Correct manual handling is not just for boxes.
Remember whatever you need to pick up, bending your knees and not your back will keep you fitter for longer.

It is so easy to get involved in a task without thinking of the risks. How many can you spot? (Until I mentioned it the workman was actually standing on the top step of his ladder).

Are you aware of the dangers of lithium-ion batteries? Read on to find out more:
Earbud explosion
Ian, 57, a customer assistant from the Isle of Wight, was at home when his Bluetooth earbuds exploded. He said: “I was charging my headphones next to me on the sofa and, without realising, accidentally plugged them in using an incorrect charger. The light didn’t illuminate properly, but I still thought they were charging.”
He continued: “After about five minutes, the headphones started smoking and, within seconds, both the headphones and the battery case exploded. The metal and plastic from the headphones then melted to the sofa and set it ablaze.”
In conclusion, he observed: “Luckily, I was able to put the flames out, but I had a shock and have been left with a burn hole in my sofa. I dread to think what would have happened if I had been asleep or wasn’t present in the property. There’s no doubt that the sofa and house would have gone up in flames.”
Make sure you always use the correct charger and remove from charge as soon as the device is charged. Never leave on charge while you are out.

What is a cardiac arrest?

Today I was reading about a 13-year-old boy, Jack, whose heart stopped whilst he was on holiday in Majorca. How devastating to have a family holiday change in an instant, and even more so to find that he will need some operations before he can be flown home.
Whilst he did have a pre-existing heart murmur, that doesn’t make it any less traumatic and funding the treatment is even more so.

A cardiac arrest is when a person’s heart suddenly stops pumping blood around their body and can be mistaken for a heart attack, which is when the blood supply to the heart muscle is cut off. According to the British Heart Foundation, more than 30,00 people’s hearts stop when they are not in hospital every year.

This is why it is so important that people engage in CPR training and know how to use a defibrillator, it can make all the difference. For more information on training, call 02477 752772.
