Its the last day of my work week (and im not giving up the statutory holiday pay just because my paid off days reset today) but yesterday i popped my thumb joint so weirdly while unsticking a stuck suitcase from the xray and it went all red and bruised and still feels real weird and uncomfortable

But it still has full range of motion and doesnt feel painful (just a bit uncomfy) so i think i did the equivalent of rolling my ankle but where the thumb bone connects to your palm because some guy filled his entire bag with metal drawer slides

I’m gonna rant for a second because I hate the shitty way visitors treat hospital staff, and I’ve spent all of my last 6 12 hour shifts dealing with it 

Yes, I know you want an update with the nurse, but they aren’t available right now. It’s shift change, last night’s nurses are exhausted and want to go home, today’s nurses don’t even know who their patients are yet. 

Yes, I know, it’s inconvenient. But every single fucking time I have to pull a nurse away from their patient so you can talk to them, that is CARE that the PATIENT ISNT GETTING. 

Like, I’m really sorry, but when it comes down to your feelings versus a patient’s actual life, I don’t care about you. I’m sorry that you’re worried and anxious. I sympathize with it. But if you want your loved one to get the care they need, you need to handle yourself because you are a distraction to the nurse, you are hindering patient care, and the more often this happens, the worse your loved one will be, and I don’t get why that’s so hard to understand. If something significant happens, the nurse will call YOU. If they haven’t called, that means there’s no meaningful updates! 

I’ve seen it time and again that people think by being the loudest voice in the room, they’re showing how much they care about the patient. These are usually the people that couldn’t give a shit about them when they were healthy. The son that hasn’t seen his mother more than once a month since putting her in a nursing home suddenly needs to be up everyone’s ass all the time. The daughter that hasn’t called her father in months screaming at the nurses over every little thing. It’s such performative bullshit and I hate it. We are not here to be your emotional punching bags so you can feel better about how you’ve neglected your relationships, as if abusing us makes up for your lack of contact and caring. 

And the families that like to stand in the doorway staring at everyone who walks by, or come up to the nursing station demanding to speak to the nurse/a charge nurse, because they feel like that care isn’t happening patient care is done on a schedule. Everything is planned down to the hour. Yes, sometimes there are delays. But if a nurse should be providing something at a certain time and doesn’t, that usually means something more important is happening with another patient. Example: you want to tell me to remind the nurse that someone’s pain medication is due in exactly 11 minutes? believe me, that nurse knows down to the exact second when the last dose was given, she’ll be there on time, she does NOT need a reminder. (this is my BIGGEST pet peeve) 

Even the people that are well-meaning about their calls, it’s still so self-centered to constantly demand a nurse’s attention every hour, every two hours. Again, I understand when you’re anxious, but the nurse isn’t here to reassure you. Work out your anxiety with a loved one that isn’t the current patient. Because all you’re doing is taking up the nurse’s valuable time, which is taking away from patient care, so that you can have your nerves soothed when there is ultimately no update to be had, other than “everything’s the same.” 

If there is a significant change, good or bad, the nurse will call you. 

If the patient codes/almost/actually dies, the nurse will call you. 

If your loved one spontaneously wakes up from a coma, the nurse will call you. 

If there is a major procedure, the nurse will (probably, it’s complicated) call you.

I am so done fielding phone calls from people that are passive aggressive, angry, or straight up yelling at me over the smallest thing. You are not helping anyone when you’re calling the nurse to demand whether the patient has eaten or not yet. Either they did, or they’re not able due to illness, or they’re not allowed to due to an upcoming procedure. Nothing you say or shout will change anything. Medications are added/changed/discontinued practically daily, don’t start freaking out just because the patient was on one blood pressure med one day and a different one/none the next. 

If you don’t get a call for a day or two, the nurse isn’t refusing to communicate with you. They just have no significant updates to give, and their time is better spent on patient care than on the phone with you talking about how much the patient did or didn’t urinate. 

This goes doubly for patients that are fully conscious/aware of their surroundings, and able to advocate for themselves. In those cases, any family members become entirely superfluous, because we do not need you. We don’t need you to understand what’s going on with the patient, because we don’t need you to consent to their procedures as a medical proxy. Your input doesn’t matter. And you better be damn grateful when the nurse is willing to give you any information at all, because at that point, it should really be up to the patient to disseminate the news of their condition.

Except because nurses are saints and recognize the mental and emotional strain that will put on the patient, they take care of that too. People need to start showing some gratitude instead of attitude, because contact with the nurse is a privilege, not a right, and people like me are incredibly happy to remove it when you can’t be respectful of everyone’s time. 

