Play It Safe This Month and BeyondWritten by G. Neil Corp.
Seems like there’s a month for everything these days. January was National Mentoring Month. February was Children’s Dental Health Month and National Novel Writing Month started on March 1st. Some might think it is a bit much. But there is one monthly observance that employers should take a particular interest in: National Safety Month, which begins in June. This year’s theme will be "Safety: Where We Live, Work and Play." Consider some examples of what can happen when safety awareness is compromised: An employee tripped over a group of boxes stored in office walkways, causing her to fall and hit her head on edge of a desk. The employee was left with a severe concussion. Obviously, if boxes had simply been moved out of harm’s way, employee probably would have never fallen and been seriously injured.¹ While trying to make electrical repairs to a courthouse, an engineer was suddenly electrocuted. If he had only been careful enough to lock out a circuit before performing repairs, he may had avoided shock.¹
| | Home Décor: Use Feng Shui for Optimum HealthWritten by Mary M. Alward
Feng means wind. Shui means water. For centuries, Chinese have used power of Feng Shui in their homes to promote well being and optimum health. Wind and water react to changing of moon, motion of earth and changing temperatures. Today, Feng Shui is used for modern living and has been adapted to promote good chi (energy.)
Because of limited living space, we sometimes are unable to avoid negative chi. However by moving furniture and experimenting, it’s possible to get most positive flow of wind and water in our environment. Let’s take a look at some things that will cause chi to flow more positively throughout your home. - Never allow shoes or boots to sit outside door of your home. Keep area clean and de-cluttered. The chi can bring sickness into your home if area is dirty or has a lot of clutter in it.
- Have a water source, such as a fountain or fish tank in your home. Chi will search for water in which to stay. If there is none, it will vanish in wind.
- There should be no mirrors in your bedroom. The importance of mirror placement is crucial in your home.
- Keep television sets out of bedroom. The will effect positive chi.
- Place a water fountain in your home and face it toward center of house to attract desires of your life.
- Add a fish tank to room in your house where you and your family spend most time. Water gives chi a place to stay and will bring good fortune into your home if placed correctly.
- Never allow children to sleep on floor. Chi should be able to flow freely under beds and throughout room to keep children healthy.
- Be certain not to place refrigerators, sinks or washing machines directly across room from your stove. Fire and water are not compatible and this will cause negative chi in your kitchen, which leads to arguments and disagreements that will not be resolved.
