It feels like I become new again. When I saw my son was born, I knew I am a different person now. I have a family: my husband, my son, and me. I really happy my sacrifice has a good result. My baby was born perfectly. He has two eyes, one nose, ten fingers, and two legs. I was crying when I saw my baby for the first time after the struggle between life and death for about 4 hours. But thanks to people who gave advices.
My first trisemester was the important time, between me and the baby. If I work too much, I will lose it, but thanks to God, I still have it. All the superstitions about pregnancy and baby made me confused. You have to do this,, dont eat that food! and anything else. Sometimes I dont want to eat anything because the food is not in the list of Dos and Donts. But thank to you who gave baby advice to me. Until the ninth month of my pregnancy, the baby and I are healthy.
The childbirth was the moment that made me scared. I want in the normal way although I know it would be dangerous for me. But I think if I do in the normal, not in Caesar, I feel like become the real mom. I give thank to the doctors and nurses in the hospital where I stay now because they took care of me and helped me. Now, I want to give my son all my love. Hope hell be a good person in the future.

It is an object that is used to help relieve stress by exercising the muscles in the hand.
This is a soft, supple toy made out of a soft material and is usually not more than 7 centimetres in diameter. There are many types, and most of them are made of closed-cell polyurethane foam rubber. The ball is made by injecting the liquid components of the foam into a mould. It main features is that it can fit in the hand easily, allowing a user to squeeze it out of shape while providing some resistance to force the muscles of the hand to work.
The Stress Balls used for physical therapy contains gel of different densities inside a rubber of cloth skin. Another type uses a thin rubber membrane with a fine powder. This final type can also be made at home by filling a balloon with baking soda.
Even though they are known as a ball, it need not be always spherical and take the form of a ball. They are also available in a variety of shapes, even as toys and are commonly used as a business promotional product in the shape of company’s logo etc.
Statistics shows that this is third most popular promotional gift in the United Kingdom; given as a freebie at conferences and other corporate events.
Stress Balls are also very popularly and useful for mental stress relief; it helps by giving people a tool with which they can work out physical aggression and stress. It is frequently recommended at a stress management tool for those working in demanding jobs.
Just as they are useful for emotional strain, these balls are also useful for solve physical tension too. Physiotherapists use simple devices to help people bend, loosen and stretch the muscles in their hands. The use of one of these balls can reduce the amount of strain that is caused by continuous tasks like typing, and it also helps to develop hand strength. For patients who have experienced strokes and other neurological problems, Stress Balls can be used as a physiotherapy exercise to help these patients recover his/her hand and finger mobility.
Any type of fillings can be used for these types of balls. The main feature of these fillings is that it should be firm, with a slight softness to it, forcing the people to work to deform the ball. The best for this is foam, as in gel, or a powder enclosed in a latex packet. A basic ball that is used for stress is by filling a balloon with corn starch. Another choice is to make a bag with bean seeds or plastic granules – but these fillings are less smooth.
Using Stress Balls doesn’t require any special technique – all you need to do is to pick the ball up and squeeze it.

No matter what market sector or type of organisation they work in, many employees face manual handling tasks on a daily basis, as do people going about their ordinary lives. If manual handling tasks are performed incorrectly, they lead to a huge amount of distress and pain to individuals and can result in massive disruption to both the workplace and home life, sometimes on a lifelong basis. While not necessarily responsible for all manual handling injuries, the workplace is likely to be directly affected by them in terms of employee sickness, absence from work, time off for the treatment of injuries, and staff working below their optimal level of competency. Employers may also face possible fines and court cases, with a potential detrimental effect on their reputation. Outside of work, simple chores such as wrongly lifting heavy luggage when going on holiday, or laying paving stones in the garden, can lead to injury and pain, but tasks such as these are often performed without forethought even though they can impact home life in a big way, such as people being unable to drive, do the shopping or take the kids to school. Manual handling is not simply lifting and carrying pushing, pulling, moving, lowering or restraining objects or persons, using bodily force to pull a lever, and operating power tools, are all covered by the term, which can also include simple walking up and down stairs carrying something. Facts and figures Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common cause of occupational ill-health, affecting one million people per year and costing society 5.7 billion a year, according to the TUC. Lower back injuries are the most frequent, suffered by 300,000 people a year, but other muscle groups, limbs, tendons and joints are involved in manual handling and may also be affected. In fact, more than a third of injuries of over three days duration reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) involve manual handling. This is only the tip of the iceberg, as many more injuries go unreported, including those that occur outside of working hours, such as from DIY, responsible for over 200,000 injuries a year, bad posture, perhaps resulting from incorrect chair height in front of the home computer, gardening, and sports injuries such as from playing rugby, football, golf or tennis. Importance of training Despite these appalling statistics, a third of companies do not provide manual handling training to their employees when they start their employment, according to Julian Roberts, managing director of Safety Media, a company that launched a dedicated manual handling website in October last year. Since its launch, the site has received over 6,700 visitors and has clocked up 20,450 page views, demonstrating the level of concern over the safety of manual handling. We recommend that training should be undertaken at the start of the role, so that incidents dont happen in the early stages of employment, and that the training should be reviewed regularly, says Roberts. Legislation and duties A plethora of legislation governs manual handling, chiefly the Manual Handling Regulations 1992, but it is also covered by the HSWA 1974, the Management Regulations 1999, PUWER 1998, RIDDOR 1995, and the Workplace Regulations 1992. The employer should steer clear of the need for manual handling wherever possible to minimise the risk of injury to workers. If manual handling activities are unavoidable, they should conduct risk assessments to identify potential hazards, looking at the task, who is doing it, how often it is done, the type of load and the environment it is undertaken in. Employees for their part should help themselves to avoid manual handling injuries by using good lifting techniques, following safe systems of work, using any safety equipment provided, and informing their employer of any identified hazards. They should avoid putting others at risk and also try to avoid injuries outside of work. Risk assessments Safety Medias website offers a free online audit of current manual handling procedures, the results of which show that employees had to undertake tasks which required repetitive twisting, stooping or reaching by in 78 per cent of companies, yet only 65 per cent completed risk assessments for all manual handling activities. It is a legal requirement to assess the risks of manual handling tasks, says Roberts, and the results should then be communicated to your employees so they can act accordingly. Prevention So what should employers be doing to improve the prevention of manual handling injuries? Careful thought should be given before undertaking any manual handling activity, wherever it takes place. Training in correct manual handling procedures is vital, and relevant for both work and home life any training received in the workplace should be applied at home too, where equipment instructions should always be followed, and good practice followed. E-learning is an excellent, cost-effective way of training large numbers of staff in correct manual handling, and this can be augmented by the use of targeted DVDs, interactive CDROMS, and relevant software. The use of forethought is also important, in considering whether moving something is really necessary. Could some tasks be automated? Could handling aids be used? These need to be thought about before manual handling of any kind is attempted. According to our audit, 31 per cent of employees were at significant risk of injury from carrying out manual handling activities. Controls must be put in place to reduce the risk of injury, Roberts urges. Ninety per cent of those who took the audit said they did have lifting aids available to assist staff when manually lifting loads, although only 82 per cent had provided their employees with training on how to use them, but there is no point in having lifting aids if they are not used, he adds. Conclusion The importance of correct manual handling, both at home and at work, cannot be underestimated, and simple steps can be taken to review arrangements to avoid the suffering caused by manual handling injuries. The law is very clear and there is much guidance, help and information available, so there is no excuse for ignoring manual handling issues. This is even more important in the current economic downturn, where cutbacks could lead to more inadequately risk-assessed maintenance tasks being carried out by untrained employees. Roberts concludes: Organisations must provide a safe working environment for their employees to undertake manual handling activities. They should provide suitable training and encourage their employees to openly discuss with management any issues they may have with tasks they have to perform.

