𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 doesn't just disappear when you head home for the day. When pressure persists, it can take a toll on your 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Workplace stress is the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the job requirements do not match the workers' capabilities, resources, or needs. Job stress can lead to poor health, reduced productivity, and workplace injury.

According to NIOSH, studies show that job stress can lead to:
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Musculoskeletal Disorders
• Psychological Disorders
• Workplace Injury
• Su***de

Learning how to handle and healthily manage stress is significant. These include recognizing and changing the behaviors contributing to stress and techniques for reducing it once it has occurred.

• Identify your stressors: track which situations create the most stress and how you respond to them. Record your thoughts, feelings, and information, including the people and circumstances involved.
• Develop health responses: Exercise is an excellent de-stressor. Avoid fighting stress with fast food or alcohol. Also, make time for hobbies and favorite activities.
• Establish boundaries: create clear boundaries between work and home life.
• Learn how to relax: Meditation, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness can help relieve stress.
• Talk to your supervisor: have an open conversation with your supervisor to devise an effective plan for managing the stressor you've identified. Employee health is linked to productivity at work.
• Find support: accepting help from friends and family members can help your ability to manage stress. Your employer may also have stress management resources, including counseling and a mental health professional referral.

Noise exposure in the workplace isn't just a nuisance. It can be a serious hazard!

Occupational Noise Exposure is the quantity of noise a person is exposed to while working, which can cause hearing loss and other physical and mental problems. Employers can take steps to limit noise and offer hearing protection, like earplugs or earmuffs, to lessen the dangers of exposure to loud noise.

Employers should follow the OSHA Hearing Conservation Program and give annual audiograms to workers exposed to noise levels at or above 85 dB to check for hearing loss. With these audiograms, employees may monitor any changes in their hearing and take precautions to preserve it.

At SNOHC, we provide audiograms for employers in compliance with the OSHA Hearing Conservation Program.
