Hello there, this is Goke Akingbade( your Safety guide). In this day and age we are in, it won't take you long below you see a guy or a lady driving his or her car and simultaneously making a phone call or receiving one while he or she is on the steering wheel. Others go to extent of texting while driving. We live in the era of android tablets, IPads.

NOISE (A SILENT DESTRUCTIVE HAZARD)

NOISE (A SILENT DESTRUCTIVE HAZARD). Merry Christmas everyone, this is Goke Akingbade (your safety guide). Sorry for being away for a long time,It’s the demand of the industry that I work in. Part of what makes us human and alive is our sense of hearing. The ability to differentiate a particular keynote from another one and sound in general.
