Construction accident. Cause and prevention
One of the common problem in construction site and the most phrone in accident are : knowledge ,ignorance , lack of self control ,unsafe act, and lazyness.
If we were talking about knowledge
-, why is it a problem , a simple answer ,knowledge is power ,you don't have knowledge about what were you doing it will lead you to accident why ?
A simple explanation it will lead you to accident , like for example if you are laborer , if you don't have knowledge on how and a proper position to carry an heavy baggage . It leads you to break your spinal cord that leads you to paralyzed and the worst is death.
"Ignoraance"
-some and most common accidents happened in construction site (example: ignorant person who's working on machine while using it lead him to accident like wound, broken bones , and death.
" lack of Self control"
- being lacked of self control leads you to accident or death.
(Example: if a person doing or horse playing with you . It's because you lost self control ,you punched him or her and the worst if a person you punched with is lacking of self control also , it leads to ramble or riots on site.
"Unsafe act"
- this are the workers who always doing horseplay on work. This worker also have a hard headed person ,they didn't always follows the rules and they didint used the proper ppe. This worker always using shortcut.

-this are the people who were always gossiping, always murmuring, always avoiding worked. They were the one who's mindset is close ,and they were nothing a goal in life as long as they were time in and paid, but always prone to danger even though it's hazardous area they were avoiding cleaning and prone to danger of falling debris because of hiding.
"Precautions and prevention"
-proper ppe, awareness, self esteem , goal in life, cleanliness, obedience, patience, love of thier work, proper knowledge.
"Proper ppe"
-using proper ppe is the best way to prevent danger and accident,(gloves for the hands, long sleeve for the body, long pants for the legs , shoes for the feet, goggles 🥽 for the eyes, helmet for the head, and reflector for over all) by using and wearing ppe avoids 90% prevention of accidents in my opinion.
"Awareness"
- awareness this worker always using there 6 senses( sense of touch, sense of smell, sense taste, sense sight,. Sense of hearing specialty sense of mind) these worker always using thier presence of mind. 80% of accidents avoidable, in my own opinion.
"Self esteem"
- this people having a goal in life, focused on there job.
"Goal in life"
-this worker having goal in life and good mindset they always think that they arrived at worked complete and they want to go home complete.
"Cleanliness"
- cleanliness is the number 1 prevention of having accident on site, these factor affect the mindset of a worker it calm the heart and mind of a worker. 90% effeciency of productions.
95% of accident avoidable in my own opinion.
"Obedience"
-being obedient avoids the conflict of each worker.
"Love of there work"
-loving your work is one of the common factor of each worker to avoid conflict and and accidents happened on site. 85% effeciency of productions, 90% of accident avoidable in my own opinion.
"Proper knowledge"

One-piece an old anime until recent.
Im one of the 90's ever since when I was a child. I always loved watching this kind of anime even though it's an old fashioned untill recent I always watched it .
I remembered in year 1997 , and the clock is ticking when the short arm pointed in 8:00 and the long one pointed in 12:00 ,it was filmed in the gma 7 I loved to watch it , even though my family didn't own a television to watch .
That feeling that you were excited to watch ,one of my strategy is when i climed on a guava tree to peek on the window on one of my neighbor , to watched it , sometimes my neighbor closed their window ,their door , I must find. A way when the clock is ticking ,when the short arm pointed on 8: and long one pointed on 6 : 00 that I won't lose hope , but sometimes I lost hoped .
I remembered when I first saw one-piece I remember everything on episode 1 when "Luffy and shanks" saw each other at that time "red haired shanks" is a "captain of red haired pirates" at that time when the bandits showed in the bar where luffy and Shanks saw each other. When shanks gave a bottle of liquor to bandits , then the bandits angered he throws it to shanks ,and even crazier he slashed the plates to made a mess on that bar . Just to let down shanks the pirate captain of red haired pirates , when the bandits disappeared on that bar shanks lough at it ,and they didn't noticed that luffy ate the gum.x fruit.
That was my firstime saw the "onepiece "
Correct me if I'm wrong , bout my grammar and my writting this is just my firstime to write my thoughts... Thanks for reading
