Can one bring a fire extinguisher at workplace?

There shouldn't be a problem with bringing a Fire Extenguisher TO work, considering it has been tested and will be the right type of extenguisher needed at the location.Types of Extenguishers:A: Paper, Wood, CombustablesB: Flammable Liquids (Gas, Grease, etc.)C: Electrical FiresD: Industrial fires with combustablesK: Kitchen Fires (involving combustable cooking materials)(I got the types & uses from another answer Imade)Also please check with employer first though before you do so.


How can you make a fire with only one stick?

Twist a fine piece of steel wool into a 'string.' Touch each side to opposite ends of a battery, and it will spark and ignite. Flint and steel You can also use a magnifying glass to focus the heat of the sun or you could just use a lighter. You can also use a bow to spin a stick of wood rapidly to produce heat, the same effect can be obtained by rubbing a stick rapidly against another piece of wood. There are hundreds of ways to start a fire without matches. Swedish Firesteel or BlastMatch are very popular. However, the most reliable way to do it without tools or supplies is by using a bow drill (using the hand drill described above gets you blisters more often than an ember for a fire). You don't need a knife to make one and can use your shoelace for the bow string. It usually takes 30 mins to an hour the first time you use one. But, it can save your life if you get lost.


Who is to blame for the problems in your life?

Ourselves.. Because we look for a magic pill to solve our problems. The understanding of the problems lies it's dissolution..AnswerYou. Never blame others for your own problems. I believe people have bad luck sometimes, but it is always up to you to change the outcome. AnswerMan always leaned upon their own understandings instead of looking at how the out come my affect others. Each action we do, plays a huge part in our life and it's up to us if we are willing to make the right changes. answerthere can be more than one answer here. Satan, you, and God. Satan always wants to hurt you, especially if you don't belong to him, You can make bad decisions and hurt yourself, God allows things to come your way to build your character. If you invite Jesus to be Lord of your life, nothing will ever happen to you without it getting by God first, and if it does, you can be sure some how, some way , it is for your good. Another PerspectiveAsking who is to blame is the wrong question. It doesn't matter. What matters is what you are going to do about the problems in your life... how you are going to face them and overcome them. Problems come to everyone... some we can avoid and some we can't, but the point is, we need to face those problems, learn from them, and improve our lives because of them. If we stand around arguing about whose fault it is, we are letting them control us, rather than the other way around. Yet Another Prospective...Blame is like trying to back out of an accident after it happens. You cannot change the past. You CAN choose the future. You can spend your time after the accident making things worse by ruminating and trying to recreate the past. Or you can spend the time trying to make what happens next...better. You do this by replacing blame with taking responsibility. Unless you are trying to win a court lawsuit, blame is not constructive, it is really just drama and ego defense in action.My philosophy is this: "Everything that happens to me in my life is the result of some decision (big or small) that Imade at some point along the way, that ultimately affected the outcome." Think about it...AnswerSometimes you just have to let go .. and look up , and see that the order of things in this world is still growing like a little child. Another AnswerI think you should be asking yourself that because sooner or later you're going to come to the conclusion that everybody fears to hear and learn... It's all your fault. you choose the path you take (of course unless you live with your demanding parents. but even then you can choose your path). People ask this question to try to relieve themselves of the responsibility because they cant handle it.... but rarely there is someone else that is at fault, but if you let them continue then it will only be your own fault. As i see it people may think God or The Devil have something to do with this... but they don't. God watches over you and is there when you need to talk. the devil eggs you on but doesn't force you to do anything, he lies and tells you things to TRY to make you go to the bad path. but you make the decisions and if you let the devil control you it means you're weak and need time. Just think about it somewhat like the poem "the road not taken" by Robert Frost:TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.And you can make a difference... a difference for good. and not committing anything bad so you wont have to blame anyone else for things you choose and remember: "Don't regret something that once made you laugh" .... or smile, love, etc, etc


What is the relationship between private nuisance and negligence?

