Hypothermia

Hypothermia is an emergency & dangerous condition that occurs when humans are exposed to cold & very cold temperatures. Hypothermia can also occur when humans feel cold due to rain, sweat & submerged in cold water.

Some other things that cause Hypothermia:
- Wet clothes
- Insufficient heating
- The room is too cold
- Being outdoors for a long time

When exposed to cold temperatures, the human body begins to lose heat more quickly, then the body temperature becomes lower & eventually the energy in the body will be exhausted & lost.

Consequences of too low body temperature & loss of energy:
- Disorders of the brain, so they become confused, can't think & lose their memory
- Disturbances in the body & muscles, so they can't move, can't talk & feel very tired
- Disorders of the skin that causes shaking & the skin becomes red

Some things that can be done to treat Hypothermia:
- Take the victim to a dry & warm place
- Use warm & dry clothes & blankets to warm the chest, neck & head
- CPR
- Medical treatment

Sea Survival

Humans are tropical creatures & to survive outside a tropical environment, humans must use clothing & shelter to prevent body cooling.

Incidents can occur at sea because the victims:
- Can't swim & then drown in the sea
- Exposed to cold weather & water
- Not using PPE & rescue equipment (life jackets, wetsuits, life rafts & more)

Things to remember:
- Cold air & water will irritate the skin, muscles, breathing, nerves & heart (usually called cold shock)
- Breathing that is not done properly & uncontrolled will disrupt blood flow, nervous system & heart
- Disorders of the heart when at sea can lead to stroke & heart attack
- Inability to control breathing resulting in drowning
- Various disturbances in the body will interfere with swimming performance & other actions that are important for survival
- Disturbed body temperature (Hypothermia) can cause death
- Hypothermia can cause confusion, disorientation, amnesia, cardiac arrhythmias, loss of consciousness & death

Simple tips:
- If you don't need to be in the sea, try to keep your body dry & warm
- If you need to jump to the sea, enter the sea slowly

Fire Warden

Fires that occur in buildings do pose a serious risk to businesses & companies:
- Dead
- Injury
- Property & equipment damage

Therefore, the activities carried out by the Fire Warden every day to prevent fires are the most important things needed by all companies. Business owners are indeed required to have personnel responsible for preventing & dealing with fires & ensuring safety in the workplace. Under applicable regulations, business owners can be sued if fire safety standards are not met.

The Fire Warden has the responsibility to:

- Provide & maintain fire extinguishers
- Ensure that emergency lighting is working
- Provide fire safety signs

When a fire occurs, the Fire Warden will:
- Get everyone out of the building safely

Giving the proper training to the Fire Warden is a key factor to prevent fires in the workplace.
