Safari Tips For You
Mosquitoes:
Since favorite safari locations are in the tropics and more particularly in the savanna grasslands,wet rainy forests of Central Africa and in the Amazons which are natural breeding grounds for mosquitoes and are rife with potential health hazards of vector borne diseases like Malaria and Dengue.More daunting is the fact that health institutions are located at some great distances away from these natural game parks and can prove a nerve wrecking experience should some calamity occur.So,take sufficient stocks of antidote against possible common diseases that prevail in these areas.Malarone, Doxcycline, Mefloquine and Chloroquine are the commonest medications prescribed against Malaria.To be extra-safe and if adults accompany their kids ,take along mozzie-repellent shampoos ,soaps,lotions and sprays.
Crawlies:
These game parks are the habitat of some of the deadliest snakes on earth.Precautions are all important.If you dare step on the grass,have your feet well protected with the safari boots.If you encounter a snake,back away quickly.If bitten by a snake ,administer necessary firstaid and rush the victim immediately to the nearest hospital.It is normally presumed that hospitals in these areas have ample supplies of anti-venom treatment.
Creepies:
Most game lodges supply nets and window coverings against creepies.But check your shoes ,you’d have most likely squished a scorpion or some deadly spider unawares.Check under your bed ,under the pillows and especially in the toilet for its moisture as they can easily creep their way through the water outlet.When going out for a bush walk,wear long trousers,boots and socks to avoid picking such hitchhikers.
Ticks:
They are common and live in the bush.Tick bites are treatable,but be quick in removing the tick no sooner you locate them.Removal of the ticks must be done in a way that you’ll not bury its head in the skin.Use a tweezers to grasp the head and gently remove it.
Safety on a game drive:
A land rover with a guide and his gun will be placed at your disposal.You’ll have to follow the rules .Listen to the guide.They are experienced with the ways of the wild and know animal behavior and their movements during the day. When you’re in sight of animals observe silence and rolling of cameras should appear unobtrusive with no flash lights.
Keep your hands to yourself.Do not stretch your hands outside the vehicle when traveling through as you may brush against objects and injure yourself.Also do not lean out and try to touch animals as they can retort with anger and injure you.Remain seated because your movement can scare the animals.
Safety on a self-drive safari:
Same rules apply as when you’re on a public road.Don’t yank your head out of the window to avoid being hit by some protruding object.A flat Tyre can pose a frightening prospect in these jungle stretches.See if you can flag down another vehicle coming down your way for help.Besides the spare,check that all tires of the vehicle are of good condition before you drive away.
Always observe the speed limits within the park as they mean a message for your own safety.
Help maintain the game environment by not polluting it.Don’t throw away leftovers such as food,containers or any other form of rubbish.Animals can get used to human eats and might start scavenging for them.
Don’t rev your engine ,hoot or flash your lights as they can scare and tempt the animals into a stampede and causing damage to your vehicle and its passengers. At the first sight of agitation,hurriedly make your exit.
Safety in a game walk or at a look out point:
This should be done only with the explicit knowledge of a guide.Also don’t dare swim in the calm and lucid pools of water that you’ll come across along the way ,being naturally oppressed by the sultry conditions around as they can be heavily infested with parasites and even life threatening crocodiles.

Gore Tex Footwear Technology Improve Comfort in Military Boots
W.L.Gore & Associates,Inc. has introduced a footwear technology for the U.S. military with optimized breathabilty in extended climate ranges specifically designed for hot climate conditions.Gore-Tex-Extended Comfort Footwear protects feet from exposure to rain and inclement weather,while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the boot,keeping feet dry and more comfortable.Boots made of this construction also pick up less water and dry out faster,in addition to reducing boot weight.
Unlike other jungle and hot weather footwear ,boots with this new technology have proven to provide protective and breathable comfort.Lab tests showed that these new boots retained 90% less water than comparable boots and that bresthabilty over time is excellent.In field tests ,participants perceived that these boots kept feet as cool as both currant desert boots and the temperate leather weather boot.
This new technology provides the opportunity to have one pair of boots for the widest range of climate conditions.According to Bill Candy, Gore’s North American footwear product specialist,Gore works closely with each manufacturer as each boot design is developed.Candy explains,’We work with our customers to deliver the best product for their intended application ,which in this case was to increase the comfortable climate range ,particularly on the warm to hot side,of waterproof boots.We also work with customers to understand their requirements ,develop a solution and test the final design to ensure that each product meets the unique environmental challenges that the military is faced with today.

