Healthy Environment

Most people want to live in a healthy environment. What does this consist of? So many things affect us every day. Here are some ideas to help improve our environment:

Good Work Utah.com

Good Work Utah.com promotes public and private efforts to achieve equal employment opportunities for all qualified Utahns with disabilities. They are there to foster cooperative working relationships between state agencies, public and higher education, providers, and organizations to address workplace preparation for transition-age youth and other adults with disabilities. They are there to insure that every individual has the opportunity for training and education to prepare for the workforce.

Second Hand Smoke

Eliminate potential legal fees. Employees can file lawsuits against your company if they feel that they are being exposed to second hand smoke. Eliminate claims based on violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Tobacco Free Workplace

Providing resources to help your employees quit using tobacco is the single most effective health benefit you can provide to your employees.

Tobacco use results in massive costs to the state as a whole and to employers in particular. Smokers consume more health care resources, experience greater job absenteeism, and tend to be less productive while at work. The estimated costs to the health care system for treating smoking-related illness are more than $369 million in Utah. Tobacco cessation reduces your employee's risk of getting lung cancer, heart disease, heart attack, and upper respiratory infections. Reducing the risk of these diseases will reduce health care costs. www.TRUTHAgainstTobacco.com
