How to treat minor firecracker related burns?

“The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of about 2,000 F, this is hot enough to cause melting of gold and third-degree burns.”

Following the safety tips we mentioned in our previous post will help you take precaution while bursting fire crackers; however accidents can occur despite all your care. Here are some things you can do if you get a minor burn from fire cracker:

- Immediately run the burn under cold water for atleast 10 minutes. You can also place a cloth dipped in chilled water. Do not put ice or butter on the affected area as it will cause more pain, than provide relief.

- While doing so remove any jewellery or clothing from the affected area.

- Once cooled, cover the burnt area with a clean cloth of sterile gauge.

- Aloe vera can be used later after the initial treatment. Aloe vera has soothing properties which reduces the chance of forming blisters.

- If you don’t have aloe vera, you can also use raw potato or coconut oil to soothe the burn.

Open House for all Employees at Vesuvius

On 24th August, 2016 we organized an open house at our client, Vesuvius’s factory in Kolkata. The objective of this event was to ensure all staff have a thorough understanding of Provident Fund, ESIC and HR policies. They had the opportunity to clarify any doubts and we ensured that all documentation was collected and updated relating to staff legal compliance.

The event was attended and appreciated by our client Mr. Anirban Roy and Mr. Nasim Ali.

Corporate Social Responsibility

As part of our CSR activity for the previous quarter, we had our facilities team provide cleaning service to the Ballugunge Municipality School, Kolkata on 27^th August, 2016. A team of 10 boys swept the school clean!
