Dear Friends,
 

SaferAmerica would like to thank all the people who contributed through our operation “5 respirators offered to the American Red Cross for every order you place”, to the Tsunami rescue missions in Asia. Our combined efforts can make a difference – lives can be saved and local population’s relief is a sacred task for everyone to conduct.

 

Although the “Patriot Act” and reinforcement of borders since September 2001 have kept the United States safe, continuous tensions in the middle-east, accentuated by the recent explosive situation between Syria and Lebanon, poses a great threat to the safety of local travelers and to the long-lasting appeasement of this region of the world. We cannot predict the chain of events resulting from overseas situations, but we can prepare ourselves, for the best…or the worst.

 

Safer America brings you the best in personal safety products.

Safety Preparedness - At Work: Office Emergency Preparedness

           

 

As either an employee or employer, one must express concern as to whether their workplace is properly prepared for the catastrophic disasters that are predicted by many experts throughout many different regions of North America. The importance lies within the fact that if and when such a disaster occurs, you may be located far away from your friends, family, and home leaving you stuck at work during a time of chaos.

 

It is also important to consider the fact that your office facilities will probably suffer structural damages making them unsafe to occupy. And since most roads and access to roads may be closed or unsafe to drive, you may be stuck outside and in the dark at work for several days if not weeks waiting for conditions to improve...and it won't just be you. The worst mistake you can make in preparing for an emergency is to assume that others will be able to help you. This is simply not true...you must be self-sufficient because emergency personnel will be busy rescuing people who need immediate medical attention.

 

This is why it is so important to have office survival kits and emergency supplies strategically located within the work facilities of you and your loved ones' workplace. If you were to make your office survival kit, you would have to replace the food, water, batteries, etc. every six months.

 

Despite popular misconceptions and myths, these items have a very short shelf life, especially when stored in storage facilities. One thing you definitely don't want during a time of emergency is for someone to get sick from contaminated food or water. That's why Safer America uses specialized survival supplies designed and approved by experts to store safely for use when you need them most.

 

An adequate checklist of items one must have at disposal in case of an emergency could contain the following items:

  • Food & Water rations
  • Emergency Lighting
  • Emergency Radio
  • First Aid Supplies
  • Search & Rescue Equipment
  • Emergency Sanitation Supplies

DID YOU KNOW . . .

 

A serious fire at a nuclear power plant in the mid-1970s revealed shortcomings in fire protection requirements. The plant's fuel was not affected and no one was seriously hurt, but the incident prompted a detailed examination of fire protection practices and led to sweeping changes in the nuclear facilities fire protection regulations.

 

Lessons learned from Browns Ferry fire

On March 22, 1975, workers at the Browns Ferry nuclear plant in northern Alabama were using a candle to check for air leaks at openings in a wall where trays of electrical cables pass from one room to another. As a worker held a candle near one of the openings, the flow of air through it drew the flame toward the polyurethane foam that had recently been installed to seal the openings. The foam ignited and fire spread along the cables, shorting out backup safety systems as the cable insulation burned off.

 

Workers immediately tried to extinguish the fire, without success, and also notified the control room. Shortly afterward, a municipal fire department was called to the scene. Operators manually shut down both units and were able to keep the fuel covered with water and the plant adequately cooled throughout the incident. However, fire fighting efforts were hampered by the limited availability of breathing apparatus and reluctance to use water in electrical equipment areas. The fire was officially declared "out" more than seven hours after it started.

Today, we live surrounded by security items and devices; such apparels are becoming part of our everyday urban landscape. Nobody wishes to ever having to use any of those protection products – but to know they are there “just in case”, that should be everyone’s concern.

 

Have a good week,