The current financial climate is causing headaches for many UK and global organisations, and it looks as though the UK economy could be in for a rough ride for the foreseeable future. The credit crunch appears to be tightening its grip, inflation is rising sharply, fuel and other costs are spiralling, and business confidence faltering. In order to tackle this uncertain situation, budgets are likely to be squeezed, and it is tempting to see training as an easy target for cutbacks, not least the health and safety training budget. However, this is a false economy. If an employee were injured or even killed through lack of training, this could result in prosecution, a large fine or even imprisonment under the recent Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. According to HSE statistics, 228 people were killed at work in 2007/08, 34 of them in manufacturing, and nearly half a million people were injured while at work. Thirty-six million working days were lost, 30 million due to work-related ill health and 6 million due to workplace injury. Legislation The HSE states that employers have a duty to provide information, instruction, training and supervision and make sure all their workers can understand it. This, coupled with the ever-increasing burden of UK and EU health and safety legislation, means there is an escalating need for training rather than the reverse, to ensure compliance and avoid penalty. The implications of the Corporate Manslaughter Act, under which organisations can be found guilty of corporate manslaughter as a result of serious management failures resulting in a gross breach of a duty of care, are not yet always well understood by employers, making health and safety awareness training even more vital for business. Providing health and safety information is essential to maintain a good safety culture within an organisation, so that safety is upmost in the minds of workers, and they feel well cared for by their employer. And ultimately, giving successful training can save the employer money. Delivery When weighing up the training needs of the organisation, factors such as the expected outcome from the training, the people who need to be trained, the effectiveness of the training currently provided, the available training budget and the types of training needed, all need to be examined. Employers should consider the most appropriate method of training delivery. Should you opt for traditional, or more cutting-edge, training? How does it fit with the organisation and how are you going to get the message across in the timeline you want? Traditional health and safety training delivery may encompass in-house or off-site training, on a one-to-one basis or in groups or seminars. This type of training can be very expensive, but things have moved on, and newer methods offer an attractive alternative. According to Safety Media, traditional training in each health and safety subject costs the employer at least 50 per person, but it can cost as little as 50 pence per person if e-learning, or online training, is used. However, even though it costs less, the quality of the training is not compromised. E-learning has developed enormously in recent years after a relatively slow start ten years ago, and is an increasingly important method of training, owing to almost universal access to the internet. Incorporating many interactive features and deliverable in any number of different languages, e-learning is now widely regarded as a mainstream training method, integrated into the training strategy of an increasing number of organisations. E-learning is becoming more and more necessary because of the growing mobility of busy workers and geographic diversity of organisations’ sites. The benefits of online training include speed, efficiency, cost, convenience and interactivity. Employees find it flexible and engaging, and enjoy the control it gives them over their own learning programmes. Employers, for their part, discover e-learning delivers sizeable cost and time savings, as well as effective staff training. The software can be installed on the organisation’s intranet, or it can be hosted by the supplier on its own web portal. This means training can be provided not only to end users who have direct access to a PC, but also those who do not have use of a PC at work, such as warehouse, factory, and sales staff. Group training sessions can be organised for these users, using handsets that interact with the trainer. Because modules can be accessed when travelling or at home, as well as at work, e-learning therefore reduces employee down-time. Conclusion Health and safety training should never be overlooked during financial downturns, as doing this could have disastrous consequences and make matters worse. Health and safety training by e-learning can not only save money compared with traditional training, but it can provide high-quality and effective instruction to ensure that all employees are fully up to speed with this vital issue.
