25.01.2022 Whilst yes, it is Summer, and Australia is known for its extreme temperatures at this time of year, parts of the country are dealing with a scorching heatwave, bringing with it temperatures of up to 46 degrees Whilst I cant complain sitting here in an air conditioned office, many of the countries tradies and other workers are out in the elements dealing with this uncomfortable heat. According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, 35C to 40C is considered to be the limi...t of high temperature tolerance for most people. Employers have a duty of care to provide a healthy and safe workplace. If you are working in areas affected by these extreme temperatures ensure you keep well hydrated, look to reduce physical activity if possible, look for shade/shelter to help reduce exposure to the sun, take regular breaks when needed, SLIP, SLOP, SLOP, and where possible try to avoid working outside during the hottest part of the day which is usually around noon to 3pm.

24.01.2022 World Environment Day World Environment Day, today June 5, is a day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment. The focus this year is Air Pollution. We urge governments, industry, communities, and individuals to come together to explore renewable energy and green technologies, and improve air quality in cities and regions across the world.... Many sources and industries contribute to Air Pollution, including agriculture, Households, Industries, Transportation, and waste. Air Pollution fact: 92 per cent of people worldwide do not breathe clean air! It is up to all of us to do our part to minimise pollution and save help our planet.

22.01.2022 Text Neck is the new Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Have a look at any bus terminal, train station or airport and all youll see are faces buried into smart phones and tablets. Whilst modern technology is an amazing thing and it does allow us to remain connected to friends and loved ones, or allows us to stay connected to work outside of business hours, it is creating a global epidemic and an increase in repetitive strain injuries.... The constant repetitive action is not healthy for the body, and can cause chronic headaches, shoulder/neck pain, and in some cases a curvature of the spine. How can you minimise the risk of text neck? Be aware of your posture. Take regular breaks from smart device use. Try looking down, rather than bending neck.

16.01.2022 Thank you Blue Tree Project for bringing this to the publics attention. Suicide is the leading cause of death in Australians aged 15 - 44 years. This is just frightening! Its up to all of us to help get the message across that there are support groups and networks you can turn to in your time of need.... Check on your mates, your neighbours and your family members.
