Seat Belts.........



 Seat belts are very important driving tools in preventing accidents.......... Why then do most people drive without using their seat belt?
This really baffles me........

 An average of 11 people are killed daily in road accidents across Nigeria in 2012,official statistics from the Federal Road Safety Corps show. 

 In the 2012 official report titled "DASHBOARD RECORDS FOR THE MONTHS OF 2012" and made available to PREMIUM TIMES, the corps said a total of 4,260 people were killed in accidents across the country in 2012 .

 Thousands of lives are saved each year through the use of seat belts....yet you have to plea with drivers to put them on....
Now i'm moving on to you occupying the passengers seat, you still would not wear one.

 Even on the plane, you scheduled for a flight and you have your 2-point lap belt to put on ....yet the hostesses have to remind some passengers personally even after the blaring instructions from the microphone..........haba!!!!

 In Nigeria, commercial bus drivers do not put on their seat belts because they think  it  could save their lives in the event of an accident ..... rather they do so for fear of the LASTMA Officials... Na Wa Oh!!  The fear of #25,ooo fine is definitely the beginning of wisdom....
 The white man that made the car you driving has carried out series of Crash tests to find safety issues and test solutions to make cars safer and reduce injuries and deaths from car accidents....

 We are yet to start manufacturing our own cars so why don't we just obey simple driving instructions......
 Crash test dummies are used to gather information about the damage that can result from the extreme forces exerted on a body during a violent impact.
Most people are becoming more aware of the need to have their seat belts on........... Thank God!!

 Thanks to our teachers as even children from the ages of 6 and above understand the importance of using a seat belt while driving that they tend to correct the adult seating in the passengers side of the car..... haba!!

 'Uncle could you please put on your seat belts'  ..........such immaculate voice you can't resist ....you tend to have no other choice but to obey.....

 This is my opinion .....do your best in adhering to safe driving instructions by using your seat belts and driving at a minimal speed....

 Drive safe through the weekend! Remember Safety First!!

Manual Handling.......Possible Cause of Backache?

Image
Growing up as a female child ,I was taught to sweep the house bending really low to the ground as I would always recall my mum's constant reminder on the need to sweep the house with the body of the broom and not the tip. A norm common in various homes not just mine..... Backache is a major health issue every where in the world. One third of all work related injuries back ache inclusive is caused by manual handling... Performing house chores and lifting heavy materials at work are one of the many ways through which we can experience these aches. Other ways include improper seating positions at work and sleeping on a rather too soft bed...This is particular important for the aged because as they advance in age ,they require a mattress that would provide all the support for their joints,back and overall body. A good example of such is the Orthopedic Mattress. In performing house chores,vacuum cleaners,long brooms or brushes can be used to avoid bending and twistin...
