RISKY BUSINESS

I read this article on the dangers of having certain summer jobs number one on the list was working at a restaurant, well besides all the obvious dangers of the kitchen there is also the ‘slip and fall’ possibility .in my opinion if you have common sense you won’t have any problems with your job in a restaurant. The second one on the list was ‘retail jobs’ which is working at a store that sells clothes .the dangers about working there are pretty big such as getting robbed, or a customer that needs anger management. The article gave some tips on ‘how to protect your self’ 1. NEVER WORK ALONE2. Lift with your legs not your back, 3. Know how to keep your cool!!!Number three on the list outdoor jobs. When working remember that sunblock is your friend and water is what you need (all the time so you don’t get dehydrated). Also when ever you feel that you are sweating too much or not enough take a break on sit in the shade because it may be something serious such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion. The forth and last on the list was job that have to do with working heavy equipment. 1. Don’t try to show off and do something you know you have no idea how to do it. 2.wear the personal protective equipment(ppe) ,get lots of sleep but not on the job.There are so many jobs out there that can affect us.Robert Nester a registered nurse and health scientist says "About 70 teens die of injuries that are work related." Even the jobs that don't seem like they can injure us cause these injuries. Take restaurant jobs for example. You might encounter a slip and fall or a burn these types of injuries can sent you to and emergency room. An outdoor job can be just as dangerous. Your skin exposed to the sun without sunscreen and you eyes not having 100% UV protection can cause you to get skin related illnesses and you will ruin your eye site. In any job that you perform you should always use common sense so you can avoid the harms.
