📣NEW ONLINE COURSE📣
Lithium-Ion Battery Safety

From OHS NEWS:
Lithium batteries are now common in a wide range of products, devices and equipment used by consumers and industry. Although their high energy density can make them more useful than other battery types, it can also make lithium batteries very dangerous if they fail.

Some of the hazards when they fail include:
• Exploding or bursting into flame in a thermal runaway reaction (some lithium batteries have an energy density close to that of dynamite).
• Venting of toxic vapours.
• Release of corrosive materials.
• Electric shock (particularly when used in some high-voltage applications, such as electric vehicles or large power tools).

Alberta’s OHS legislation doesn’t have any specific requirements regarding lithium batteries. However, employers, supervisors and workers still have certain legislated health and safety responsibilities that apply in relation to such batteries due to their hazardous nature.

Why should employers invest in Mental Health First Aid Training?

✔ Improves Workplace Safety:
Workers who can recognize and address mental health challenges are better equipped to prevent accidents, reducing safety risks associated with mental health crises or cognitive impairments on the job.

✔ Reduces Absenteeism and Presenteeism:
Mental health challenges can lead to absenteeism and presenteeism (being present but less productive).
Training helps reduce these issues by offering early intervention strategies, enabling employees to seek help sooner.

✔ Increases Productivity and Morale:
A workforce that feels supported and valued is often more productive and engaged. Mental health first aid training shows that the company cares about employees' well-being, boosting morale and commitment to work.

✔ Promotes a Positive and Inclusive Workplace Culture:
Training helps create an environment where employees feel safe to discuss mental health openly.
This inclusiveness can improve relationships among team members, fostering a supportive culture.

✔ Enhances Crisis Response Skills: Mental health first aid training teaches employees to recognize and respond appropriately to mental health crises. This prepares teams to handle emergencies effectively, which is especially critical in high-stakes work environments.

✔ Encourages Peer Support Networks:
Training empowers employees to support one another, creating a peer network that can provide ongoing mental health support & reduces the stigma around mental health across teams.

🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃
👻Stay Safe & Have Fun!💀

Here are some tips to keep your goblins & ghouls safe.

1. Children should trick or treat in one well-known area and not wander into unknown neighborhoods.
2. All candy should be inspected by an adult to make sure that no one has tampered with it. If it looks suspicious, the police should be contacted.
3. Children should watch for moving vehicles when crossing streets.
4. Costumes should be short enough that the child will not trip.
5. Tell your children to stay in well-lit areas and only visit homes with outside lights turned on.
6. If giving out candy, ensure your walkway is well-lit, and remove any tripping hazards.
7. Children should be accompanied by an adult, until old enough to go with friends.

Mental Health & Mental Illness: What's the difference?
Mental health and mental illness are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.
“Mental health” is a concept similar to “physical health”: it refers to a state of well-being.

Mental health includes our emotions, feelings of connection to others, our thoughts and feelings, and being able to manage life’s highs and lows.

The presence or absence of a mental illness is not a predictor of mental health; someone without a mental illness could have poor mental health, just as a person with a mental illness could have excellent mental health.

Everyone has mental health and will experience challenges regarding their mental well-being, but not everyone will experience a mental illness.

Mental illness indirectly affects all Canadians at some time either through their own experience, or that of a family member, friend or colleague.

In any given year, 1 in 5 people in Canada will personally experience a mental health problem or illness.

Bystander CPR improves survival. ❤️

The location of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA) most often occurs in homes/residences (73.4%), followed by public settings (16.3%), and nursing homes (10.3%).

If performed immediately, CPR can double or triple the chance of survival from an out of hospital cardiac arrest.
