Uniforms, caps, or other clothing worn solely to identify a person as an employee would not be considered PPE

Who pays for your PPE? - the business has to pay for PPE

Explain the different types/range  of basic PPE that is available in the workplace. 

Level A is the one where the most PPE is wanted, Level B focus on the respiratory system instead of the skin and eyes, Level C is there is little to no threat to the skin and eyes. Workers call for a full- or half-face mask that will feed them air from a respirator. Opting for Level C PPE products gives you the same degree of skin protection as Level B PPE, Level D Level D is considered the minimum line of protection from hazardous environments. No air respirator is necessary for Level D working conditions.

KiwiSaver

 

This is about advertisment for kiwisaver and how it could prepare you for your future!!

KiwiSaver 

The basic equation for your KiwiSaver is simple.

The fund consists of contributions made by you, the government, and your employer, plus or minus investment returns, minus any withdrawals you make, and finally any fees or taxes that apply. 

For most members, KiwiSaver is work-based, meaning their contributions are taken directly from their pay.

You can easily adjust your work contributions with the help of your employer, selecting to contribute either 3 percent, 4 percent, or 8 percent of your income.

If you’re not working for an employer, you can contact a provider instead, and decide to pay contributions directly to them, after agreeing on an amount.

Any KiwiSaver member, work-based or not, needs a provider. These are the private companies that manage the schemes available to you, and are in charge of the second part of the equation above – the investment returns.

It’s important to keep in mind that KiwiSaver is not guaranteed by the Government, which means the choices you make about which provider to invest with are made at your own risk.

Many people tend to focus on the fees associated with a scheme, but paying close attention to the investment portion of your KiwiSaver will ensure that it’s working best for you.

So what about the third part of that equation, withdrawals? In most cases, you won’t be able to make any until you turn 65, the required age for NZ.

There are a few conditions that may allow you to make a withdrawal, including buying your first home, permanently leaving the country, or suffering serious financial or health difficulties.

Market Day And Review

Wednesday 23rd September we had a market day at Hornby high school. My group sold panikeke, we were supposed to sell chips as well but our deep fryer fell threw last minute. Our weaknesses were: poor communication, lack of effort and being unorganised.
Poor communication - We had poor communication because we didn't really talk about our plan for market day or who was bringing what. we also didn't really talk on the day about who was staying at the stand for what times so I ended up staying by the stand for the whole day selling things. I think next time to work on this we would need to either have a group chat of all the members or actually talk about things before and on the day. 
Lack of effort - On the day we only had 3/5 members actually show up. Even tho I only jumped into the group three weeks before market day I still tired my best. I do think that everyone in the group could have done better on the day and actually work as a group instead of just one person doing everything. Next time I think we could all try a bit harder and work together. 
Being unorganised - on the day we didn't have any of the stuff we needed other then  that it was pretty good and in the end at least we were able to sell out and make a profit from what we sold
