Throughout our lives, we spend a lot of time at work. We instinctively look to develop friendships at work in which we feel respected and trusted. Having a best friend at work can help employees feel more engaged — and with best friends, teams will be more likely to see a positive impact on business results. It’s simple: People with friends at work are happier at work.
Earthquakes can happen anytime and in many places. But some areas are more prone to earthquakes. If you live in such a location, know what to do when the shaking starts.
DROP to the ground.
Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table.
HOLD ON until the shaking stops.
If you’re outside during an earthquake, stay outside and move away from buildings, trees, streetlights and power lines.
If you must exit a building after an earthquake, use the stairs, not the elevator.
After the shaking stops, check for injuries before assisting others.
Following these tips won’t prevent property damage but it could save your life.
And that’s smart safety!

Ergonomics is about designing and arranging tasks, work spaces, controls, displays, tools, lighting and equipment so people can use them easily and safely. The goal of ergonomics is to reduce stress and eliminate musculoskeletal disorders associated with the overuse of muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Ergonomics adapts the job and the work environment to eliminate twisting, reaching, bending, lifting and working with vibrating equipment and other repetitive motions.
