A SMS provides a systematic way to identify hazards and control risks while maintaining assurance that these risk controls are effective SMS can be defined as:

..a businesslike approach to safety. It is a systematic, explicit and comprehensive process for managing safety risks. As with all management systems, a safety management system provides for goal setting, planning, and measuring performa

nce. A safety management system is woven into the fabric of an organization. It becomes part of the culture, the way people do their jobs. For the purposes of defining safety management, safety can be defined as:

.. the reduction of risk to a level that is as low as is reasonably practicable. There are three imperatives for adopting a safety management system for a business – these are ethical, legal and financial. There is an implied moral obligation placed on an employer to ensure that work activities and the place of work to be safe, there are legislative requirements defined in just about every jurisdiction on how this is to be achieved and there is a substantial body of research which shows that effective safety management (which is the reduction of risk in the workplace) can reduce the financial exposure of an organisation by reducing direct and indirect costs associated with accident and incidents. To address these three important elements, an effective SMS should:
Define how the organisation is set up to manage risk. Identify workplace risk and implement suitable controls. Implement effective communications across all levels of the organisation. Implement a process to identify and correct non-conformities. Implement a continual improvement process. A safety management system can be created to fit any business type and/or industry sector. Basic safety-management components

International Labour Organization SMS model

Since there are many models to choose from to outline the basic components of a safety management system, the one chosen here is the international standard promoted by the International Labour Organization (ILO). In the ILO document ILO-OSH 2001 Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems, the safety management basic components are:
Policy
Organizing
Planning and implementation
Evaluation
Action for improvement

Although other SMS models use different terminology, the process and workflow for safety management systems are usually similar;
1.Policy – Establish within policy statements what the requirements are for the organization in terms of resources, defining management commitment and defining OSH targets
2.Organizing – How is the organization structured, where are responsibilities and accountabilities defined, who reports to who and who is responsible for what.
3.Planning and Implementation – What legislation and standards apply to our organization, what OSH objectives are defined and how are these reviews, hazard prevention and the assessment and management of risk.
4.Evaluation – How is OSH performance measured and assessed, what are the processes for the reporting of accidents and incidents and for the investigation of accidents and what internal and external audit processes are in place to review the system.
5.Action for Improvement – How are preventative and corrective actions managed and what processes are in place to ensure the continual improvement process. There is a significant amount of detail within each of these sections and these should be examined in detail from the ILO-OSH Guidelines document. Safety Stack | Safety Management System Framework Project Model[edit]

Since most of the SMS solutions in the U.S. are specifically designed for the aviation industry; non-aviation independent projects are underway such as The Safety Stack | Safety Management System Framework Project, which was developed originally as an open source project that aids small businesses and organizations establish a base SMS framework. Frameworks such as this are designed to improve the way practitioners manage occupational safety & health and assist in complying with ever increasing safety & health regulatory standards. The Safety Stack SMS "Framework" is composed of the following key elements:
Safety Administration
Safety Policy, Programs, Procedures Manual
Safety Orientation
Safety Training
Safety Meetings
Safety Inspections
Safety Incidents
Safety Standards
Safety Handbook
Safety Miscellaneous

Non-aviation industry organizations in the U.S. find this open source, general purpose, SMS framework highly useful in the development of their own unique safety management systems since it can be downloaded, edited, extended & used freely.

Today Topic: Drowning

•Someone is drowning


1. Get Help
•Notify a lifeguard, if one is close. If not, ask someone to call 911.

•If you are alone, follow the steps below.

2. Move the Person
•Take the person out of the water.

3. Check for Breathing
•Place your ear next to the person's mouth and nose. Do you feel air on your cheek?
•Look to see if the person's chest is moving.

4. If the Person is Not Breathing, Check Pulse
•Check the person's pulse for 10 seconds.

5. If There is No Pulse, Start CPR

Carefully place person on back.
•For an adult or child, place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest at the ni**le line. You can also push with one hand on top of the other. For an infant, place two fingers on the breastbone.
•For an adult or child, press down about 2 inches. Make sure not to press on ribs. For an infant , press down about 1 and 1/2 inches. Make sure not to press on the end of the breastbone.
•Do 30 chest compressions, at the rate of 100 per minute or more. Let the chest rise completely between pushes.
•Check to see if the person has started breathing.

Note that these instructions are not meant to replace CPR training. Classes are available through the American Red Cross, local hospitals, and other organizations.

6. Repeat if Person Is Still Not Breathing
•If you've been trained in CPR, you can now open the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the chin.
•Pinch the nose of the victim closed. Take a normal breath, cover the victim's mouth with yours to create an airtight seal, and then give 2 one-second breaths as you watch for the chest to rise.
•Give 2 breaths followed by 30 chest compressions.
•Continue this cycle of 30 compressions and 2 breaths until the person starts breathing or emergency help arrives.

Today's Topic: Infant First Aid for Chocking

Choking

Step 1: Assess the situation quickly.

If a baby is suddenly unable to cry or cough, something is probably blocking her airway, and you'll need to help her get it out. She may make odd noises or no sound at all while opening her mouth. Her skin may turn bright red or blue.

