Many of the world’s cities are sited along coasts. Storm surges currently create flooding of low-lying parts of many of these cities, which impacts the health and safety of those living in these areas—in low-income settings, it is most notably the poor and marginalised. Sea level rise due to climate change is projected to exacerbate these disruptive events, making them more frequent and more damaging.

Giving Safety Talks A Guide For The Construction Sector
Introduction and Importance
Biohazardous infectious material contains organisms that can cause diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, and Salmonella in humans or animals. These materials are usually found in hospitals and laboratories. However, you could! nd them at work. Universal Precautions are guidelines to help protect you from exposure to infectious diseases spread by blood or body fluids.
Consequences
Biohazardous infectious materials can cause AIDS, hepatitis, or other diseases. 157 disabling injury claims took place in 2007 – primarily in the Health Care profession. Procedure/Practice
If your work requires you to handle biohazardous infectious materials, ask your supervisor for training so you understand the hazards, roles, responsibilities, and regulations you are to follow. Wear the proper PPE as every tissue or fluid is to be considered dangerous. Make sure you have a tetanus immunization every 10 years. Trash bins in the Health & Safety department may contain infectious materials. Be careful in this area.

Safety Guide For Work In Manholes
Introduction
Working near or in a manhole inherits potential dangers which may result in serious accidents. The common ones include falls/slips, fire or explosion, oxygen depletion, gas poisoning, heat stress, drowning, asphyxiation arising from gas, fume, vapor, and entrapment by free-flowing solid. Amongst these, dangers involving gases are easily overlooked or neglected, leading to serious casualties. This guide aims to remind persons entering or working in a manhole to take appropriate measures, including measures for the prevention of oxygen depletion and gas poisoning. ‘‘Certified workers’’ (Note 1) must be familiar with the ‘Code of Practice – Safety and Health at Work in Confined Spaces, and before entering a manhole, they must take all the necessary safety precautions to ensure safety at work

Process Safety Management (PSM)
This standard contains requirements for preventing or minimizing the consequences of catastrophic releases of chemicals that are:
- Toxic,
– Reactive,
– Flammable,
– Explosive
▪ These releases may result in toxic, fire, or explosion hazards
▪ A number of catastrophic accidents have occurred resulting in loss of life and great property damage.