Tl;dr not to be rude but if you’re not the patient, or the patient’s medical proxy, you don’t matter, so you better be nice

Welding buddy again! So when I was in OSHA class they made us look at this picture of a guy with a hunk of a grind disc stuck in his safety glasses. Like they stopped the shard from hitting his eye. If you just google image search ‘safety glasses grinder disc’ the picture comes up. But anyway, grinder discs shatter like that more often than you’d think, so they made us look at that to basically scare us into wearing our safety glasses. It worked. But I could imagine Skitch sending a picture of themselves with a shard of grinder disc sticking from their safety glasses to Wanda with a big grin like “thanks for making me wear my PPE babe!” With a thumbs up emoji XD

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT- That would scare the living daylights out of me. Trust, they're never coming off 😂

I can just imagine Wanda's face after getting that picture, like "Yeah- I'M GLAD I DID TOO!" 💀

[inga-don-studio]

I did NOT do a good job in acting like I wanted the job I just interviewed for SFHSHFSFH.

Which is … true … but damn I really embodied “go girl give us nothing.”

[lord-squiggletits]

Also idk if I can elaborate on this in beautiful enough detail, but I think that the Autobots going through unreasonable amounts of effort to save other people even at great personal cost to themselves is literally something good about them, and if you try to criticize that as a way the Autobots are “bad” then I really don’t get you.

Biological Safety Cabinets: Essential Laboratory Equipment for Handling Hazardous Materials

Biological safety cabinets, also known as biosafety cabinets or BSCs, are essential equipment used in laboratories to protect workers and the environment from exposure to hazardous biological materials like bacteria, viruses, rickettsiae or potentially infectious substances. They provide an important physical barrier that contains and controls potential contamination or exposure during handling and manipulation of biological materials. In this article, we will explore the key components, classifications and functions of biological safety cabinets. Types of Biological Safety Cabinets There are three main classes of biological safety cabinets categorized based on their filtration and airflow design features: Class I: These are ventilated cabinets that provide personnel and environmental protection through unidirectional inward airflow and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration of exhausted air. Exposure is controlled through inward velocity capture of aerosols generated in the cabinet work area. Class I cabinets are primarily used for low-risk procedures. Class II: Class II cabinets have a higher level of protection than Class I and provide both personnel and environmental protection through unidirectional inward airflow and HEPA-filtered laminar flow. They have an open front with inward airflow and come in two types - Class II, Type A1 and Class II, Type A2 depending on whether they exhaust air back into the laboratory (A1) or vent it to the outside (A2). These are suitable for low to moderate risk activities. Class III: Class III cabins offer the highest level of protection and are totally enclosed, gas-tight cabinets with a non-opening front window and gloves built into the cabinet's internal work access ports. They maintain negative pressure inside the Biological Safety Cabinets and provide the greatest level of containment through a double-HEPA filtered recirculated airflow system, giving 360-degree product and personnel protection. Class III BSCs are designed for handling risky infectious aerosols and are ideal for advanced pathology and microbiology laboratories.

Why Scrub Cleaning Is Essential for Your Workplace in Melbourne, Australia

Maintaining a clean and healthy workplace environment is crucial for businesses in Melbourne, Australia. Cleanliness contributes to the health and safety of employees, improves productivity, and enhances a company's image. With Melbourne's growing business environment, workplaces ranging from offices to industrial sites must ensure a high standard of cleanliness. One of the best ways to achieve this is through professional scrub cleaning. This article will explore why scrub cleaning is essential for your workplace in Melbourne and the benefits it brings.

1. Ensuring Health and Safety in the Workplace

In Melbourne, businesses must comply with workplace health and safety regulations to protect employees from harmful conditions. Dirt, dust, bacteria, and allergens can accumulate in office spaces, warehouses, or retail environments, posing health risks to staff and customers. Professional scrub cleaning helps eliminate these contaminants, keeping surfaces like floors, walls, and workstations free from germs.

A clean workplace minimizes the risk of respiratory problems, allergies, and illnesses like the flu or cold. These can spread rapidly in an unclean environment, leading to more sick days and decreased productivity. Regular scrub cleaning reduces the number of germs, bacteria, and allergens present, which improves indoor air quality and ensures a healthier work atmosphere.

2. Boosting Employee Productivity

The appearance and cleanliness of a workspace directly affect employee morale and productivity. An untidy or dirty environment can lead to distractions, discomfort, and stress, while a clean, organized space encourages focus, efficiency, and creativity. In Melbourne, where industries like finance, education, and retail thrive, high levels of productivity are essential for businesses to stay competitive.

Scrub cleaning is a thorough method that ensures all areas, including hard-to-reach corners and high-traffic zones, are deeply cleaned. By maintaining a clean environment, employees are more likely to take pride in their workspace, which can contribute to better performance and overall job satisfaction.

3. Improving Company Image and Client Perception

First impressions matter, especially for businesses in Melbourne’s bustling economy. Clients, partners, and potential customers judge a business not just by its products or services, but by the environment it operates in. An unclean workplace can give off a negative impression, suggesting disorganization, lack of professionalism, or negligence.

