HSE is important in the oil & gas industry. Therefore, I provide a list of precautions to take against transmitting diseases as a reminder for all of us. As taken from The Star dateline 2009-04-29:
- Covering your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or handkerchief when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the waste basket after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also helpful
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people. – If you get sick with influenza, stay at home and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Consult your nearest healthcare facility if you think you have any of the symptoms.
The online list makes more sense then the one in the papers, as that is more for general health, and very little to do with avoiding the flu.
And to scare y’all into paying attention:
| Name of pandemic | Date | Deaths | Subtype involved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asiatic (Russian) Flu | 1889–90 | 1 million | possibly H2N2 |
| Spanish Flu | 1918–20 | 40 million | H1N1 |
| Asian Flu | 1957–58 | 1 to 1.5 million | H2N2 |
| Hong Kong Flu | 1968–69 | 0.75 to 1 million | H3N2 |
