SHO ebook

After a long lost years of blogging, I am finally feels like to continue writing on this blog. A new concept to be introduced, a new approach to create awareness of safety and health in workplaces and as well as to public.
Recently, I’ve discovered a SHO ebook which is a very useful and handy one for those who want to sit for SHO exam and take it as a reference. It is good to know that this particular ebook demonstrates a concept that are easy to understand.
This ebook offers a variety set of questions and answers for paper 1 and paper 2 and, an example for paper 3 and paper 4. It is quite helpful and useful to use as a reference. If you are about to develop OSH management system, this ebook can definitely tell you how to do it. On the other hand, it shows you how to comply, yet but not all, to Section 15 of Occupational Safety and Health Act.
If you go through the said ebook, you’ll find a sound idea of how to get a practicable compliance to the act. 
As such Section 15 is as below.

‘Section 15. General duties of employers and self-employed persons to their employees.’

Section 15 (1) It shall be the duty of every employer and every self-employed person to ensure, so far as is practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of all his employees.

In order to comply to Section 15 (1), this act introduce Section 15 (2), as shown below.

Section 15 (2) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), the matters to which the duty extends include in particular:   

(a)  the provision and maintenance of plant and systems of work that are, so far as is practicable, safe and without risks to health;  

(b)  the making of arrangements for ensuring, so far as is practicable, safety and absence of risks to health in connection with the use or operation, handling, storage and transport of plant and substances;  

(c)  the provision of such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is practicable, the safety and health at work of his employees;  

(d)  so far as is practicable, as regards any place of work under the control of the employer or self-employed person, the maintenance of it in a condition that is safe and without risks to health and the provision and maintenance of the means of access to and egress from it that are safe and without such risks;  

(e)  the provision and maintenance of a working environment for his employees  that is, so far as is practicable, safe, without risks to health, and adequate as regards facilities for their welfare at work.

In order to comply to Section 15 (2), you shall have a good OSH management system which can be found in this ebook.

Hello and Hi again,

Recently I've came across a very interesting article which writes about an obesity and how to get over it.
This article particularly highlighted that you can eat whatever you want, eventhough the ones with fat, do less exercise and still stay lean.
Surprise isn't it???
Yeah, me too.
This crucial article did stir some attention for those who emphasize the importance of diet, which, eat less fat, eat more fibre, and do a lot of exercises. It's like a war with this new hypothesis. War of relentless article of who's right and who's wrong.
Let me give you readers an idea, a picture of what is going on.
Over 50 years, the public health affairs have been advertising the terribleness of fat that you consumes daily, which resulted in obesity. Ok, now let us see around the world, and more closely around us. People are still getting fat!! What I meant is that, the hypothesis is not quite right, right? Come on, it's over 50 years now.
People do get hungry often when they are doing a lot of works or excercies.
