WHY ARE SAFETY TRAININGS SO IMPORTANT?

WHY ARE SAFETY TRAININGS SO IMPORTANT? WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY CAN BE KIND OF A
PAIN TO SIT THROUGH, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE BEEN DOING YOUR JOB FOR A WHILE AND
FEEL LIKE YOU ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW. BUT THE FACT OF THE
MATTER IS, EVEN THE MOST EXPERIENCED WORKERS CAN BENEFIT FROM A REFRESHER ON
SAFETY BEST PRACTICES.


TAKE JOE SMITH, FOR EXAMPLE. JOE HAS BEEN WORKING IN CONSTRUCTION FOR OVER 20
YEARS, AND HE'S NEVER HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE JOB. BUT LAST YEAR, HE
UNDERWENT SOME MANDATORY SAFETY TRAINING AS PART OF HIS EMPLOYER'S POLICY. AND
GUESS WHAT? THE TRAINING ENDED UP SAVING HIM FROM A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INJURY.



JOE WAS WORKING ON A ROOF WHEN HE SLIPPED AND FELL. HE SAYS THAT IF IT HADN'T
BEEN FOR THE SAFETY TRAINING HE RECEIVED, HE WOULD HAVE FALLEN ALL THE WAY TO
THE GROUND AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. HIS HARNESS KEPT HIM FROM
FALLING OFF THE ROOF.




SO EVEN THOUGH SAFETY TRAININGS MAY NOT ALWAYS BE THE MOST EXCITING THING IN THE
WORLD, THEY CAN DEFINITELY BE WORTH YOUR WHILE. THEY CAN HELP YOU AVOID
ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES, AND KEEP YOU SAFE ON THE JOB. SO NEXT TIME YOU'RE
SCHEDULED FOR A SAFETY TRAINING, MAKE SURE YOU GO IN WITH AN OPEN MIND - YOU
NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE.



AFTER YEARS OF WORKING IN CONSTRUCTION, I NEVER REALISED HOW IMPORTANT SAFETY
TRAININGS WERE-- THAT IS UNTIL RECENTLY. WE GOT SOME NEW GUYS WHO LACKED
EXPERIENCE AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS AND RISKS INVOLVED IN THE JOB. THIS
WAS WHEN I FIRST REALISED HOW IMPORTANT TRAINING IS NOT ONLY FOR NEW PEOPLE, BUT
ALSO FOR EVERYONE TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO RESCUE WORKERS AND HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
THE RISKS THEY ARE TAKING. WE CHOSE SAFETY24 FOR OUR TRAINING, AND WE FOUND THAT
IT WAS VERY CONCISE AND TO THE POINT WITHOUT TAKING UP TOO MUCH TIME. THE 



MODULES WERE EASY TO UNDERSTAND, AND THE QUIZZES AT THE END OF EACH MODULE
ENSURED THAT WE WERE RETAINING THE INFORMATION. 


I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND SAFETY24 TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE,
COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY TRAINING SOLUTION. NO MATTER YOUR LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE,
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE NEW REGULATIONS OR SAFETY PROTOCOLS TO LEARN.


OUR FIRST AIRBNB IN SWITZERLAND



IN OUR LAST TRIP THROUGH SWITZERLAND WE DECIDED TO STOP IN BASEL. IT WAS JUST
TOO NICE A SUMMER DAY TO RETURN TO GERMANY. RECENTLY WE ARE IN WELL-DESERVED
RETIREMENT AND WE DECIDED TO ENJOY OUR LIVES AS LONG AS POSSIBLE WITH TRAVEL.
OUR CHILDREN RECENTLY SHOWED US AN APP THAT ALLOWS US TO RENT STRANGERS'
APARTMENTS EASILY FROM OUR TELEPHONE, AND THE WUPP INGE, MY WIFE, BOOKED US A
NICE LITTLE APARTMENT IN THE CENTER OF BASEL. EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED DIRECTLY
ONLINE INCLUDING THE PAYMENT AND SO IT CAME THAT WE ONLY MET WITH THE LANDLADY,
TOOK THE KEYS, BROUGHT OUR LUGGAGE IN THE APARTMENT AND MADE US FRESH.
IT WAS LATE AFTERNOON AND WE BOTH GOT HUNGRY WHEN WE LEFT OUR NICE APARTMENT AND
WE DECIDED ON A SMALL NICE ITALIAN RESTAURANT. FORTUNATELY, THEY ARE OPEN ALL
DAY LONG. WE BOTH HAD SPAGHETTI PASTA AND A GLASS OF CHIANTI. ARE THERE BETTER
MOMENTS TO LIVE OUT YOUR PENSION?
UNFORTUNATELY, I MUST CONFESS, YES, BECAUSE I FORGOT MY PURSE AND HURRIED BACK
TO THE APARTMENT TO GET IT. ON SOME DAYS, THE WORM IS JUST IN THERE, YOU MIGHT
THINK, BECAUSE WHEN I WANTED TO OPEN THE APARTMENT, THE KEY BROKE IN THE LOCK.
OUCH.
I QUICKLY GRABBED THE PHONE AND CALLED OUR LANDLADY WHO IN TURN IS NOW ALSO
TRAVELING. SHE CALMS ME DOWN BY SAYING A KEY SERVICE AND I SHOULD JUST GO BACK
TO THE RESTAURANT AND HAVE AN ESPRESSO OR ANOTHER GLASS OF WINE FOR SO LONG.
A BIT EXCITED I AM ALREADY BUT IT TOOK LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AS THE
SCHLUESSELDIENST BASEL PICKED ME UP TO LET ME INTO THE APARTMENT. I'VE NEVER
BEEN IN THE POSITION TO HIRE A LOCKSMITH, BUT I WAS SURPRISED HOW FAST IT IS
POSSIBLE FOR A PROFESSIONAL TO OPEN THE DOOR AND EXCHANGE A LOCK. 10 MINUTES
LATER, IT WAS ACTUALLY 20, WE HAD A NEW BUNCH OF KEYS, MY PURSE AND THE OWNER
HIS MONEY.
WHAT A DAY. A KEY SERVICE IS INDEED A FANCY SERVICE THAT BROUGHT US A GREAT
STORY TO TELL. JUST A NORMAL STOPOVER IN BASEL.


