article: The assessment should cover the hazards, how people might be harmed by them, and what you have in place to control the risks.  If you have fewer than five employees, by law you do not have to write down a risk assessment. But it’s useful to do this so you can review it at a later date and update it.  If you have five or more employees, you are required by law to write down the assessment. There are several templates available online, based on the type of workplace you work in. A basic risk assessment should show that:  A proper check of the hazard was made. You asked who might be affected. You dealt with the obvious, major hazards, and took into account the number of people who could be involved. The precautions taken are reasonable and practical. The remaining risk is low and/or manageable. You involved your employees in the process. If the nature of your work changes often or the workplace changes and develops, such as a construction site, your risk assessment may have to concentrate on a broad range of risks that can be anticipated. This could mean the possible state of the site your workers will be building on that day, or the possible physical hazards in the area, like fallen trees or rocks. If your risk assessment identifies a number of hazards, you need to rank them in order of importance. For example, a chemical spill in a chemical plant will likely be the most serious risk, and a back injury from lifting a barrel in the chemical plant may be a less serious risk. The rankings of the hazards are usually based on common sense. Consider the hazards that could lead to serious injuries like death, the loss of a limb, or a serious burn or cut. Then, work down from the most serious to the least serious. This could mean better spill prevention for the chemical plant, or a clear evacuation procedure in the event of a spill. You could also provide high quality PPE for workers to prevent exposure to the chemicals.  Note if these improvements or solutions can be implemented quickly, or even with temporary fixes, until more reliable controls can be put in place. Remember that the greater the hazard, the more robust and reliable the control measures will need to be. Your risk assessment may include the need for employee training on a safety practice, like picking up a box from the ground properly, or for training on how to deal with a chemical spill. Another approach is to use a risk assessment matrix, which helps you determine how likely or unlikely a risk may occur in your workplace. The matrix will have a column for “Consequence and Likelihood”, which is divided into:  Rare: May occur only in exceptional circumstances. Unlikely: Could occur at some time. Possible: Might occur at some time. Likely: Will probably occur in most circumstances. Almost Certain: Is expected to occur in most circumstances. The top column will then be divided into sections for: Insignificant: Low financial loss, no disruption to capability, no impact on community standing. Minor: Medium financial loss, minor disruption to capability, minor impact on community standing. Serious: High financial loss, some ongoing disruption to capability, modest impact on community standing. Disastrous: Major financial loss, ongoing disruption to capability, major impact of community standing. Catastrophic: Mission critical financial loss, permanent disruption to capability, and ruinous impact on community standing. You are not required by law to share the risk assessment with your workers but it may be a good practice to share the completed document with them. File a hard copy of the risk assessment and keep an electronic copy on the company's shared drive. You want to have easy access to the document so you can update it or adjust it accordingly. Few workplaces stay the same, and sooner or later, you will bring in new equipment, substances, and procedures that could lead to new hazards. Review your employee’s work practices on a daily basis, and update the risk assessment. Ask yourself:  Have there been any changes? Have you learnt anything from accidents or near misses? Set up a review date for the risk assessment in a year’s time. If there is a significant change at your workplace during the year, update the risk assessment as soon as possible.

article: This means not letting the person’s sadness get you down. You need to be able to regulate your own emotions and not become overwhelmed yourself, otherwise you won’t be able to help your friend very much. Take a break from the conversation if you need a minute to re-group. Perhaps excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. Take deep breaths, or let some of your emotions out if you need to. According to the 5 love languages, many people enjoy receiving gifts as ways to show love and support.This can go a long way in cheering someone up who is sad and it shows that you are thoughtful and supportive.  Give a gift such as flowers, a card, or her favorite candy. If you are lacking in finances, you can write her a loving letter or make her a home-made gift (art, etc). Sometimes people can have negative (and untrue) thoughts that increase sadness or guilt. For example, some individuals may tend to personalize events or situations, which can create unnecessary negative emotions.  An example might be if your friend says, “It’s my fault that Fido ran away.” Help your friend re-direct these types of thoughts by offering alternatives and calming disagreeing with her. You could say something such as, "You love Fido and do everything you can to take care of him. Maybe he just got out somehow and couldn't find his way home." Some people might have negative thoughts that try to predict the future such as if your friend says, “I’m never going to find Fido.” This is an incorrect thought because she cannot predict what will happen. You can gently say something like, “Isn’t it possible that you will still find him? I have hope that we might be able to get him back.” Avoid blaming others. Encourage your friend to focus on what she can do about the situation instead of thinking too much about how others may have contributed to the issue; this can increase anger and reduce her ability to think logically and problem-solve. When people are very sad they can sometimes have difficulty thinking rationally and working toward solutions to their problem. Encourage your friend to look at her emotions as information. Her sadness is telling her that something is wrong and might need to be resolved. Then, you can help her come up with possible solutions and work toward them.  For example, if your friend lost her dog, you can say, “Let’s work on a solution together. What do you think we should do first?” Offer possible solutions. For instance, you could say, “I have an idea, why don’t we start calling local shelters to see if anyone has found him.”

