Safety Moment

Working in an energy solutions company, we are constantly reminded at work on the importance of safety. We take it very seriously. If an acccident occurred at work or while during the course of duty, we were to report it to our immediate supervisor who would then escalate it to the appropriate levels. Anyhow, to increase our safety awareness, it is a corporate culture to to share a "safety moment" with colleagues at the start of every meeting.

This article on the explosion of a Dell computer at a conference would definitely constitue a solid safety moment. As we work for the regional office, many of us travel and hence are given laptops instead of workstations. We carry our laptops with us as much as we carry our handbags or briefcases around. And many times, we work on them when on planes as we travel so much too.

If our laptops were to explode while we were on a plane, I cannot imagine what the consequences would be. Would it be a first that a faulty laptop sent a plane full of passengers crashing to the ground below? I don't particularly fancy being a member of LOST - in real life.

PS. If you scrolled down to the bottom of the page, you would see a corresponding ad for a limited offer posted by Dell. This is an example of how Google Ads can work against you. Moral of the story? Bad publicity is the start of the road downhill...
