Couldn’t agree with the premise of this more. Many of my female friends that are pregnant say it’s very hard to control the cravings for things that aren’t necessarily healthy.

It is great to see programs like PUSH teaching the younger working generation about occupational health and safety. It sounds as though your workshops were a success and this may be something to look into for employers and employees across the nation. Thank you for sharing.

I agree with Michael, the only thing I would say is I think it runs deeper than just obesity. Glucose feeds cancer cells, we live in a country where 35% of the people around us will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. The diet is always ignored in the cancer discussion.

It is great to see so many resources for “Health Problems Related to Shift Work.” Our constantly on the go culture has made many employees worked while sleep-deprived and fatigued. This can be a risk on the job, results in lowered productivity levels, and can cause major health problems in the long run.

Workplace safety isn’t all just about physical safeguards. We need to incorporate mental health into the idea of a safe workplace. Having options for employees to deal with their stress whether it being having dedicated break/relaxation areas or better channels of communication to discuss stress, organizations need to work to ensure that their workers are both physically and mentally safe on the job.

It is interesting to see how organizations are utilizing the power of social media for safety communications. This is especially important for our young workforce who is habitually plugged into social profiles. Creating safety messaging that can be promoted across social channels helps connect with the younger workforce who, as it may be their first job, need to be able to fully understand the importance of safety training and communication.

“Seemingly minor forms of workplace aggression really can matter.” Employers should establish clear chains of communication between employees and their superiors and encourage an open conversation regarding workplace stresses and any aggression or workplace violence. Being aware of a situation helps to identify the problem right away as well as identify a solution.