Negligence, Nuisance and Rylands v Fletcher:The struggle for simplicity continuesThree years ago, the leaders of this august organisation were rash enough to ask me to address you on the topic of negligence, nuisance, and Rylands v Fletcher, and inparticular on the inter-relationship of the three torts. Obviously because no oneunderstood it then, I have been asked to repeat the lecture today, perhaps in the vain hope that my new job may have given me the ability to make comprehensible what was left incomprehensible last time. I regret that their hope in this regard ishopelessly misplaced.Before I begin, I want to say that I think this is a very important topic for theinsurance industry because the fact situations which give rise to possible claims innuisance and Rylands v Fletcher frequently involve insurers, usually on both sides.My other introductory comment is that I appreciate that I am speaking to a mixedaudience of both insurance company officers and insurance lawyers. This addresswill be pitched at the level of the insurance company officers and the lawyers will justhave to try to keep up.I realise from looking at the list of attendances which Frank Rose gave me that, while many of you were here when last I addressed you, there are also many new faces. In those circumstances, I should perhaps begin today by summarising briefly what my thesis was 3 years ago. The intention then is to see whether any of my predictions as to the future development of the law in this area have come true.The theme of my address 3 years ago was the need for simplicity in this area of thelaw of torts. Tort law has become far too complicated. There is a need for clearenunciation of simple principles. I also tried to persuade you of three rules of thumb.They were:• There will never be a case where a plaintiff will succeed in Rylands vFletcher without also succeeding in nuisance.• There will rarely be a case where a plaintiff would succeed in nuisancewithout also succeeding in negligence.• The old action for liability for the escape of fire is now to be determined asa negligence action.In particular, in formulating those rules of thumb, I referred to what were then tworecent cases, one a decision of the House of Lords Cambridge Water Co. v Eastern Counties Leather plc [1994] 2 AC 264, and the other a decision of the High Court of Australia, Burnie Port Authority v General Jones Pty Ltd (1994) 179 CLR 529.Although both those decisions have approached the issues with which I am concerned today somewhat differently, both were certainly consistent with my three rules of thumb.Well, what has happened since then? The first general point to note is how manynuisance cases there have been, especially in New Zealand and the UK in the last 3years. That in itself indicates that the struggle for simplicity is not yet won. Wherethe law is clear, where the principles are clear, there are usually few cases. That isbecause factual disputes against a clear legal framework are generally settled. Thenumber of cases coming through and the nature of the arguments being addressedsuggest that the highest courts have not articulated clearly enough what the principlesshould be. Nuisance is not an area like negligence where the fact situations varyhugely. The fact situations in the nuisance are relatively confined. It ought to bepossible to make clear principles governing their legal resolution.A second point I should make is that you should be very wary of what I say today.People who specialise in an area and then publish their views, as I have done in thisarea, tend to view all developments in their area against their own theories. Caseswhich don't fit the theory are either skewed to make them fit or ignored or declaredwrong. So be wary of that.The final general point I would make is that you will find me somewhat morecautious and subdued than I was 3 years ago. That is because I do not want to adopt such an extreme position today that I am prevented from ever having the opportunity to determine a nuisance case. This concern is not far-fetched. There is a recent decision of the Scottish High Court of Justiciary which sounds warning bells to judicial officers who speak or write extra-judicially. In the case concerned, Hoekstrav HM Advocate [2000] TLR 298, the Scottish High Court was concerned withwhether a judge who had sat on a criminal appeal should have sat. The appeal inquestion had involved drug dealing and the point in the appeal had turned on aparticular right said to have been conferred on the accused by the EuropeanConvention on Human Rights. The appellate judge had written an article on theEuropean Convention which had used imagery overwhelmingly negative to theConvention. The judge, in his article, had painted a picture of the Convention assomething that threatened danger to the Scottish legal system. In the article, the judge showed that he was hostile to the idea that persons who were suspected by the police of being drug dealers should have rights of privacy, including a right against covert surveillance, under the Convention. The Scottish High Court held that, because of the views expressed by the judge, he should not have sat on that appeal. The tone of the article was such that it gave rise to a legitimate apprehension that the judge could not deal with such an argument impartially. The Scottish High Court of Justiciary ordered that the appeal had to be heard afresh by a new panel.So that is a cautionary tale for all judges about the need for moderation in whateverthey may say extra-judicially.Well, enough by way of background. I want to look at four New Zealand cases andtwo English cases. The purpose of my enquiry is to alert you to recent developmentsin this area which may have implications for insurance companies. The secondpurpose is to see whether the rules of thumb hold true.The first case with which I wish to deal is Autex Industries