Theme

As the worlds economy is facing a downturn, many organizations have taken the step to forsaken safety and health as a cost cutting measure.

This measure not only has turned the workplace into an accident prone area but it has as well collapsed businesses.

Safety and health is in fact part of the solution of this growing problem. It has been proven and documented as a business advantage because a

safe workplace indirectly increases productivity and increased productivity increases the financial output of an organization. Hence, the theme

for BOSH 2011, A Business Advantage : Safety and Health Issues At the Workplace.

NIOSH Updates : Volume 4, Number 19, 2011OSH INFO:

Overview

Air Fresheners are a common commercial product used to create a pleasant smelling and clean indoor atmosphere in homes

and businesses. They are known to contain a number of different chemical agents in order to neutralize offensive odors andcreate a more pleasant scent. The basic ingredients in air fresheners are formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, 1,4

dichlorobenzene and aerosol propellants. Recently many of these chemicals have been investigated for their safety. Some

common chemicals found in air fresheners have been found to be toxic to humans and may increase the incidence of many

different health problems. Natural and healthy air fresheners are now being used as alternatives to conventional air fresheners

in order to minimize health hazards and environmental pollution.

Best Practices

Enhance Ventilation - Good ventilation systems reduce the need for air fresheners by eliminating the need to mask odors and

naturally eliminates unpleasant odors. Air fresheners cannot substitute for good ventilation.

Minimize Air Freshener Use - Air fresheners only mask the offensive odors and do not remove them. Avoid using air

fresheners as often, but when necessary use as little as possible in order to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals in the

air. Air fresheners should only be programmed to run if needed and should only be used for odors that are unable to avoid.

Use Natural and Safe Air Freshener Alternatives - Many products are available that offer healthy alternatives to commercial

air fresheners. Organic soy and beeswax candles, natural potpourri, fresh flowers or herbs, natural essential oils,

environmentally friendly non-aerosol pump sprays, and baking soda are all safe alternatives. Businesses that are looking to

find non-toxic air fresheners should investigate available products to ensure their safety. Currently, regulations do not requiremanufacturers to list ingredients or require them to perform health and safety testing. Businesses and consumers should be

aware of this and should take time to find air fresheners that are known to be safe.

Use Low-level Phthalate Air Fresheners - Use air freshener products known to have low levels of phthalates and other

hazardous chemicals present in order to reduce potential health risks. Most products do not have labels that inform consumers

of the presence of toxic chemicals. Consumers should be aware that the majority of air fresheners contain at least a low level

of these dangerous chemicals and should understand that they are using them at their own risk.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes (also known as diabetes mellitus) is a condition in which the body either can't make or can't use insulin properly.Insulin is a hormone normally produced by the pancreas. Insulin is very important because it regulates the sugar level in the

blood, and it allows the body to use this sugar for energy. Without enough insulin, the body's cells can't get the energy they

need, the sugar level in the blood gets too high, and many problems can result. Diabetes is not curable, but, fortunately, it is

treatable.

There are two main types of diabetes. They are known as type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes (also known as juvenile-onset

or insulin-dependent diabetes) usually affects children and young adults. People with type 1 diabetes can't make insulin, so

they need to take insulin shots to stay alive.

Type 2 diabetes (also known as adult-onset or non insulin-dependent diabetes) is much more common than type 1 diabetes.In fact 90-95% of diabetes is type 2. This type of diabetes is more common in people who are over the age of 40 and

overweight. It also tends to run in families. People with type 2 diabetes make some insulin but either it's not enough, or their

bodies just aren't able to use it properly. Many people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood sugar with diet and oral

medication, but some people also need to use insulin shots.

There are many complications that come from diabetes and poor blood sugar control. People with diabetes can develop

nerve problems, kidney disorders, blindness, and severe infections. They also have a higher risk of coronary heart disease,

stroke and certain cancers, like pancreatic and uterine cancer. Each year almost 200,000 Americans die from diabetes and

its complication.

Another Type of Diabetes: Gestational DiabetesAbout 3-5 % of women develop diabetes during pregnancy, called gestational diabetes. Usually a temporary condition that

goes goes away after giving birth, gestational diabetes can nevertheless cause problems for both mother and baby. Some

complications include certain types of birth defects, abnormally large babies, and an increased risk of caesarian section.

Even if the diabetes disappears after the baby is born, women who have had gestational diabetes also have a greater risk

of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

How common is diabetes?

Diabetes is very common in the United States. Almost 16 million people have it, and the numbers are growing. Most people with diabetes

have type 2.

