Workplace Health
Programs - Working For Your Health
During 1999, a variety of
workplace health initiatives were delivered in
Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. In January and
February, a Smoke-Free Works campaign was
offered to 16 large industries. Ten industries
used the Women & Tobacco and Tobacco Facts
displays and handouts. The Health Unit’s
Workplace and Reproductive Task Force hosted a
Work and Pregnancy workshop with facilitators
from two other health units. Twenty-two local
participants received current resources and
strategies to facilitate a healthy pregnancy
outcome in the workplace.
From May to August, Summer Active ’99
promoted physical activity to all large work
sites in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. A pilot
project was initiated at both 3M sites in
Perth and Brockville. Active Living in the
Workplace displays, materials and fitness
breaks were provided.
In September and October, a breast health/
breast cancer awareness campaign was again
offered to all 16 large work sites.
Information materials, displays and
presentations were provided.
