Workplace Ergonomics: Top Ten Tips for a Comfortable Workstation

The right workstation is critical for creating a safe and healthy work environment and can have a huge impact on all employees, especially those with a disability. The UK has a long tradition of health and safety legislation, but recent figures from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) show that 28.2 million working days are lost due to work-related illness or workplace injury each year. How we set up our workstations might be partly to blame for this.

Occupational Sun-safety Policies Examined for Colorado Workers

Outdoor workers are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation, often during the course of many years, and are at increased risk for skin cancer and ocular (eye) damage. Sun-safety policies have the potential to increase sun protection and skin cancer prevention remains a national priority. Workplaces are ideal locations to promote sun safety because many outdoor workers fail to use sun-safety practices, according to the study background.

You’re Driving Yourself to Burnout, Literally

Commuting length, distance, and means are stress factors that can lead to burnout, reports a new study. The research offers no surprises: the bigger the city, the more stressful the commute, at least for people travelling by car. However, people commuting towards rural areas are not entirely spared: those who take long trips in public transit feel less effective in the workplace.

Workplace Intervention Improves Sleep of Employees’ Children

A workplace intervention designed to reduce employees’ work-family conflict and increase schedule flexibility also has a positive influence on the sleep patterns of the employees’ children, researchers report.

Oil and Gas Industry Worker Death Rate Down by a Third

Even as the oil and gas extraction industry in the United States boomed, there was a decline in the rate of worker deaths, a new federal government study shows.

From 2003 to 2013, the oil and gas extraction industry workforce more than doubled and the number of drilling rigs increased 71 percent, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety said.

During that time, the number of oil and gas extraction industry worker deaths rose, but there was a 36 percent decrease in the rate of worker deaths.

Teaming Up Against Heat Hazards

Increased water breaks will increase employees’ performance. Employees need to be alert not only for their own safety, but for the safety of their co-workers, as well.

The Most Important Issue of Your Vision Protection Program

Make sure you have asked the right questions. And if you do not have time or do not want to do the dirty work, ask your safety committee to do this, they typically will be glad to help out.

Tips for Protecting Construction Workers’ Eyes in the Summer

Many workplaces implement guidelines above and beyond OSHA’s for the types of eye protection to be used based on the specific hazards that are present.
