Advocating for your total worker health programme in 2018

Sponsored content
Open-access content Friday 17th November 2017
From the archive:  Just so you know, this article is more than 3 years old.

Total Worker Health programmes are becoming increasingly popular among forward-thinking organizations across Europe and for good reason: it's no longer enough to just protect our employees from hazards, we as HSE professionals also need to improve their overall health and well-being in the work environments we create.

While this may seem straightforward, many Total Worker Health initiatives don't always go as planned, for two key reasons:

Lack of Buy-In

Often, leadership teams don't recognize the value that initiatives like Total Worker Health programmes can bring to the organization. Reduced workplace risk and healthier, happier employees directly translates into operational improvements and ultimately, higher growth and profitability. The challenge is that without securing leadership buy-in and commitment, your Total Worker Health programme will struggle to have an impact on the rest of the organization.

Failure to Integrate

For Total Worker Health programmes to truly thrive and advance worker well-being, your health and safety policies and procedures need to be fully integrated into your overarching workplace wellness programmes. An example of this could be integrating your occupational health and HR data systems to enable easier measurement and tracking towards quarterly HSE goals.

Learn More

To learn how to overcome these common Total Worker Health challenges, join Pamala Bobbitt, Director of Product Marketing and Channels at Cority, and Trevor Bronson, HSE Industry Analyst at Verdantix, for a webinar on Advocating for Total Worker Health on December 7, 2017.

Attendees will learn:

  • New and emerging trends in Total Worker Health
  • How to get buy-in across your organization to launch an integrated Total Worker Health programme
  • Practical tips for running a Total Worker Health programme that drives positive outcomes
  • How to leverage technology to manage and measure Total Worker Health

 Construction traffic management - risk reduction

Wednesday 29th November 2017
Add to this, the further risk to site visitors and members of the public and the range of vehicles that could be involved, such as cars, vans, lorries, low-loaders, and mobile plant such as excavators, dumpers, lift-trucks and such statistics increase considerably. What makes the situation worse is the fact that many such accidents could be prevented through effective management of construction vehicles and transport operations on site.Duty of care

 New DuPont Tychem garments offer improved hazard protection and comfort

Friday 3rd November 2017
One major innovation is the Tychem® 6000 F FaceSeal, a tight coverall that features an integral rubber seal around the hood aperture. Designed to provide a perfect fit and tightness when wearing a full-face mask, this is the garment of choice for applications where liquid leaks may be a particular hazard. As well as providing protection for the wearer, the FaceSeal eliminates the need to use supplementary taping, which saves time when donning and doffing the garment and could therefore improve response times in emergency situations.
