Bootstrapping Your Way to Success
There is no more accurate American descriptive phrase of the rags to riches success then: “He pulled himself up by his bootstraps”. The pioneers, backwoodsmen, cowboys, whalers and other prototypical American hero classes all possessed an air of courage, self-reliance, and belief that they could beat the odds. They are wonderful samples of entrepreneurs at the most elemental level.My favorite method of starting a business, launching a product or service is the old fashioned, do it myself, Bootstrapping. The ability to bootstrap a startup eliminates so many of the hurdles normally confronting the entrepreneur. Raising money, building inventory, dependence on support from others and assembling fixed overheads is mitigated when you bootstrap your new venture.My first two startups were both completely bootstrapped. I had no outside investors, no on hand inventory: my home was my office, factory and warehouse. I made a product prototype, only one. That was all I could afford, but I made sure it was production quality.Then I hit the road. I made presentations to department store buyers, non-stop in geographic loops from my home in Cincinnati. After four weeks of presentations and living in cheap motels, and a few nights sleeping in the car, I returned with a fist full of purchase orders. I then took the orders to New York, along with my business plan: everything buttoned down and detailed, for presentation to factors.A factor is a financial firm that extends working capital to companies based on history, experience and assets. I had none of these. But I did have a unique product,

Introduction

Technical treatment of different textile materials is laid down blizzard to the world. In this globalization of science and technology, new technologies like fine chemicals, optical fibers, high polymer plastics, resins, temperature-resistant textile fibers, fiber-reinforced composites etc have proved improved alternative in the form of technical textiles and has updated the blueprint of production; consumption and trade in a considerable way.

Utilisation

Besides traditional textile practicing, technical textiles are used by various industries like advertising banner, automobile, agriculture, aviation, civil engineering, chemical, leather, horticulture, medical, mining, petroleum, packaging, pharmaceutical, electrical, environment protection, food processing, furniture, printing, rubber, transportation, protective and safety clothing etc.

It covers safeguard against cuts, nuclear, biological and chemical hazards, high voltages and static electricity and other types of harsh effects covering stab wounds, explosions, abrasion, ballistic, fire and extreme heat, dust and particles. Hence, there is a requirement to safeguard the sensitive machinery and equipment by means of cleaning the rooms or stores and provided it with covering and also to protect the employees by providing personal protective equipment according to the workplace.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

According to European Council Directive 89/856/EEC protective clothing is that: by an individual any tool or method intended to be put on or held for protection against one or more health and safety hazards in the execution of the user's activities is called Protective Personal Equipment and in short form it is called as PPE. To trim down the possible hazards significantly for the individual worker, PPE is the ultimate protective application after the whole planning, training and procedural efforts.

There are three types of personal protective equipment according to hazard/ risks involved:

. Low risks Personal Protective Equipment: This falls under category-I: Low risks or general personal protective equipment like simple gloves, head gear, footwear, sun glasses, traditional work wear etc.

. Medium risks Personal Protective Equipment: This falls under category-II type: Medium risks.

. High Risks Personal Protective Equipment: This falls under category-III: Like respiratory/lung related equipment for fire fighter, protective gloves against very high temperatures etc for very risky operation of works.

PPE Program for safety purposes

At the place of work frequent causes of main hazards are in the form of:

. Mechanical harm
. Soaring elements/ fine particles generated during the process
. Heat, concentrated light, sound and dust
. Radiation, germs, chemical wastes, gaseous pollution
. Unpleasant weather / Unconditional workplace

While considering or implementing PPE program and to come across these risks one has to review and analyze the type of involved risks and take required steps accordingly. Though many changes take place at the work place frequent review is a must.

In any organization hazardous / risks are drop off in the following ways:

. Abolishment - Fist and fore most is to eliminate hazards or hazardous work practice at the place of work itself is an important step, which can bring down the risk.

. Replacement - Substitute a risky or hazardous work practice with a less hazardous place one.

. Segregation - People who are not educated/ informed in the work place, short out the hazardous practice / areas as Danger Zone.

. Engineering - It covers some alteration in the apparatus or providing protector to machinery.

. Awareness/ Training Program - This covers training to increase the awareness to reduce the risks at the work places.

. Personal protective Equipment - It should be applied only when other control measures are not possible, or to increase protection, this is the last but not least acceptable alternative.

The application of PPE is inevitable in some methods or practices. Protecting eye with goggles, face with shielded covers, legs with whole / special shoes or boots and head with hard hats are these types of equipment where the workers must have to wear all the times due to the sudden exposures. But there is no any alternative instead of wearing personal protective equipment.

Protective Clothing

From a plain apron to particular application outfits, there are so many availability of protective clothing. To protect in following particular surroundings protective clothing garments of particular fabricated PPE are manufactured.

. Fire / Flames

. Nuclear infectivity
. Mechanical harm
. Electrical (Static Electricity) / Electronics Industry
. Freezing or low temperature
. Ballistics
. Emission of radiation / Radio active emission
. Bacterial/Viral
. Chemical/Gas

Respecting Employee Privacy Rights in the Workplace When Using Video Surveillance
The loss of employee privacy rights in the workplace is a growing concern among employees, attorneys, and civil libertarian groups. Although employers in banks, telecommunications, securities exchange, in hi-tech industries, and in other workplaces justify using video surveillance in the workplace to monitor employee behavior to chiefly promote safety, improve productivity, and stop theft, protecting employee privacy must be a top concern. For if the courts find that the employer’s surveillance methods are less than fair, that firm may find itself knee-deep in lawsuits that could have been prevented.Employers install hidden surveillance cameras for many good reasons (preventing theft, promoting productivity or protecting employees) that in some cases will intrude upon employee privacy. Legal observers and human resource specialists who study workplace privacy believe that employee privacy intrusions are more common than previously observed, and that they will increase every year.According to a 2005 survey conducted by the American Management Association, more than half of the companies surveyed use video monitoring to prevent theft, violence and sabotage (51% in 2005 vs. 33% in 2001). In addition, the number of companies that use video surveillance to track employees’ performance has also increased, with 10% now videotaping selected job functions and 6% videotaping all employees. Among firms that use video surveillance, 85% notify employees.As more and more employee groups become aware of how they are being watched, the more likely they will take their employers to court.ng the rooms or stores and provided it with covering and also to protect the employees by providing personal protective equipment according to the workplace.
