Workplace Wellness: Starting with Diet and OSHA Training

Maintaining good physical and mental health is crucial for workplace safety.  A healthy worker is a safer worker, less prone to injury or illness.  A healthy lifestyle improves focus and overall well-being.

 

Good In, Good Out

 

Maintaining a healthy mind and body is especially important in hazardous work environments.  We encourage healthy eating habits and awareness of the resources available through safety training.

 

Proper Diet is Essential

 

Improving your health begins with diet.  Eat a balanced diet providing sufficient calories and essential vitamins to maintain a healthy weight.  A healthy diet is fundamental to a productive workday.

 

To improve workplace diets, avoid these common unhealthy choices:

 

- Daily coffee and doughnuts

- Junk food lunches

- Candy bar snacks

 

Replace these with healthier options: fruits, vegetables, and healthy lunches.  This simple change significantly benefits your health and well-being.  Here are some examples of healthy choices:

 

- Healthy breakfast

- Pack your lunch instead of eating junk food

- Fruits like oranges, plums, and pears as snacks

 

A healthy diet is a key component of workplace safety.  Consuming fruits, vegetables, a healthy breakfast, and packing your lunch are excellent steps toward a healthier body and mind.

 

For more information on occupational safety and health, visit OSHA's website.  Many states, including Nevada, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, and Missouri, require OSHA 10-hour construction safety training.  Consult the Department of Labor for specific legal requirements in your state.  Safety and health professionals can assist with registration for the appropriate OSHA 10-hour safety program.

 

Training

 

Remember the old adage:  You are what you eat.  Proper diet is a foundation for overall health and safety.
