The construction site is more dangerous than you thought as things might fall and collapse and the last thing that you want is a concrete block to fall on your naked head, so wear the safety gears. The safety gears are usually safety vests, safety goggles, ear protection, helmet, and work boots.

Be Aware

Be aware of your surroundings, see something cracked or something that might fall apart when someone steps on it? Make sure to notify someone right away to save you from any accident that might happen. To avoid something dangerous that might occur, routinely checking your tools and the condition of the site will help a lot. If you’re a worker and you notice that something’s off, consider notifying your manager or supervisor about it, because who knows that you might save a life for that.

Weather

On extreme weather such as a storm, work should be postponed as it can be dangerous to work on extreme weather. A guideline stating that workers need to stop working on extreme weather should also be written, making it safe for everyone to pause their work if there’s a storm.

Facts You Should Know About Cat Foods

Pet owners understand that they need to feed their cats proper diets. Thus, there is a need to avoid poor commercial foods. If you buy cat food from the major retailers, you will be surprised to learn that most of the foods are of poor quality. The truth is that you may be sold marketing gimmicks. You should note that the pet food industry has several dirty secrets that they do not want pet owners to know. It is advisable to consult a cat food advisor first before buying. The following are some of the things you should know.

Pet Food Labels

This explains why they will use words such as “choice,” “quality,” and premium on their labels. There is nothing wrong with doing so as long they do not make any guarantee about the ingredients used. Therefore, when you see the word premium, treat it as a normal marketing term. It is there to make you buy and there is nothing more it can do than that.

Reading Ingredients

When you read food ingredients, you can tell whether the food you want to purchase is worth buying or not. Usually, low-quality cat food contains bone meal and meat as the primary ingredients. This is just a mixture of diseased tissues, animal intestines, and bones. Also, animal digest and meat by-products do have similar ingredients. This explains why cats get sick after eating bad commercial food.

Less Quality Control

This can help you learn about the percentage of protein, carbs, and fat. However, the analysis will not reveal the sources of ingredients. For instance, most pet food manufacturers use low nutrition food sources such as chicken feet to add protein content to the food. Also, others use euthanized animals in the food.

Human Grade Ingredients

You should look for pet food that contains human grade ingredients. It is unfortunate that many companies claim to use these types of ingredients but only use 1 or 2. For instance, when countries from Europe import pet food, they demand that all the ingredients must be human grade. You should use this law to avoid buying low-quality food.…
