Up High

Got this shots off the net as well.

Really brave standing up that high. I don't think I have that kind of courage... but some people do.