If she's coughing or gagging, it means her airway is only partially blocked. If that's the case, let her continue to cough. Coughing is the most effective way to dislodge a blockage.

If the baby isn't able to cough up the object, ask someone to call 911 or the local emergency number while you begin back blows and chest thrusts (see step 2, below).

If you're alone with the baby, give two minutes of care, then call 911.

On the other hand, if you suspect that the baby's airway is closed because her throat has swollen shut, call 911 immediately. She may be having an allergic reaction – to food or to an insect bite, for example – or she may have an illness, such as croup.

Also call 911 right away if the baby is at high risk for heart problems.

Step 2: Try to dislodge the object with back blows and chest thrusts.

First do back blows

If a baby is conscious but can't cough, cry, or breathe and you believe something is trapped in his airway, carefully position him faceup on one forearm, cradling the back of his head with that hand.

Place the other hand and forearm on his front. He is now sandwiched between your forearms.

Use your thumb and fingers to hold his jaw and turn him over so that he's facedown along the other forearm. Lower your arm onto your thigh so that the baby's head is lower than his chest.

Using the heel of your hand, deliver five firm and distinct back blows between the baby's shoulder blades to try to dislodge the object. Maintain support of his head and neck by firmly holding his jaw between your thumb and forefinger.

Next, place your free hand (the one that had been delivering the back blows) on the back of the baby's head with your arm along his spine. Carefully turn him over while keeping your other hand and forearm on his front.

Then do chest thrusts

Use your thumb and fingers to hold his jaw while sandwiching him between your forearms to support his head and neck. Lower your arm that is supporting his back onto your opposite thigh, still keeping the baby's head lower than the rest of his body.

Place the pads of two or three fingers in the center of the baby's chest, just below an imaginary line running between his ni**les. To do a chest thrust, push straight down on the chest about 1 1/2 inches. Then allow the chest to come back to its normal position.

Do five chest thrusts. Keep your fingers in contact with the baby's breastbone. The chest thrusts should be smooth, not jerky.

Repeat back blows and chest thrusts

Continue alternating five back blows and five chest thrusts until the object is forced out or the baby starts to cough forcefully, cry, or breathe on his own. If he's coughing, let him try to cough up the object.

If the baby becomes unconscious

If a baby who is choking on something becomes unconscious, you'll need to do what's called modified CPR. Here's how to do modified CPR on a baby:

Open his mouth and look for an object. If you can see an object, remove it with your little finger.

Give him two rescue breaths. If the air doesn't go in (you don't see his chest rise), tilt his head and try two rescue breaths again.

If his chest still doesn't rise, do 30 chest compressions.

Look in his mouth and remove the object if you see it. Give him two more rescue breaths.

Repeat the chest compressions and so on, until help arrives.

How to perform CPR

What is CPR?

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This is the lifesaving measure you can take to save a baby who shows no signs of life (consciousness or effective breathing).

CPR uses chest compressions and "rescue" breaths to make oxygen-rich blood circulate through the brain and other vital organs until emergency medical personnel arrive. Keeping oxygenated blood circulating helps prevent brain damage – which can occur within a few minutes – and death.

CPR isn't hard to do. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Check the baby's condition.

Is the baby conscious? Flick her foot or gently tap on her shoulder and call out. If she doesn't respond, have someone call 911 or the local emergency number. (If you're alone with the baby, give two minutes of care as described below, then call 911 yourself.)

Swiftly but gently place the baby on her back on a firm, flat surface.

Make sure she isn't bleeding severely. If she is, take measures to stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the area. Don't administer CPR until the bleeding is under control.

Step 2: Open the baby's airway.

Tilt the baby's head back with one hand and lift his chin slightly with the other. (You don't have to tilt a baby's head back very far to open the airway.)

Check for signs of breathing for no more than ten seconds.

To check for breathing in a baby, put your head down next to his mouth, looking toward his feet. Look to see whether his chest is rising, and listen for breathing sounds. If he's breathing, you should be able to feel his breath on your cheek.

Step 3: Give two gentle "rescue" breaths.

If the baby isn't breathing, give her two little breaths, each lasting just one second. Cover the baby's nose and mouth with your mouth and gently exhale into her lungs only until you see her chest rise, pausing between rescue breaths to let the air flow back out.

Remember that a baby's lungs are much smaller than yours, so it takes much less than a full breath to fill them. Breathing too hard or too fast can force air into the baby's stomach.

If her chest doesn't rise, her airway is blocked. Give her first aid for choking, described above.

Step 4: Do 30 chest compressions.

With the baby still lying on his back, place the pads of two or three fingers in the center of his chest, just below an imaginary line running between his ni**les.

With the pads of your fingers on that spot, compress the chest about 1 1/2 inches. Push straight down. Compressions should be smooth, not jerky.

Do 30 chest compressions at the rate of 100 per minute. Count out loud: "One and two and three and...", pushing down as you say the number and coming up as you say "and." (The song Staying Alive is the right rate!)

