1. First of all have you considered eating less. Seriously, this is one of the quickest ways to lose weight. The key is to do this gradually. Some people go to the wrong extreme and think not eating at all is the answer. Then when they go off their “diet” they quickly gain back all the weight they have lost. You are better to slowly cut back on what you eat and make this a life long change if possible.

2. At the fear of stating the obvious one of the quickest ways to lose weight is to cut out junk food. Chips, soda pop, candy and so on. These are all high in calories. When we said gradually cut back the amount of food you eat, we were not talking about junk foods. This you should cut out 100%. Learn to love fruit instead.

3. The last quick weight loss tips I want to give you is start exercising a little bit. You may notice a loss in inches before you notice a loss in weight when you first start exercising. This can vary depending on how much overweight you are. Do not over do it at first, but do be consistent. Walking even 10-15 minutes a day can do wonders for your health and in helping you lose weight. Weight loss will occur, stick to it and you’ll lose weight fast!

 Lockout tags and procedures are set in place at many business’s to prevent injuries. The emergency stop button is not good enough when working on the machine. The term “emergency” says it all. This button or shut off should be used in case of emergencies where an employee would have to shut off the machine quickly. Lockout tags are to be used when any work is being done on a machine to eliminate any chance of injury due to the machine being started up. Lockout tags are designed so that the employee working on the machine locks it out and places the key in their pocket. Only the person who locks out the machine is allowed to remove it. This eliminates any chance of the machine suddenly starting up.

In many cases companies try and take shortcuts to eliminate downtime and increased costs in production but in all actuality they could be increasing costs when an employee becomes injured as a result of a workplace accident on the job. If it takes less then 5 seconds to lock it out, then lock it out! It’s not worth the chance especially working with machines where they could easily remove a hand, finger, arm or even take a life. The emergency button is not a full proof solution to prevent accidents at workplaces. This situation that was emailed to me would have been prevented if a lockout tag was used. If companies are worried about an extra few seconds is ridiculous. Safety first! Companies should think ahead of the time it will take to fill out accident reports, take pictures, investigate and additional costs for compensation of an injured employee. The extra few seconds it would have taken to lock out the machine would prevent this extra work and costs.  Employees working at jobs where lockout tags are there, they should be used at all times when working on machines. I don’t know about you but my safety and well being is worth more then any job.

Lockout Tag - Do Not Operate - Proper Safety Protocol

I would advise any companies in Moncton or anywhere not currently following lock out procedures to start using them right away. It just makes sense and even if it’s going to create an additional minute or two to do this, it’s a cost of doing business. Two minutes is not going to break the bank and just might save your company a ton of money in the long run in case of a workplace injury. Work smart, work safe!