Ltd v Auckland CityCouncil [2000] NZAR 324. When I spoke last time, this case had just been sent off to the Court of Appeal by Master Kennedy-Grant. I expressed the view that the claim for summary judgment in Rylands v Fletcher must surely be doomed. That prediction proved true.The facts were very simple. An Auckland City Council water main burst some 8metres from Autex's premises. Water caused damage to Autex's premises, plant,equipment and stock. Autex sued the Council in respect of its losses. Two causes ofaction were pleaded. The first pre-supposed strict liability. The second pleadednegligence. In respect of the first cause of action, Autex sought summary judgment.Autex argued that this was a Rylands v Fletcher case; therefore negligence did nothave to be proved.The Court of Appeal divided. The majority ruled that the case was not appropriate for summary judgment. The majority left open what the law should be in this area. They said that whether the old case of Irvine & Co. Ltd v Dunedin City Corporation[1939]NZLR 741 should continue to be followed needed appropriate evidence which wasnot before them. The Court of Appeal said that there should be expert evidence as to the likely economic and social implications of alternative legal rules. The courtshould not make these public policy decisions simply relying on intuitive assessments.I agree wholeheartedly with the majority on that point. Defence lawyers far too oftenattempt to strike out pleadings at the cutting edge. It is usually much better to run thecase and have a solid foundation of fact, including appropriate expert evidence, before one determines in which direction the law should move.The minority judgment in Autex would have allowed summary judgment to beentered. The minority disagreed with the High Court of Australia in Burnie. Theminority was persuaded by Professor Fleming's well-known defence of a claim instrict liability for activities which present an abnormal risk. I regret to say I find theminority's judgment unconvincing. Professor Fleming has lived most of his life inCalifornia while continuing to write successive editions of his Australian text on torts.Living in the United States has influenced him greatly in this area of the law becausethe United States has embraced a doctrine of strict liability for extra-hazardousactivities. That doctrine has never formed part of English law or New Zealand law. Itwas expressly disavowed by the House of Lords in Read v J Lyons & Co. Ltd [1946] AC 169. This is not the place for a detailed discussion as to why a theory of strict liability for extra-hazardous activities should not be adopted. That was, after all, the view of only the minority. In my view, it would be a retrograde step for us to go down that line.In summary, therefore, Autex leaves the question open as to whether New Zealandwill follow the High Court of Australia. Autex is certainly not inconsistent with mythree rules of thumb. At the same time, it does not provide support for them either.Autex subsequently settled. I would question whether anything was achieved by theattempt to get summary judgment. A case involving only $200,000 was bound tosettle and would have settled without an expensive foray to the Court of Appeal.The second case to which I refer is Langdon v Bailey, a very recent decision ofPanckhurst J, decided on 8 September: unreported, AP3-00 (Timaru Registry). Thefacts were simple. Mr Bailey was driving his truck along a public road. Sparks fromit caused a fire in the tinder-dry vegetation on the roadside. The fire then spread toMr Langdon's farm and caused damage to trees, fences and pasture. In the DistrictCourt, Mr Langdon's claim for damages failed because the judge found that it was not foreseeable that the truck would emit sparks and cause a fire. Mr Langdon's appeal was dismissed.Mr Langdon's argument was that the District Court Judge had been wrong becauseliability should have been found in private nuisance and liability in private nuisance isstrict. Panckhurst J dismissed the appeal on the following grounds.First, private nuisance is essentially a tort concerned with competing interests in land.Mr Bailey was not using his land in any particular way: he was merely driving downthe highway. The heresy of Mahon J's views in Paxhaven Holdings Ltd v Attorney-General [1974] 2 NZLR 185 and Clearlite Holdings Ltd v Auckland City Corporation[1976] 2 NZLR 729 has finally been put to rest. On this point, Panckhurst Jundoubtedly was correct.Panckhurst J's second point was that nuisance requires some 'repetitive activity which causes damage to the plaintiff's land or his enjoyment of it'. With respect, Panckhurst J was not correct on that point. It is well established that there can be liability in nuisance for a one-off act which causes damage.Thirdly, Panckhurst J held that, assuming the cause of action in nuisance wasavailable, which, of course, he had found it was not, he would still have concludedthat the judge's finding concerning foreseeability was fatal to the claim. On thattopic, Panckhurst J was quite correct. It is now well established beyond any doubt that there cannot be liability in nuisance unless the harm was reasonably foreseeable.The result in Langdon v Bailey is support for my second rule of thumb: 'There willrarely be a case where a plaintiff would succeed in nuisance without also succeedingin negligence.' Mr Langdon failed in negligence because the harm was notforeseeable. He failed in nuisance for exactly the same reason.The third case to which I wish to refer is another decision of the Court of Appeal:Hamilton v Papakura District Council [2000] 1 NZLR 265. In this case, the Papakura District Council distributed the local town water supply. Watercare Services Ltd. provided the water. Mr and Mrs Hamilton, who were hydroponic growers of tomatoes, owned three properties on which they had greenhouses. Two of the