Since I joined the company that have high concern about safety issues, I began to be introduced with several safety health, safety and environtment (HSE)abbreviations. Today, I found out from our internal procedures that answer my curiosity and share it with you.

ALARP: As low as reasonably practicable
Reasonably practicable indicates that the effort or expenditure to mitigate the risk is justified by the potential return or reward.

CSI: Cost Severity Index
The metric indicates overall HSE perfomance and includes all reportable incidents in the calculation. The formula used for the calculation is:

FAC: First Aid Case
A work related injury or illness resulting in first aid treatment. This is considered not a recordable injury.

FAT: Fatality

HAZID: A Hazard identification assesment
A technique for analysis for potential hazards and quantification of the risks associated with a planned project, the risk of loss to personnel, operations, the environment, or company reputation from these hazards, and the identification of controls that will be used to mitigate the risk to ALARP.

IDLH: Immediate dangerous to life and health
Conditions that pose an immediate threat to life or health or conditions that pose an immediate threat or severe exposure to contaminants, such as radioactive materials, which are likely to have cumulative or delayed effects on health.

KPI: Key Perfomance Indicators
Indicators used to provide measurements of the defined priority and key success factors of a project or system.

LTI: Lost Time Incident
An incident resulting in days away from work.

LTIR: Lost Time Incident Rate
(LTI / Manhours x 200,000)

MTC: Medical Treatment Case
A recordable work related injury or illness resulting in medical treatment.

RWC: Restricted Work Case
A recordable work related injury or illness resulting in restricted work days.

TIFR: Total Incident Frequency Rate
(FAC+MTC+RWC+LTI)/Manhours x 200,000.

TRIR: Total Recordable Incident Frequency Rate
(MTC+RWC+LTI)/Manhours x 200,000

My son, 4 years old, likes to sit in front my PC all day long. Playing games, surf the internet, watching movies. He couldn’t read, but his curiosity is so big. Big enough to ruin my laptop’s settings. He already warned several times not to click anything except VLC, KPPP, and games. Because Mami and me knew that he will mess the laptop.What i’m afraid was happened yesterday. I lost my bottom panel !

After googling, I found out the answer here, how to restore the bottom panel. I have tried and it’s successful. I’ll summarize for you and all credits shall be given to fooman.

The basic principle is .kde folder which will resets kde to the default values.

1. Open home directory using dolphin.
2. Click “View” and mark  “Show hidden files” because .kde is hidden folder.
3. Find folder .kde, right-click on it and choose “move to trash”.
4. Logout and everything back to normal again.

Yahoo is shutting down on November 17th. They want to get rid of free messenger. If you delete this and don’t pass it on, your name will be deleted. A lot of people have already been deleted. Right click on the group name of your buddylist and click, Send Instant Message to All in Group.. This is Yahoo President Anna Rubenecia, I am sorry to announce that Yahoo has reached its maximum number of accounts two million. If you would like to keep your account for free send this to everyone on your list. This way we can know which accounts are being used and which accounts we can delete. Send this within 8 days and your account will remain free. On

I considered above message which have sent to me via Yahoo Messenger, it’s a TOTALLY HOAX. The reasons are:

1. The message did not mention the exactly date. It could be 2008 or 1998, isn’t it?
2. No issue about Yahoo shutdown which have released by any credible source such as mainstream news or trusted bloggers. Yahoo is a big company, i’m sure there will be a rumour first before it happened.
3. Yahoo President is Susan Decker with Jerry Yang, the founder, as CEO as per Yahoo! Inc. Management Team until 29 Oct 2008. Not Anna Rubenecia.
4. As per http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm, Internet users in the world is 1.4 Billion (30 June 2008) compared with 2 Million users that be claimed above. If 20% of them are Yahoo user (which I think too small), then we get over 2.8 Million user). From Wiki, I found that on October 13, 2005, Yahoo! and Microsoft announced plans to introduce interoperability between their two messengers, creating the second largest real time communications service userbase worldwide: 40 percent of all users. See what I mean? The number is totally UNACCEPTABLE from statistic point of view.
   
5. The message itself is not complete.
6. Same topics have been raised several times in past. Check this and this in Snopes.com. It will give you clear understanding about useless and fraudulent internet petition.

I know some of you just copy and paste to message window and send it to your friends. You’re hoping that you do a good job by saving other lives. But, instead of that, why don’t you copy and paste to google search bar and see what you get. As far as I know, Hoax just re-circulated from the original form. Just change the date or name or add some ‘trusted’ statement, it will become a new fresh-look of hoax. By searching thru google + logic thinking, you can judge by yourself, is it a HOAX or NOT?