Scrub cleaning ensures that your workplace looks spotless and well-maintained, creating a welcoming and professional atmosphere for anyone who visits. This is especially important in industries like retail, hospitality, and real estate, where customers regularly interact with the business environment. A clean, polished workspace can make clients feel more comfortable, confident, and inclined to do business with you.

4. Extending the Lifespan of Office Equipment and Infrastructure

Dust, dirt, and grime can cause wear and tear on office furniture, carpets, and electronic equipment. In Melbourne's fluctuating climate, this build-up can happen quickly, especially in areas with high humidity or near the city’s busy industrial districts. Floors, especially, are susceptible to damage from heavy foot traffic and spills, which can result in costly repairs or replacements if not properly cleaned and maintained.

Scrub cleaning goes beyond the surface, removing built-up dirt and grime that can deteriorate materials over time. This not only helps extend the lifespan of your office equipment, furniture, and floors but also saves your business money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent replacements or deep restoration services.

5. Meeting Environmental Standards and Promoting Sustainability

In Melbourne, there is increasing awareness about the importance of environmental sustainability. Many businesses are adopting green practices to reduce their environmental footprint and meet local regulations. Scrub cleaning can play a role in supporting sustainability efforts, especially when using eco-friendly cleaning products and methods.

Professional cleaning services in Melbourne are often equipped with environmentally friendly cleaning solutions that are non-toxic and biodegradable, ensuring that your workplace remains safe for employees while minimizing harm to the environment. This not only helps in reducing water and chemical waste but also promotes a healthier workplace for everyone involved.

6. Reducing Workplace Accidents and Liability

Workplace accidents, such as slips, trips, and falls, are among the most common causes of injuries in office and industrial environments. In Melbourne, businesses are legally obligated to ensure the safety of their employees and customers. Dirty or wet floors, cluttered spaces, and unsanitary conditions can increase the likelihood of accidents, which can lead to costly lawsuits and insurance claims.

Scrub cleaning ensures that floors are thoroughly cleaned and maintained, reducing the chances of accidents caused by slipping or tripping. Regular cleaning of high-traffic areas such as hallways, stairwells, and entrances helps to keep these spaces safe for employees and visitors. By maintaining a clean and hazard-free environment, businesses can avoid liability issues and ensure compliance with workplace safety regulations.

7. Customized Cleaning Solutions for Different Industries

Melbourne is home to a diverse range of industries, from healthcare and education to manufacturing and hospitality. Each industry has unique cleaning requirements, and scrub cleaning services can be customized to meet these specific needs. For example:

Healthcare facilities: Require deep cleaning and disinfection to prevent the spread of infections and ensure a sterile environment.

Retail stores and restaurants: Need frequent cleaning of floors and high-contact surfaces to maintain a hygienic and pleasant atmosphere for customers.

Industrial sites and factories: Often deal with oil, grease, and other heavy contaminants that require specialized cleaning solutions to maintain cleanliness and safety.

By working with professional scrub cleaning services, businesses can develop a tailored cleaning plan that addresses their industry’s specific needs and maintains the highest standards of cleanliness.

8. Saving Time and Allowing Focus on Core Business Activities

One of the most significant advantages of outsourcing scrub cleaning to professionals is that it frees up your team to focus on their core tasks. Instead of dedicating time and energy to managing in-house cleaning efforts, businesses can rely on experienced cleaning professionals who use advanced equipment and techniques to get the job done efficiently.

For companies in Melbourne, where business hours can be hectic, having a professional cleaning service take care of scrub cleaning ensures that the workplace remains clean without disrupting daily operations. This not only boosts efficiency but also allows employees to focus on what they do best, ultimately contributing to the company’s success.

9. Supporting Melbourne’s Local Cleaning Industry

By choosing professional scrub cleaning services based in Melbourne, businesses also contribute to the local economy. Supporting local companies helps generate jobs and strengthens the community, creating a positive economic impact. Melbourne is home to many skilled cleaning professionals who are familiar with the city's unique climate and environmental challenges, making them well-equipped to handle workplace cleaning needs effectively.

Conclusion

In conclusion, scrub cleaning is not just about keeping your workplace looking good; it’s an essential service that ensures the health, safety, and productivity of your employees while enhancing your company’s image. For businesses in Melbourne, Australia, where cleanliness and professionalism are key to success, investing in regular scrub cleaning is a smart decision that can yield significant benefits.

From improving indoor air quality to extending the lifespan of office equipment and reducing workplace accidents, scrub cleaning offers numerous advantages that make it an essential part of any workplace maintenance plan. Whether you run an office, retail store, or industrial facility, maintaining a clean environment is crucial to fostering a positive work atmosphere and staying competitive in Melbourne's dynamic business landscape.
