Good evening steemians. I trust that everyone is doing well. Today I woke up at 4:00 am to offer voluntary prayers ( This is not part of the five daily prayers offered by Muslims). After the prayers , I ate my fasting food. By 4:50 am , I went to the mosque to offer prayers and returned home at 5: 20 am.

I hurriedly prepared myself for work. I left the house at 6:12 am and got to the workplace at 6:50 am. I quickly went to the change room to pick my working clothing and my personal protective equipment and went straight to the workshop.

Today happen to be my turn to chair safety meeting at my workplace. Safety Meeting is a routine activity we perform in order to be alert to prevent accident or injury to anyone at the work place. Though we discuss the safety together and work in a team but we are responsible for our own safety.

In fact safety cannot be compromised considering the consequences which are involved if you violate any of the safety rules.

The topic for discussion was " Compressed air lines, clothing ,personal protective equipment and hearing". I elaborated the following points to my colleagues.

1 . Always bleed air from cylinders and tanks before begining repairs

2 . Never place your finger over small hole in an airline . The pressure could puncture your skin

3 . Do not direct compressed air at yourself or another person

4 . Do not wear loose or torn clothing that could become entangled in moving machinery

5 . Keep cloth free of oil and grease.

6 . Use earplugs or other appropriate hearing equipment in designated areas.

After the safety meeting, I went to the training room . Today I had exams to write so I took the training module and read through before the exams commence. At 10:20 am , I was done with the exams.

I had training under Pipe fittings right after the exams. I learnt the various methods used to connect Pipes to transfer fluid or air in our various homes and industries. I got to know that , pipe are used to transfer liquid or fluid over long distance whiles Tube is used to transfer fluid over short distance. The training lasted for an hour and 30 minutes.

At 12:00 pm, my colleagues went to the canteen to take their lunch while I was in the training room. I used the free period to read through my module. I am in the month of Ramadan so I can only eat when the sun set at 6:20 pm . The lunch lasted for an hour so by 1:30 pm, another training started.

The area or field of the training was " Arc Welding" . I was introduced to basic welding including all the electrical and safety aspect of it. I learnt how to identify different types of electrode which is used for welding.

I also learnt how to connect welding machine , handle welding handpiece and finally weld a piece of metal together. Though it seems simple but it is much challenging considering the Arc and Sparks that emanates from the welding process. It was good experience I gained today . I hope to get more experience as I keep on with the practice .

I was tired when I got home so I did not plan to do anything again.
