Driving

A lot of people won't mind the speed sign at the road side. 

Think twice if you are over speed limit, as the consequences would be distinctively great and not a good one.

The speed limit is 60 km/h.....

But your speedometer is at 169 ++ km/h...and you're busy messaging your friends....

It is hard to break on time and to maneuver on time..

you are not looking out for the road.....

THEN...

These might happens and 

shit do happens

You might HIT a motorcycle..... or

You might HIT pedestrian.....or

Lost control of your so called SAFE vehicle... or

Targeted on the SPEED TRAP....or

Being CHASE by the law enforcer.... or

Still don't mind who chasing you, then the whole squadron is line up to pursue your EGO.. or

you might end up in the hospital if you're LUCKY... or

just get a TICKET and get away from it... or

Just plan your journey WISELY, follow the RULES,  don't RUSH... 

You might safe other people'S lives and yours.

and lastly

Don't ever park your car like this... it's hard to do so....

THE OFFICE

This is particularly similar with my workstation and my colleagues workstations. Throughout years, we had a crappy and lousy workstations which have forced us to ask for a whole new office. Our commitment and focus towards our routine and non-routine work deteriorated each day, which we don't want to.
Therefore, we are proposing the new look for our new office.

Neat, isn't it....(Current workstation)

We have to block this door because there's no lock.

(Current office)

So, perhaps, maybe the management would consider on our PROPOSAL.... which is....

Our very own section meeting room....

Our very own front counter....

Our very own brainstorming area...

Our very own eating area ..

Our very own head section room....

Our very own stress release area... (PS3 included)

Our very own discussion room...

And our very own employee work space...

We hope that the management would agree on this...

England Absence of training and risk assessment led to major injury A workman has not worked for 18 months following an industrial accident in which he fractured a leg. The accident victim was working at Stanley's Quarry in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, removing scants (pieces of stone pre-cut into a block) during July 2009, manually removing each piece with a forklift truck to transport them. The accident occurred because the stones were not adequately stabilised and a number of scants broke free and fell onto him, breaking his left leg in two places. HSE officials deemed that he should have not been working alone. He was unable to summon help, and resorted to using a hammer to move a lever on the forklift truck to lift the scants off his body and raise the alarm using the forklift horn. Investigation revealed the stones had been inadequately secured. The accident victim's line-manager had no relevant health and safety training. Additionally, the task had not been risk assessed and, as a consequence, no safe system of work had been devised. The owner of the quarry admitted breaching S.2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and was fined £5,000 plus £8,790 costs.19th January 2011

Residents Mentality Towards Lifts

Nowadays at this very frigging millennia, people need to use lift to go up and down, not only in apartments but also in shopping complexes and offices.
People are so depending on this machines so much that, if the machines malfunctions, people would have to face the difficulty to use the stairs. It's ok for you if your home is at 2nd floor, what about a resident who stayed at 30th floor? It would be troublesome isn't it? What about for those people that are aged, impaired, and pregnant?
The most common defects that leading to this situation is the landing door at the hallway. Every time the lift or elevator is too slow to arrive, people would get mad easily. Maybe the person is in rush, time attack or just frigging out of their mind. For them waiting is a waste. Well, TIME IS GOLD!!! What about safety, what about your life, other people's life? Is the life of human being is as cheap as the landing door? Rushing and vandalizing won't be the answer.
These type of peoples would easily raised their foot and make a side kick to get out of their system. This actions would definitely make the so called landing door dented which subsequently uplift the landing lock which is connected the electrical switches in series system. Then the lift would tripped. Just imagine that, if there are passengers in that very lift, the passengers would be in shock knowing that the lift had stop halfway from the floor. They would be panicked, and truly they would find a way to get out of the car lift. This ultimate blind action is leading them to accident which far most can be fatal.
Living in an apartments, condos is like a community that concerns for each other, taking care of each other. We living in a community for god's sake!
Than after the lift is tripped, the maintenance company would definitely quoted the damaged. Furthermore, the respected joint management body have to pay for the fault of their residents done. The money can go for the upgrading facilities rather spending the money repairing the lift defects every month which is largely comes from the residents itself. The other thing is that residents refuse to pay the maintenance fees. Refusing to pay would create greater problem. Think for yourself, for who ever reading this post. What are the consequences?
For me, local authorities should get involved in this problem to find a way to overcome it. It's just like a time bomb, waiting for an accidents to occur. If an accidents happens, who to be blamed and who to blame for?
Therefore, with this brief thought, the people's attitude and mentality must change in order to live in a harmony and prosperous environment.
Patience is virtue.

Joint Management Body.