Who is at risk of diabetes?

Anyone can develop diabetes, but most people that have diabetes are adults over the age of 40, and the risk increases with age. African

Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders are at higher risk of developing diabetes compared to whites. Also,

people who are overweight, inactive, smoke or have family members with diabetes are at a higher risk.

How can you lower your risk of diabetes?

There are things you can do to reduce your risk of developing diabetes:

Maintain a healthy weight

Get regular exerciseDon't smoke

Eat a healthy diet that focuses on whole grains and "good" fats (like olive and canola oil)

Who should be screened?

Screening for diabetes is very important because millions of people have this disease and don't know it. Everyone age 45 and older should

have their blood sugar checked by a doctor at least once every 3 years. People who are at higher risk may need to be tested earlier and

more often. Screening is easy with simple blood and urine tests that can have important benefits. If you find out you have the disease, you

can take steps to treat it and prevent complications.

What are the symptoms?Some people develop symptoms like strong thirst, increased feelings of hunger, frequent urination and wounds that don't heal. However,

many people with diabetes have no symptoms. That is why screening is important.

Factors that increase a person's risk of Type 2 diabetes but cannot be changed include:

Age and diabetes

The risk of type 2 diabetes increases with age, and it is most common in people over the age of 40.

Personal history of diabetes or high blood sugar

People who have had problems with high blood sugar in the past may be at higher risk of developing diabetes. Women who have had diabetes

during pregnancy (called gestational diabetes) are also at higher risk of developing diabetes later in life.

Family history and diabetes

A person with a close relative who had diabetes has a higher risk of developing the disease. This increased risk is probably due to a combination of

shared genes and shared lifestyle factors.

Race and ethnicityType 2 diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders, compared to whites.

Most risk factors for diabetes can be modified to reduce risk, either through lifestyle changes or through medication, if needed.

These include:

Weight, waist size and diabetes

The risk of Type 2 diabetes goes up as body weight increases. This is especially true for people who carry extra body fat around the waist (called

"apple shaped"). Extra weight affects the body's sensitivity to insulin and it also puts extra strain on the whole body, increasing the risk of heart

disease, stroke, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Maintaining a healthy weight has been proven to decrease the risk of cancer of the colon,kidney, breast and uterus.

Tobacco smoke and diabetes

Smoking increases the risk of diabetes. Smoking can increase blood sugar levels and decrease the body's ability to use insulin. It can also

change the way the body stores excess fat - increasing fat around the waist, which is linked to diabetes. The damage that tobacco chemicals doto blood vessels, muscles and organs may also increase the risk of diabetes.

Tobacco exposure also increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, emphysema, bronchitis, osteoporosis, and

cancers of the lung, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, lip, mouth, tongue, larynx, throat and esophagus. For many people, quitting smoking is

the single best thing they can do to improve their health.

Physical activity and diabetes

Exercise is one of the best ways to help maintain a healthy weight, a key factor in lowering the risk of diabetes. Exercise also helps the body's

cells use insulin effectively, which makes it easier to control blood sugar levels. In addition, exercise also helps prevent other diseases such as

heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, and colon cancer. Even just 30 minutes of moderate exercise (like walking) daily can decrease your risk ofdisease.

Diet and diabetes

Diet can be a powerful tool for lowering the risk of diabetes. The best approach? Eat a diet that focuses on whole grains, cereal fiber, and liquid

vegetable oils and limits refined starches (like potatoes and white bread).

Alcohol and diabetes

Moderate alcohol (about one drink a day for women and two for men) has been shown to decrease the risk of diabetes compared to non-

drinkers. Limited use of alcohol may also decrease the risk of developing heart disease. However, it is not recommended that non-drinkers start

drinking. Alcohol use has many of its own risks like increasing blood pressure, body weight, heart failure, addiction, suicide and accidents.

People who limit their use of alcohol also have a lower risk ofcolon cancer, and breast cancer.

safety engineers, along with the authors nearly 30 years of experience helping companies improve

instructions and warnings, this how-to book covers every aspect of developing state-of-the-art

product manuals and safety warnings. Filled with examples that show how good manuals andeffective warnings can add value to your companys products and build repeat business, while at the

same time reducing liability exposure, the text demonstrates how to create manuals that give

products a competitive edge and improve customer satisfaction. Solidly grounded in research, but not

a stuffy academic treatise, this down-to-earth, practical book is a survival guide for writers in the real

world of short deadlines and tight budgets.
