Have you considered how little post you get these days?I know most of our post is junk mail, statements and bills, so getting a letter from someone or a card is quite unusual and certainly stands out from the rest of the post.With email being so prolific and fast, it is sometimes easy to forget to remember the power of a hand written note.I love greetings cards and always have a supply ready to send a thank you note or to celebrate a birthday.I have even tried some of the online tools, my favourite being Cardstore which have a truly premium feel to them versus some of the other online card distributors.But what would it take for you to develop your own greetings card that you c
Hazardous Substances, you would think that the name itself would indicate that caution needs to be taken. Then why do so many people have such a lax attitude to managing hazardous substances, risking the health of their employees, friends and family?Have you considered how little post you get these days?I know most of our post is junk mail, statements and bills, so getting a letter from someone or a card is quite unusual and certainly stands out from the rest of the post.With email being so prolific and fast, it is sometimes easy to forget to remember the power of a hand written note.I love greetings cards and always have a supply ready to send a thank you note or to celebrate a birthday.I have even tried some of the online tools, my favourite being Cardstore which have a truly premium feel to them versus some of the other online card distributors.But what would it take for you to develop your own greetings card that you c
When I go to worksites I repeatedly see things which demonstrate that not enough people think much about the hazards involved in hazardous substances:
- Hazardous substances in drink bottles
- Hazardous substances stored in unlabelled containers
- Incompatible substances stored together
- No register of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or stored in no logical order for easy retrieval in an emergency

- Chemwatch or ChemAlert only available to Supervisor’s
- Contractors bringing in hazardous substances with no MSDS
- Different types of Gas Cylinders being stored together
- No bunding to contain spills
