Article: All personnel who will be engaging in tasks that require a special permit must complete the required training and obtain a task-based permit before they may begin their jobs. Ensure that you have the signed and dated originals plus copies of all of these forms.For example, these tasks may include excavation, hot work, operating heavy machinery, etc. Set up a station on site where employees can find personal protective equipment each day and instruct personnel on how to use their PPE properly. The PPE station should include the following items:  Hard hats Safety glasses Boots Work gloves Ear plugs or another form of hearing protection Face masks (when needed) Falls account for a large number of fatalities for construction site personnel, so make sure to employ as many fall safety precautions as required for the work being performed. Some important features of a safe construction site include:  Guardrails Fall arrest systems Restraint systems Safety Nets Covers over openings and holes Scaffolding that is on sturdy ground After working hours, lock all points of entry to the construction site.  If the construction site is in an area where pedestrians or vehicles will pass through, ensure that there are covered walkways or cones to indicate where it is safe to walk or drive through. Also, ensure that there are signs that clearly indicate dangers and warn against entering the site. Lock up any equipment and keys to heavy machinery at the end of the day.

Obtain task-based work permits for any applicable activities. Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to all employees. Use fall prevention equipment for roof work or working from heights. Protect the public with covered walkways, detours, and barricades.
Article: One reason legs get sore is because of overuse and swelling. Raising your feet while relaxing at home will help to negate gravity and allow blood and lymph fluid to exit the lower legs and return into circulation. Taking your socks / nylons off will also help to reduce swelling, thus soothing them even further.  Raising your legs at or above your heart level is good for promoting circulation. Use soft pillows to elevate your legs while laying on the sofa, but don't hamper blood flow by crossing your legs or ankles. Soaking your legs in a warm Epsom salt bath can significantly reduce pain and swelling, especially if the pain is caused by muscle tension. The magnesium in the salt helps muscles relax. Don't make the water too hot (to prevent scalding), but make it as warm as is tolerable — the warmer the water, the more effective the Epsom. Don't soak in the bath for much more than 30 minutes because salty water pulls fluid from your body and may dehydrate you.  If swelling is a particular problem in your legs, then follow the warm salt bath with an ice bath until your legs start to feel numb (about 15 minutes or so). Always remember to dry your feet thoroughly after a bath so as to prevent slip and falls. If you're walking long distances, maybe the stress in your legs is due to muscle strain. Mild muscle strains respond well to some light stretching because it relieves muscle tension and promotes blood flow. The three main muscles groups to focus on are your calves, quadriceps, and hamstrings. In general, hold stretches (without bouncing) for about 30 seconds. Do these three to five times daily, until the discomfort in your legs decreases.  For a quad stretch while standing, brace yourself against a wall, flex your knee, and try to pull your foot such that your heel touches your buttocks. For a hamstring stretch while standing, bend over at the waist and try to touch your toes. Warming up and stretching your leg muscles prior to walking or any athletic activity may help prevent injuries such as strains, sprains, and muscle cramps. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or aspirin are short-term solutions to help you deal with tension, pain or inflammation in your legs. Keep in mind that these medications can be hard on your stomach, kidneys and liver, so it's best not to use them for more than two weeks on a constant basis.  Dosage for adults is usually 200–400 mg, by mouth, every four to six hours. Alternatively, you can try over-the-counter analgesics such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) to soothe your legs, but never take them along with NSAIDs. Be careful not to take medications on an empty stomach, as they can increase the risk of ulcers. Ill-fitting and/or excessively heavy shoes also contribute to tired and sore legs. As such, wear stable, lightweight footwear that suits your job, sport or activity. Aim for no more than a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) heel. High heels crowd the toes and create more tension in the calf muscles and Achilles tendons. If you're a serious runner, replace your shoes every 350–500 miles (560–800 km) or three months, whichever comes first.  Remember to always tie your shoes tightly, because loose shoes or flip-flops puts more strain on your lower leg muscles. Minor leg injuries such as shin splints are often caused by walking (or running) uphill, on uneven terrain or on hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete. As such, alter your course and change the type of surface you walk on — switch to grass or dirt, for example. Weight loss helps prevent a variety of musculoskeletal problems as there's less pressure put on the bones and muscles of the feet and lower legs. For most women, consuming less than 2,000 calories daily will lead to some weight loss every week even if you're only a light exerciser. Most men will lose weight at under 2,200 calories daily.  Switch to lean meats and fish, whole grains, fresh produce and lots of water for the best weight loss results. Many overweight people have flat feet and tend to over-pronate their ankles, so choosing shoes with excellent arch support is crucial.

Elevate your legs while resting. Consider an Epsom salt bath. Do some leg stretches. Take medications. Change your shoes. Lose weight.
Article: Turn your skinny jeans inside out and hand wash it in a bath of cold water with a small amount of liquid detergent, like Woolite Black. If you find that stretching from wear is happening, wash them to promote shrinking in the fabric.  Always review and follow the washing instructions on the jean tags, since some jeans require very specific care to prevent stretching, shrinking, and fading. The fibers can be weakened when excessive heat and harsh detergents are used in washing. This causes stretching, shrinking, fading and makes them more prone to rips and tears. Consider using a laundry conditioner to clean your jeans, like The Laundress Denim Wash. Laundry conditioners get your jeans clean while preventing stretching, fading, and fuzz. Get the most out of washing your jeans by allowing your jeans to air dry. Hang them up to air them out and help them maintain their shape and quality for much longer.  Most people will instinctively want to put their jeans in the dryer, which is useful with helping skinny jeans shrink, but not recommended for long or excessive use because of the wear and tear the machine can create. Air dry your jeans whenever possible. To accelerate drying even further, hang your jeans on a clothesline and allow the fresh air to help them dry and revitalize its scent. Be careful that they are not directly exposed to sunlight. If ever you’re feeling your skinny jeans are a little looser than you’d like, put them in the dryer. After hand washing them gently, toss them into your dryer at the highest setting to make the fibers of the denim constrict for a tighter fight when you wear them again.  Be aware that a commercial dryer can cause wear and tear in denim with excessive use so use a dryer at your discretion. If using a commercial dryer is your preference for drying your jeans, toss them in at the lowest setting to cut down some of the potential harm regular use may cause to the look and feel of your skinny jeans.