properties were serviced by the town water supply. The tomatoes at those two properties began to show symptoms of damage, including leaf curling and burning.Other growers in the area were similarly affected. The tomatoes at the other property did not show any signs of damage. The Hamiltons issued proceedings against the Council and Watercare. They alleged that there were toxic herbicide residues present in the water. In the High Court it was held that the Hamiltons had not proved on the balance of probabilities that there were toxic herbicide residues present in the water.They appealed to the Court of Appeal. Their appeal was dismissed.First, the Court of Appeal held that the harm that occurred was not on the factsforeseeable. That was enough to dispose of the claim, whatever tortious cause ofaction was relied on. Again, the case provides strong authority for the propositionthat there will be no liability in Rylands v Fletcher, nuisance or negligence unless theharm that occurred or harm of that type was reasonably foreseeable. The case alsoestablishes that there is no difference in the foreseeability test between nuisance andnegligence. The moment one states that as a proposition, one realises that it is absurd to continue talking about nuisance or Rylands v Fletcher as strict liability torts. They are not.Secondly, the case is very important in that it confirms that Rylands v Fletcher wassimply an example of a nuisance claim. Hamilton provides strong support for my first rule of thumb: 'There will never be a case where a plaintiff will succeed in Rylands vs.Fletcher without also succeeding in nuisance.' The corollary of that rule of thumb, of course, is that there is no point in having separate causes of action pleading Rylands vs.Fletcher and nuisance. The case is also supportive of the second rule of thumb that there will rarely be a case where a plaintiff would succeed in nuisance without also succeeding in negligence. In this case, the Hamiltons failed in negligence. They also failed in nuisance.It is true that the Court of Appeal said that negligence is not an element in a nuisanceaction. In one sense that is a correct proposition. But, for the reasons I explained inmy earlier paper, it is a mistake to think that nuisance is a better tort from theplaintiff's perspective than negligence. Nuisance comes to the same result asnegligence but by a different form of words. It is tempting to repeat the argument Imade on this topic 3 years ago because I remain convinced that it is right. But in theinterests of time, I will press on.Hamilton is apparently going on appeal to the Privy Council.The final New Zealand case to which I wish to refer is Varnier v Vector Energy Ltd, a decision of Salmon J decided earlier this year: unreported, CP 82-99 (AucklandRegistry), 16 March 2000. The facts were interesting. Mr Varnier and Ms Ravell had an interest in a unit in Birdwood Crescent in Parnell. In 1998, following the power crisis in the Auckland CBD, Vector erected the emergency power lines which are still such a blot on our landscape. These emergency power lines run very close to Mr. Varnier's unit. The plaintiffs alleged that the power lines emitted electro-magnetic fields in excess of acceptable levels and that as a consequence the unit could not be occupied for residential accommodation because occupants suffered headaches and general unwellness. It was also said that electronic equipment within the house, such as television, telephone and computers, were interfered with. The claim was brought in nuisance, trespass, negligence and Rylands v Fletcher. Vector applied for summary judgment on the grounds that none of the claims could succeed. Salmon J dismissed the application for summary judgment. The case should proceed to trial. It subsequently settled, which is why I can talk about it safely. It appears from the judgment that a principal argument was whether Vector had a defence of statutory authority. The defence was said to arise from s 62 of the Electricity Act 1992. Salmon J referred to the guidelines in Todd, The Law of Torts in New Zealand (2nd ed, para. 9.6.2) as to when statutory authority could provide a defence in tort. He concluded that he could not be satisfied that the immunity would extend to protecting the line company from liability for this sort of damage. Again, with respect to defence counsel involved in this case, it shows the folly of unnecessary pre-trial applications.I now wish to look at two interesting English cases. The first was Hunter v CanaryWharf Ltd [1997] 2 All ER 426, a decision of the House of Lords. The case isinteresting from a New Zealand perspective, partly because our very own Lord Cooke of Thorndon sat in the House of Lords - it was one of the first cases in which he did sit - and also interesting because in part he dissented. There were two appeals heard together. In the first appeal, the plaintiffs claimed that their homes were within a shadow area for television reception caused by a tower block nearly 250 metres high and over 50 metres square, which was built by the defendant developer. They said that the television reception in their homes had been adversely affected and they claimed damages in nuisance. The issue in that case was whether interference with television reception was capable of constituting an actionable private nuisance. In the second appeal, the plaintiff residents, not all of whom were householders, claimed damages in nuisance against the defendant development corporation, London Docklands Development Corp, for the deposit of substantial quantities of dust from the construction of a road near their properties.Both cases came before the House of Lords on preliminary questions. In thetelevision case, the House of Lords held that interference with television receptioncaused by the mere presence of a building was not capable of constituting anactionable private