Risk101

Just returned from a weekend in Bali for work and I must say that I had a bit of culture shock, being a health and safety professional for over 15 years! The traffic was crazy, the safety standards not quite where other countries are at. Great to experience other cultures to help put risk into perspective. Viewed some gorgeous scenery and learned some amazing history (once I got over the culture shock) 😂 Jes x (at Seminyak Beach, Kuta Bali)

Computer says no! Online #NAPLAN plagued with technical problems. Power failures, freezing, browser issues and interrupted internet connections have plagued initial trials of the new online NAPLAN tests, principals report. A survey reveals 23 per cent of primary school principals, who are among those administering the online test for the first time next year, will not be up to the task by May 2017. They are still grappling with basic challenges such as maintaining power and an internet connection, with a survey of nearly 200 principals finding an alarming 84 per cent faced problems with technology during initial trials of the test. One school was forced to connect all devices by extension cords to maintain power on the students' devices, posing a safety problem for students and supervisors moving around the classroom.

They stood their ground and refused to publish a photo, citing child pornography, but after a massive social media outcry they changed their minds. . Progressive or buckling under social media pressure? . Many businesses face an element of social media pressure and have to quickly decide if they hold their ground or rapidly change to conform to what society wants. . Do you have a plan b?
