Don't blend in, stand out with camo!
There's no hiding in a uniform like this! Not only will you be supporting our troops with this distinct camouflage pattern worn by service personnel, but with each camo scrub that is purchased, White Swan Brands will make a donation to a troops support organization! How cool is that?!

National Safety Month: Week 3
Prevent Falls
• Secure electrical cords
• Be sure to have good lighting
• Clean up spills quickly
• Keep floors and stairs clear
• Wear proper shoes
More than 8.7 million emergency room visits each year are due to slips, trips, and falls. Most times, falls are preventable. There are many risk factors, some include age-related issues, health problems, and environmental hazards.
Older adults should stay active, remove tripping hazards, review medication, and have vision checked to help prevent the risk of falling. One in three adults age 65 and older falls each year (CDC).

National Safety Month: Week 2
Work Ergonomically
Overexertion is the 3rd leading cause of accidental injuries. Ergonomic problems are disorders of the soft tissues that are caused by overexertion while lifting or pushing, repetitive motions, sitting or standing too long in one position, and using excessive force.
Know the signs:
• Tingling
• Swelling
• Pain
• Tenderness
• Numbness
• Loss of grip strength
• Clicking
Ergonomic conditions can occur from all type of activities such as using heavy equipment, typing on a keyboard (like I'm doing right now), helping a friend move, or playing video games.
Know the right tool to use to get the job done and know how to use it properly. If you don't know how to, get trained on the proper technique. This is crucial to preventing injuries. We don't want you to get hurt at work, or anywhere for that matter.
So, please, be careful!

National Safety Month: Week 1
Each June, National Safety Month is recognized. It's a yearly observance that focuses on enlightening and encouraging safe behaviors around the leading causes of injuries and deaths that can easily be avoided.
This year, they focus on the need to practice safe behaviors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as three times as many employees are injured off the job than while at work. The theme for week one is Employee Wellness.
You'd be surprised at what big difference a small change makes on your health. At least 80% of all stroke, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, and over 1/3 of cancers, could possibly be avoided if we simply made the choice to eat better, be more active, reduce the use of alcohol, and quit smoking, according to the WHO (World Health Organization).
Here are a few tips to promote employee wellness:
Fruits and vegetables - fill 1/2 your plate with these.
Take a brisk walk during your lunch hour or break.
Drink water instead of soda or coffee.
Go for a bike ride after work with the family, make it fun!
Choose lean protein – seafood, turkey and chicken breast, eggs and beans.
Join a sports league with a friend or co-worker.
Go to the gym.
Join us in taking a step toward a more healthy and active lifestyle!
