CHR Newsletter - January 11, 2018

The quality of CHR's services and the services provided by the clinics in our network is very important. Thank you for your feedback and support. Our clients say it best...

"I would verify that the overwhelming majority of occupational health professionals support CHR's excellence, integrity, credibility, and contributions to occupational health services delivery."

Avoiding Icy Slips and Falls


Although some parts of the country are enjoying a (temporary) respite from the deep freeze and heavy snow they've been dealing with, winter is far from over. Walking on icy surfaces and removing snow both present fall hazards. The U.S. Department of Labor offers these winter safety tips.

Prevent the Flu: Get Your Flu Shot


It's official, the influenza virus has made its way back to North America and it has no plans of leaving anytime soon. The flu virus infects millions of Americans from November through March with January and February being the most active months. While the flu may seem like "just a seasonal bug," it's far more dangerous.

Develop Simple, Regular Habits to Break Up Prolonged Sitting


It can be a challenge to figure out how to reduce sedentary behavior. People who spend long hours sitting at a desk can enhance their health significantly by making a few simple changes to get on their feet, according to a new study by researchers at Western University in Canada.

Feel Anxious? Have Trouble Sleeping? You May Be Traveling for Business Too Often


People who travel for business two weeks or more a month report more symptoms of anxiety and depression and are more likely to smoke, be sedentary and report trouble sleeping than those who travel one to six nights a month. Employers and employees should consider new approaches to improve employee health.

Use of Mobile Devices at Home Can Carry Conflict to Workplace


Researchers have found that using a mobile device at home for work purposes has negative implications for the employee's work life and also their spouse. That extra time spent on mobile devices after hours might not be worth it if the grief it causes results in productivity losses once the conflict is carried back to work.

Smokers More Likely to Need Spinal Surgery


Smoking increases the risk of lower back pain that needs to be fixed by spinal surgery, a Swedish study suggests. Researchers focused on a common cause of lower back pain known as lumbar spinal stenosis, which occurs when the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.

The Toxic Chemical Whack-a-Mole Game


A growing number of scientists, advocates, parents and public officials are urging a fundamental shift in how society restricts toxic chemicals - moving away from a one-at-a-time whack-a-mole game to instead targeting whole classes of chemicals.

How to Counter the Circus of Pseudoscience


Countering the online health gurus is especially difficult when they offer the irresistible cocktail of medical language muddled with a much more pleasing aesthetic than medicine, far from the clinical world of linoleum and antiseptic, a better place where patients' conditions are diagnosed with metaphors.

Occupational Health Research Round-up: January 2018


This month's round up of occupational health research studies includes research on good line management and sickness absence among younger workers, and discrimination against mentally disabled workers during vocational rehabilitation.
