11.01.2022 According to research, FIFO workers are significantly more likely to be overweight than other workers. But food is not the only contributing factor.

MEC Mining recently shared this article with their tips to keep fit while working FIFO. https://www.mecmining.com.au/fifo-fitness/ #WIMARQ #WomenInMining #FIFO #Health #Mining #Resources