nuisance. Subject to planning control, a person was free to build on his or her own land unrestricted by the fact that the presence of his or her buildingmight of itself interfere with neighbours' enjoyment of their land. More was requiredthan the mere presence of a neighbouring building to give rise to an actionable private nuisance. It followed that the plaintiff's claim in the television action was dismissed.On that action, all their Lordships were united.The result must be right. The defendant had used their land entirely lawfully. Therewas nothing unreasonable in what they had done. You may say, 'Well, it's a bit tough on the plaintiffs who couldn't watch the tele', but as Lord Goff of Chieveley pointed out, there is, at least in London, the ready availability of cable television. As well, there is satellite television. And indeed in the presence case, the problem waseventually solved by the introduction by the BBC of a new relay station.In the dust action, the issue was, who is entitled to sue in nuisance? There were alarge number of plaintiffs. Some of them were householders - freeholders, tenants.Some were licensees. Other plaintiffs were people with whom householders sharedtheir home, for example spouses or partners, or children or other relatives. All ofthem were claiming damages. Who could sue? At first instance Havery J held thatonly those with a right to exclusive possession of the relevant property could sue. The Court of Appeal disagreed. The Court of Appeal held that, provided the person was in occupation of the property as a home, he or she had capacity to sue in private nuisance. The House of Lords held by a majority that the Court of Appeal was wrong and that Havery J had been right. Lord Cooke dissented. I would hope in this country that our courts would follow Lord Cooke's dissent. His view is certainly in line with most academic commentary and also with some other New Zealand decisions. Lord Cooke referred extensively to academic writings on this topic. That provoked a rather snaky response from Lord Goff:'Since preparing this opinion, I have had the opportunity of reading in draftthe speech of my noble and learned friend, Lord Cooke of Thorndon, and Ihave noticed his citation of academic authority which supports the view thatthe right to sue in private nuisance in respect of interference with amenitiesshould no longer be restricted to those who have an interest in the affectedland. I would not wish it to be thought that I myself had not consulted therelevant academic writings. I have, of course, done so, as is my usual practice;and it is my practice to refer to those which I have found to be of assistance,but not to refer, critically or otherwise, to those which are not. In the presentcircumstances, however, I feel driven to say that I found in the academicworks which I consulted little more than an assertion of the desirability ofextending the right of recovery in the manner favoured by the Court of Appealin the present case. I have to say … that I have found no analysis of theproblem; and, in circumstances such as this, a crumb of analysis is worth aloaf of opinion.'So take that, you academics!The final case to which I wish to refer is Lippiatt v South Gloucestershire Council[1999] 4 All ER 149. In this case, the defendant council owned a strip of land whichfor 3 years was occupied by a group of travellers. The plaintiffs, who were tenantfarmers of adjacent land, brought proceedings against the council in which theyalleged that the travellers had frequently trespassed on their land, obstructed access to a field, and carried out various activities on it, including dumping rubbish, leavingexcrement, and tethering animals. They alleged that the council had been aware ofthe travellers' presence on its strip of land and had tolerated it. The council moved to strike out the claim on the grounds that it had no prospect of success. The EnglishCourt of Appeal held that the claim was arguable and must go forward to trial. TheCourt of Appeal held that an occupier of land could be liable in the tort of nuisancefor the activities on his or her licensees, even though the particular acts may havetaken place on the plaintiffs' land. The point was that, on the alleged facts, thedefendant council had let people gather on its land. It was that act of tolerating theirpresence and not forcing them to move on when complaints started coming in thatpotentially rendered the council legally liable in nuisance. There was in fact an oldcase on very similar facts to this: Attorney-General v Corke [1933] Ch 89. In myview, that case was correctly decided and would have been similarly determined inNew Zealand.My conclusion, therefore, based on these cases - and they are merely a sampling ofcases in this area in the last 3 years - is that my rules of thumb remain intact. Thepractical consequences of these rules of thumb are these.1. There is no point pleading nuisance and Rylands v Fletcher as separate causesof action.2. If you don't think you'll get home in negligence, settle. Don't think nuisancewill save you. The end result of the nuisance case is likely to be exactly thesame as the end result of the negligence case, even if the way the judgeexpresses his or her reasons may differ slightly. The essential elements are thesame in any of these torts: Did the defendant cause the harm? Was the harmreasonably foreseeable? Did the defendant act reasonably? Was thedefendant at fault?3. Nuisance remains a separate tort even though the result will usually be thesame as in negligence. It remains essentially a mechanism for resolvingdisputes between neighbouring land occupiers. The exact nature of thepossessory interest plaintiff and defendant must have is in some doubt in NewZealand and presumably will not be finally resolved until our Court of Appealcomes to consider the majority's views in Hunter.from: hussain.farhat@gmail.com
