Screening and Dehydration

Drug screening is important when it comes to protecting the health of your employees. One of the common workplace hazards on a hard labor jobsite is dehydration. Of course, in warm weather, many employees drink a lot of water, anyway, but it still may not be enough. In air conditioned dry weather, your workers may still not be getting enough water?

How can you tell?

Water is necessary to hydrate the tissues, but all humans need both oil and water in their daily hydration consumption. So, does this mean you should pass out a lot of French fries and onion rings? Not necessarily. Fortunately, there are other ways of making sure they get both oil and water for their bodies while at work.

First of all, set a good example in both areas. Natural, unsaturated fats like butter, cream, milk and cheese help the body to absorb the oils it needs to offset all the water it will be drinking. This is always a good way to get the oil side of oil and water. Filtered water out of a dispenser is how many offices take their water, although people are starting to buy flavored water and spritzers in bottles now, so sometimes even that can be customized. Setting an example by consuming both oil and water around your employees helps them to feel okay about treating their bodies better.

Secondly, providing a combination of water and juice encourages healthy drinking throughout the day. In addition to that, you can provide snack foods, like biscuits and fried toast which possess real butter and other healthy fats which will combine with the water to develop optimum tissue health and cell flexibility. This suppleness and flexibility of the cells is what keeps us young and what helps us withstand injury and sickness without any long term effects.

Drug screening also helps, since it identifies employees who are sick in the body as well as sick in the mind. Addiction cuts into all parts of a human, from emotions to physical wellbeing to mental clarity and perspective. Workplace drug testing evaluates which employees are truly taking care of themselves and which are harming themselves. Look into our services today: (+61) 1300 79 70 40.