When you complete 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths (step 3, above). (Each cycle of chest compressions and rescue breaths should take about 24 seconds.)

Step 5: Repeat compressions and breaths.

Repeat the sequence of 30 compressions and two breaths. If you're alone with the baby, call 911 or the local emergency number after two minutes of care.

Continue the sequence of compressions and breaths until help arrives, you find an obvious sign of life, an AED (automated external defibrillator) is ready to use, the scene becomes unsafe, or you are too exhausted to continue.

Even if the baby seems fine by the time help arrives, a doctor will need to check her to make sure that her airway is completely clear and she hasn't sustained any internal injuries.

Today Topic Power Drill Safety Tips:

When it comes to using power tools, a little knowledge goes a long way toward preventing injuries and prolonging the life of your tools. If you frequently use a power drill in your home improvement or automotive projects, you may know the basics of drill safety already. Below are some power drill safety tips that will help you protect yourself and your tools. Some of them may seem new or just a good safety refresher.


Power Drill Safety:
Avoid baggy clothing. Loose sleeves, jewelry and hair can be a hazard when you are operating a power drill. The spinning action of a cordless drill can catch and tangle any loose objects. While operating any power tools, wear short sleeves, forgo jewelry and tie your hair back if necessary.

Wear protective gear. Safety goggles are always a good idea when using a power drill. You may also want to use a breathing mask if the material you're drilling produces a lot of dust or shavings. Gloves can help protect your hands, but only if they are form-fitting and not baggy. Loose gloves can get caught in the drill.

Secure your work piece. You don't want the wood or metal piece you are working on to shift while you're drilling. Clamp the work piece down or secure it in a vice before applying the power drill to it.

Drill pilot holes. It's much easier to insert a screw into a pre-drilled pilot hole in a piece of wood. Your holes tend to be straighter, too. Plus, you'll have to apply less pressure to the power drill as the screw goes in, reducing the chances you'll slip.

Use a drill stand. A drill stand acts as a guide or a frame for your power drill. You can use a stand when drilling harder materials, like metal or glass, or when straight holes are absolutely crucial. A stand prevents the power drill from slipping and scratching the work piece as well.

Properly set the drill bit. Make sure the drill bit is properly inserted into the chuck and tighten it firmly with the chuck key. With a loose bit, your power drill won't make straight holes and could slip.

Use a center punch to start holes. A center punch makes an indentation on the wood, giving your power drill a target for starting perfect holes and avoiding slippage.

Apply proper pressure to the drill. Your power drill should do most of the work, so don't apply too much force. If you push too hard, you the power drill can slip or you can strain the motor.

Safety Tip: Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide safety tips



Safety Tip

Often called the invisible killer, carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel can be sources of carbon monoxide.

•CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound.
•Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for placement and mounting height.
•Choose a CO alarm that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.
•Call your local fire department’s non-emergency number to find out what number to call if the CO alarm sounds.
•Test CO alarms at least once a month; replace them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
•If the audible trouble signal sounds, check for low batteries. If the battery is low, replace it. If it still sounds, call the fire department.
•If the CO alarm sounds, immediately move to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door. Make sure everyone inside the home is accounted for. Call for help from a fresh air location and stay there until emergency personnel.
•If you need to warm a vehicle, remove it from the garage immediately after starting it. Do not run a vehicle or other fueled engine or motor indoors, even if garage doors are open. Make sure the exhaust pipe of a running vehicle is not covered with snow.

•During and after a snowstorm, make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace are clear of snow build-up.
•A generator should be used in a well-ventilated location outdoors away from windows, doors and vent openings.
•Gas or charcoal grills can produce CO — only use outside.

Urgent Topic: Preventing Heat - Stroke

Hi everyone, the heat is high today and for some kids its even worse, please remember sun block with at least a SPF 50 for kids and babies and adults, see below some Preventing methods for heat stroke.

The best defense is prevention. Here are some prevention tips:
•Photo of athlete drinking water. Drink more fluids (nonalcoholic), regardless of your activity level. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. Warning: If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask him how much you should drink while the weather is hot.
•Don’t drink liquids that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar–these actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Also, avoid very cold drinks, because they can cause stomach cramps.
•Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library–even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat. Call your local health department to see if there are any heat-relief shelters in your area.
•Electric fans may provide comfort, but when the temperature is in the high 90s, fans will not prevent heat-related illness. Taking a cool shower or bath, or moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off.
•Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
•NEVER leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle.
•Although any one at any time can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others. Check regularly on: ◦Infants and young children
◦People aged 65 or older
◦People who have a mental illness
◦Those who are physically ill, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure

•Visit adults at risk at least twice a day and closely watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Infants and young children, of course, need much more frequent watching.

If you must be out in the heat:
•Photo of woman relaxing in the shade. Limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours.
•Cut down on exercise. If you must exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalcoholic fluids each hour. A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat. Warning: If you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor before drinking a sports beverage. Remember the warning in the first “tip” (above), too.
•Try to rest often in shady areas.