100 BRANDS BUT ONLY ONE BEER 




IF YOU HAVE TRAVELED SEVERAL TIMES TO A HOTEL COMPLEX FACILITIES, IT MAY WELL BE
THAT THERE ARE BEER VARIETIES AT THE BAR WHICH YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AND WORSE
ABOUT WHICH YOU ALSO FIND NOTHING ON THE INTERNET.
SO ALSO THIS TIME IN MALLORCA. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN THE WEATHER WAS SO
UNPREDICTABLE THAT IT SEEMED THE MOST SENSIBLE TO JUST GO TO THE HOTEL BAR, GO
TO THE WATER AND BACK AND ENJOY SOME COCKTAILS AND BEERS. THE DAY WAS SO
BEAUTIFUL THE DAY WAS SO BEAUTIFUL HE WAS AND THE HOURS WENT BY AND I STARTED TO
PHILOSOPHIZE WITH HANS THE BARTENDER ABOUT BEERS WHEN HE INVITED ME TO BLIND
TASTING. OUR TASTING WENT OVER BEER EXCLUSIVELY.
AS ENJOYABLE AS IT WAS, IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN CERTAIN BEERS
AND I ASKED HANS, STUNNED: "DO YOU SERVE ME DIFFERENT BEERS OR SEVERAL TIMES THE
SAME?"
HANS ANSWERED WITH A BROAD SMILE: "EVERYTHING WAS DIFFERENT BEERS AND YET SOME
WERE THE SAME."
HE LOOKED PUZZLED AND SAID: MANY OF THE DIFFERENT BEERS AND BEER BRANDS I DRANK
IN THE LAST FEW DAYS ALL COME FROM ONE AND THE SAME BREWERY. AND ALTHOUGH I
SUBJECTIVELY CHOSE ONE OF THE UNKNOWN BEER AS MY FAVORITE, IT WAS THE DÉCOR OF
THE LABEL WHICH LED ME TO SUBJECTIVELY CHOOSE A WINNER FROM THE SAME BEERS.


PERPLEXED BY THIS EXPERIMENT, I STARTED TO LOOK FOR CONTRACT BREWER ON THE WEB
AND FOUND INFORMATION AT PRIVATELABELBEER.DE. MY CONTACT PERSON THERE WAS
CLAUDIO, A NICE YOUNG GUY WHO CONFIRMED MY EXPERIENCE IN MALLORCA. DIVERSE HOTEL
CHAINS, BUY ONE AND THE SAME BEER AND LABEL IT DIFFERENTLY. ESPECIALLY IN ALL
INCLUSIVE HOTEL WITH YOUR CALCULATION NOT MUCH GAME, FOR WHICH IT IS THE PERFECT
THING TO DO. A BRAND, NAMED DIFFERENTLY AND NO STRESS IN TAPPING, BECAUSE ANYWAY
EVERYTHING IS THE SAME. ONE IS A BRIGHT, ANOTHER A PILS AND A THIRD A PREMIUM TO
COVER ALL WALKS OF LIFE.


DID I FEEL RIPPED OFF? AT FIRST YES, AT SECOND THOUGHT NO. I WANTED A BEER, I
GOT A BEER. I HAD AN ALL INCLUSIVE OFFER AND STILL THE FEELING OF CHOICE. I EVEN
CHOSE MY FAVORITE. ALL IN ALL, I HAD A GREAT TIME WITH GREAT SERVICE IN A GREAT
HOTEL WITH GOOD BEER.
