It has been a long time since I visited Tampa. If my memory serves me right, it is about eight years now when I last visited Tampa. It has been a great city trip. Tampa is such a great city. The transformation of the city is very magnificent. For me Tampa is a city of skyscrapers. This is evidently manifested by the gigantic and colossal buildings of the city. In particular, you would appear diminutive when you are at the foot of 100 North Tampa. The building is extremely colossal in bulk and towering in height. It is regarded as the tallest building in Florida. Next to Miami, Tampa has the greatest number of tall buildings. When I toured the city using a car from tampa car hire, I could not help but get amazed in the skyscrapers that line Downtown Tampa. Cars are like ants under gigantic mushrooms.
The architecture of Tampa is equally admirable. You would surely appreciate the aesthetic and engineering aspects of the buildings construction. Mr Brist Lamp, an architecture critic, said that most of the tall buildings in Tampa exemplify the post modern architecture. He cited in particular, the Tampa Museum of Art as a classic example of architecture that reflects the post modern architecture style. Equally admirable in structures include the Tampa Bay History Center and the Tampa Children’s Museum which we easily cruised using the car from tampa car hire.
If you are planning to go to Tampa, do not miss to visit its conventions and theatres. They are not only world-class for its state of the art facilities but they are also a great place to learn any things. It is an educational venture.

USING SAFETY SIGNS: AN APPROACH TO ENSURE WORKERS’ SAFETY
Our law on labor requires that there be a safety and health officer to oversee full time the overall management of the construction safety and health program. Such a requirement should be duly complied with by companies if they want to ensure overall safety of their workers and to possibly avoid sanctions by the state. It is the duty of the general construction and safety officer to monitor and inspect any health and safety of the construction work being undertaken in a periodic manner. Here are the frequent observations of safety inspectors of the Labor Ministry in as far as compliance with safety measures are concerned:
Mandatory requirement on the usage of personal protective equipment prior to entry to the project site. This is the frontliner sign of the workplace, without which people’s life and limb are at danger. When workers enter the project site, it is a requirement that they wear protective gear and equipped with safety gadgets to ensure their security while working.
Location of fire alarms and fire fighting equipment. Most frequently workplace fails to place safety signs regarding the use of fire alarms and fire fighting equipment. The location of these tools should be made conspicuous and placed in the strategic locations of the premises of the workplace.
Instructions on the usage of specific construction equipment. Warning devices and safety signs must be used to accompany the instructions on the use of specific construction equipment. But perhaps due to false assumption that workers are already technically proficient in the use of instrument, they no longer place instructions on the use of these construction equipments.
Signages must be regularly inspected and maintained in good condition. Safety signs not properly maintained are not really functional. They must be kept in good condition as far as practicable.
Signages that are damaged or illegible or that no longer apply should be removed and replaced by the safety officer, as needed.
