Free health checks
WorkHealth will be offering free, quick and confidential WorkHealth checks on all three days of Safety in Action - a health and safety trade show to be held in Melbourne from 17-19 April, 2012. You can sign up your workplace for the free checks at workhealth.vic.gov.au.
The checks test for risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, two of the most common yet preventable chronic diseases, and take just 15 min.
The checks include a brief lifestyle survey together with measurement of blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and waist circumference. Results and advice on healthy lifestyle habits are provided on the spot. WorkHealth is an initiative by WorkSafe Victoria to reduce the impact of chronic disease in the Victorian workforce.