After all these years, I've been wondering, why is it lifts in a low cost apartment is so not well maintained if compared to medium and high cost apartment and condominium.
I've been searching for the answer for a while now. Dont have the answer, but I've developed a theory for this neverending problem.
For me there are four things that contributed to this factor.
Hmmm... why is it low cost apartment is lacking in lift maintenance?...
First of all, maybe the attitude and mentality of a residents, secondly, commitment towards maintenance fees, thirdly, the lifts is outdated and lastly the management body itself.
If you noticed, medium and high cost apartment dont have much problem towards any lift breakdown, which is minimal. As far as I'm concerned, the attitude of one's behaviour can make a huge differences in lift breakdown.
For example, you have pressed  the call button and waited for the lift to arrive. But, still the lift didn't arrive after sometime. Your patience have grown dull, you are waiting no longer, with all the temper you kick and punch the call button at the hallway until the button is torn out. This is what happened at the low cost apartment. Apart from that, vandalisme is much higher, dont know why this nonsense happening, maybe some junkie had enough, or maybe stressfull person letting out the fury, or maybe just for fun. Dont know which is which, which is the answer for this wrong doing.
Another thing is that maintenance fees. All residents, I assure you, want a first class facility but dont want to pay for the fees. How could a car can have free maintenance for life?? I've seen a debt that reaches five figures, how that could be?
Futhermore, the lift itself. There are some lifts have been installed in the 80's. The control panel, the electrical parts, the mechanical parts  is outdated. The lifts is now a breakdown-prone. The spareparts is hard to get.
Just imagine that, the lift is just like a car. Would the spareparts for the 80's car still available in the market nowadays?.
Then, the management body, a full commitment and well organized management would have eliminate all of these nonsenses. The collected fees can be put in the good use.
I've seen a low cost management body manage to overcome vandalisme and fees problem. It's been a well organized management body. Firstly, they installed a bunch of CCTV camera to prevent any vandalisme, crimes and other things. This method seems to be a successful one. Then the residents feels that the money they put in have show the benefits. Not only that, the money they've collected is used for the swimming pool and spa facility. They have done it just with a proper management and CCTV camera.
Then I start to wonder again, is this method can be applied to all apartments and condominiums?

Boiler Accident

This boiler accidents occured on July, 18, 2007. Tennessee.

An investigation was done by experts to determine the cause of the explosion. It is found that the most probable cause determined was the sudden introduction of feed water to the boiler due to low water in the boiler. Malfunction safety devices contributed to this occurence, which is by right can be avoided.

The recommendations made by these expert were ;

1. Should develop procedures for the training and certification of all boiler
   operators.
2. should invest in a remote monitoring system that will monitor the boiler
   operations while the boiler operators are performing their maintenance responsibilities.
3. All maintenance to the boiler and boiler associated equipment’s controls and safety devices
   should be performed by an experienced and qualified outside vendor knowledgeable in their
   operation and function.
4. Boilers and boiler associated equipment’s controls and safety devices should be tested
   annually by an experienced and qualified outside vendor knowledgeable in their operation
   and function.
5. All steam pressure relief valves should be removed, inspected, and pressure tested annually
   to ensure proper nameplate set pressure and operation.
6. It is crucial that all boiler operator daily operational tests, duties, and responsibilities
   recommended by the boiler manufacturer are adhered to, followed, and performed.
7. The audible and visual alarm system for the boiler plant should be overhauled to ensure
   notification throughout the plant.
8. Emergency and evacuation procedures should be developed.
9. Should ensure that all mandatory inspections to the boilers are performed
   per the requirement of law.
10. Any future incident or accident involving a boiler, pressure vessel (e.g., autoclave, air storage
    tank, etc.), or boiler related equipment should be reported to the govern authorities immediately.

 

Person In Charge

Today I'm gonna share something that might be useful for some people. The person in charge according to boiler heating surface. Heating surface will be referred as HS.

1. HS <= 500                                1st or 2nd grade Boilerman
2. 500 < HS <= 2000                   1st grade Boilerman
3. 2000 < HS < 5000                   1st grade Boilerman + Visiting Engineer
4. 5000 < HS < 10000                 1st or 2nd grade Engineer + 1st grade Boilerman
5. 10000 < HS < 25000               1st grade Engineer + 1st grade or 2nd grade Engineer  +  1st or 2nd grade Boilerman/shift
6. 25000 < HS < 50000               1st grade Engineer + two 1st grade or 2nd grade Engineer  +  1st or 2nd grade Boilerman/shift
7. HS > 50000                             1st grade Engineer + 1st grade or 2nd grade Engineer/shift  +  1st or 2nd grade Boilerman/shift

These are required person incharge for an industries including hotels for those who have boilers.
