Concept
Health and safety at work refers to measures taken to protect workers from risks of injury or illness during work performance.
Routes of Entry for Contaminants
- Inhalation: Affects the respiratory system.
- Dermal: Includes the entire skin surface.
- Digestive: Includes the digestive tract.
- Mucosa Absorption: Penetration through the eye’s conjunctiva.
- Parental Via: Penetration through a break in the skin.
Types of Factors Causing Accidents

Endurance: Definition, Factors, Training, and Importance
What is Endurance?
Endurance is the ability to sustain a prolonged effort without showing signs of fatigue or to delay the onset of fatigue for as long as possible. It involves the capacity to perform better or recover from an activity more quickly.
Types of Endurance
- Aerobic
- Anaerobic
- Alactic: Near-maximum intensity for a short duration, producing waste products
- Lactic: Maximum intensity for a short duration, producing waste products
Factors Determining Endurance
1. VO2 Maximum
VO2 max is the maximum volume

Chi Kung: A 10-Day Weight Loss Method
Introduction
Chi Kung is an ancient Chinese practice that involves controlling energy through respiration. It has been used for centuries to improve health and well-being, and recent research has shown that it can also be effective for weight loss.
How Chi Kung Works
Chi Kung works by regulating the body’s metabolism. When the metabolism is slow, the body burns calories more slowly and stores more fat. Chi Kung exercises help to speed up the metabolism, which can lead to weight loss.

Sensory Receptors: The Foundation of Sensation and Perception
Sensation: The Gateway to Sensory Experiences
Sensation, the fundamental building block of our sensory experiences, arises from the activity of sensory receptors that allow us to perceive stimuli from both our internal and external environments (Goldstein, 1988). It involves the mere reception of information, enabling us to respond to stimuli.
Types of Sensations
- Exteroceptive Sensitivity: Stimuli from the external world and external body qualities
- Interoceptive Sensitivity: Information from the internal