article:
When you feel relaxed and ready, you can start by visualizing a journey to meet your spirit guide. Close your eyes, take a few breaths, and begin picturing in your mind whatever imagery suits you. For instance:  Imagine yourself climbing a set of stairs. At the top, there is a door. When you open it, you will find a room or space where you can greet your spirit guide. Picture yourself climbing each stair, one at a time, until you are ready to reach the door. Let the staircase be as high as seems right to you. Imagine yourself rising upwards out of your home, away from your street, into the sky, and into outer space. Picture the stars, moons, and planets that you might see there. Feel for the one that seems like the right place to meet your spirit guide, and go there. Imagine yourself walking through a dense forest or field of tall grass. Feel your way to a clearing, and picture yourself entering it to meet your spirit guide. Try connecting with your spirit guide through dream visualization, such as lucid dreaming. Once you have reached the place where you can meet your spirit guide, you should be ready to make a connection with it. Keep in mind that your spirit guide might be someone or something (such as an animal or other creature) that you see, but you might also only hear it, feel it, or just “know” that it is there. When you have found your spirit guide, it will be nice to have a confirmation that it knows you are there and wants to communicate with you. Try:  Asking its name. Asking for a sign. For instance, your spirit guide might play a melody that is very special to you, or cause you to smell a scent that you like, or say something about you that no one else would know—anything to show that you are connected. Looking for synchronicities and coincidences that show you are connecting with your spirit guide. For example, perhaps your spirit guide will say a quote that you will read later in the day. If you are having trouble connecting with your spirit guide through visualization, or just want to try a different method, you can use automatic writing. Get a pen and paper, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and ask your spirit guide to write through you. Keep writing without stopping until you feel the connection has ended for now. Afterwards, analyze what you wrote to see how your spirit guide was communicating with you.  Automatic writing might take the form of recognizable words. However, your automatic writing might also incorporate images, doodles, and even alternate languages and alphabets. Whatever comes out, don’t filter it as you write. Just let it flow as long as you feel connected. Use your intuition when trying to interpret your automatic writing. Look for connections to things that interest you, questions you have, and images, phrases, or ideas that keep coming up. Don’t be surprised if your automatic writing is difficult to interpret or even impenetrable. Be patient if you don’t understand, and see if your spirit guide will help reveal things in time. Don’t just look for answers to questions you have, or reflections on yourself. Try to understand the character of your spirit guide as it is expressed in the automatic writing. This can help you become closer to your guide. Another way to connect with your spirit guide through writing is to address a letter to it. Get yourself in the right mental and spiritual state through breathing exercises, meditation, or other means. Then, using paper and a pen, start drafting a letter to your spirit guide.   Once you have finished your letter, you can keep it in a special place (such as a box), or symbolically deliver it to your spirit guide (burn it, throw it in a river, or let the wind carry it away). Afterwards, look for signs and synchronicities that show your spirit guide has received your letter. Whether visualizing your spirit guide or writing to it, you should feel free to ask it questions. Remember it is there to guide you, so ask it whatever is on your mind. If you are writing to your spirit guide, you can use two differently colored pens—one to write down your questions, and another for your spirit guide’s answers. Questions you might ask include:  "Who am I?" "What do I really want?" “What should I do about X?” “What changes should I make in my life?” “What is my purpose in life?” “What is holding me back?” “What is the universe made of?” Any others that are specific to your life, goals, worries, dreams, or interests. You may enjoy keeping a journal of all the connections you make with your spirit guide, whether through visualization, writing, dreams, meditation, or some other means. Record the day and time, how you connected, the messages or signs that you received, how you felt, and anything else you recollect.
