of Africans balancing load on their heads, health and safety.

 Africans   balancing load on their  heads .health and safety.

By Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth,London,England

Concerned individuals, organizations or governments 

 need to,perhaps,help  stop africans on the continent  from

Balancing or having  loads on their heads.  

The head is not meant to be under the strain of any load rather

 it is meant to contain the brain and the brain is there for us all

To think amongst other functions,

If we stop africans from having loads on the head,they  might be

 Encouraged to come up with inventions or innovations that help 

to move a load from point  A  to point B.

I particularly want to mention women in nigeria on construction sites

They are usually recruited to climb up and down  stairs or incline with 

pans of  wet concrete on their heads. This should not be happening

In a world of levers,pulleys and engines in the 21st century,

         And health and safety wise, blouses and wrappers as won by

 women are inappropriate for construction sites,  The women on 

construction sites like men need to put on helmets,

Hi vis ,reflective jackets,special shoes that protect 

the toes,steel top toes and gloves where necessary.

they should be made to wear the standard top and 

trousers for construction sites.
