Vita Opus® - Winter 2012

---

 

	The newest edition of Vita Opus is now available!  Inside this latest publication you will find stories that will both inform and inspire. For example, we know that at home and on the job, fatigue-induced errors can have devastating consequences. To shed light on the topic, we will provide an overview of a recent Liberty Mutual study on shift workers and fatigue. Next, obesity in the workplace is a growing epidemic. Our story on page 8 focuses on new research from the University of Houston, which suggests that overweight and obese workers require more floor slip resistance. In our featured story called “Now Hear This! Steps for a Successful Hearing Conservation Program” we provide tips for launching and maintaining a successful OSHA hearing conservation program. You will also find stories focusing on the job sculpting trend, the link between glove grip and job-related injuries and news from around the occupational health industry.