How to choose the right shape shoes for women
* Chiropodists recommend that when buying sandles to choose one with a strap round the back or heel of your foot as it is far more comfortable when the strap is around the big bones than trying to expect the small ones in front of your foot take all the pressure when walking.
* To avoid pinching and blistering and feel more comfortable always buy your summer and holiday shoes one size more than your winter shoes.
* Buy shoes in the late afternoon when your feet are at their largest,as your feet can expand as much as half a size.
* Don’t hesitate or be afraid to spend your time trying shoes in the shop.Walk up and down ,rock on your heels and do a few twirls to ensure a correct and comfortable fit.
* Leave about 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch between your longest toe and the inside end of your shoe.Make sure your toes have enough room to lie flat,without being jammed up.
* To avoid abrasion and blisters,the heel of your foot should sit comfortably in the shoe with a small amount of room made available for slip age.
* Go for a shoe style that enables the shape of your foot.Don’t choose long pointed-toed shoes if you have wide toes as they can pain your feet and choke your gait.
* Just as with clothes you’ll find that you require different size shoes depending on different manufacturer’s cuts and fits.
Always consider your body shape together with legs and ankles.If you’re short with chunky legs,try to avoid an ankle strap,which will serve to make your legs look bigger and uglier.If you’ve big feet,avoid very dainty shoes,but don’t go over the top with heavy women’s shoes either.
Timberland to use ion-maskTM technology in new footwear styles
Users can’t see or feel ion-mask TM because it is one thousand times thinner than a human hair,however, because the protection layer is molecularity bonded to the whole shoe surface it is extremely durable.In practice ion-mask TM lasts as long as the shoe material itself and is not compromised by everyday flexing during wear.Plus,by resisting the absorption of water,ion-mask TM helps guard against stains and dirt residue.

Selecting the right footwear
The development of safety shoes solution has increased significantly over the past 20 years with the development and utilization of a range of footwear technologies and materials.The result is there has been as many safety shoes solutions to choose from as there are today.
In many ways however , as safety shoes has become more technical and provided a greater range of protection ,comfort and performance,the selection process for the health safety manager or employer has become a potentially more complex and time consuming task.
When previously there were relatively few parameters to consider-size,style,levels of physical protection required ,today there are a wide range of potential safety shoes solutions available.
The end result of this growth in technology is positive-as protection and comfort have been increased.But if we are going to reduce slip ,trip and general foot related accidents in the workpalce, there needs to be commitment to investing more time in solution process.
The challenge in making an impact on slips and trips lies not just in highlighting and understanding the risks and hazards but in finding the right footwear solution to counter those hazards.
Where safety shoes is concerned too many people still think about physical performances and not enough about wider considerations- such as the work place environment ,the substances the feet will come into contact with,the way in which people work and what sole unit designs and materials will provide the most effective grip.
Effective footwear selection is about matching performance needs to the workplace hazards.
The range of hazards include -physical,chemical,thermal,trip,slip,crush, puncture,impact,liquid spilled on a surface.
Enviornment is about if people are working indoors or outdoors,in a wet or dry enviornmnet or a combination of both ?
Ergonomics are people on the feet all day.Does their work involve high flexing ,bending or climbing or constant movement or does their job involve them standing still for long periods?
Only when you combine all these elements together in the identification and selection process will you really find the right safety boots solution.Whilst a mass of industries will have the same physical hazards as a construction worker crush,puncture slip as examples,however the environment in which they work will differ radically as will their most effective safety shoes solution.
So we must look holistically at the wearers needs .It is not good enough to simply undertake a risk assessment and tick the protection box,hoping that that the ergonomics and environmental issues will take care of themselves.
And that’s where the investment in time need to be made:
This approach applies to every element of the selection criteria.I
f there is slip issue the sole unit has to be relevant to the environment in which it will operate.Failure to do this could actually increase the risk of slip and trip taking place. A sole unit that provides excellent slip resistance for the food sector will not be fit for use in the construction sector, despite the fact that the hazard is the same. It will be environment and ergonomic factors that will ultimately drive the selection process.
Business has to asses the risks, environment and ergonomic requirements of their workers,balancing their needs together to come up with the right solution if the threat of slip and trip is to be further reduced.
