Healthy adults 50 years and older should get the shingles vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) recommends a Td (tetanus, diphtheria) booster shot every 10 years. A lot of companies offer a flu shot clinic as part of their wellness programs to employees and sometimes they even extend that to their employees’ families. The flu vaccine should be received every year before the end of October when flu season starts. But vaccines aren’t just for children, and educating employees on their benefits could make all the difference for a healthy workplace. Some employees may be vaccine-hesitant and their beliefs may cause them to object to the idea of vaccines. Vaccines save up to 3 million lives each year.

When it comes to the human body, water regulates body temperature, lubricates joints, cleanses the body of toxins, and even helps with fatigue, memory and mood. Summer months like August increase the risk of dehydration, especially if you’re working outside. One thing that wasn’t fully discussed in the July toolbox talk post was an issue that applies to all industries, all jobs, and all people-hydration. There are also several other pertinent topics to consider covering in your safety talks and discussions, including the following. In the month of August, you could definitely use some of the July topics (if you didn’t use them already) as the warm summer months share a lot of the same hazards. They can be delivered in less than 15 minutes, and a lot of ground can be covered by delivering several toolbox talks on different topics every month.Īs noted in our previous post on Hot Topics for Toolbox Talks in July, many people struggle to find the right topics for delivering toolbox talks.

That process was a growth moment for me, on so many levels as a man,” he told the publication.Īccording to Cannon, he and Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt are actively taking steps to educate others and combat hate with their “2 Hate or Not 2 Hate” podcast. “Man, I’m going to be super honest with you, man.
