NAOSH: Relationships are part of health
Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend. It’s a great reminder that health includes strong relationships with family, loved ones, residents, and co-workers.
Today’s safety focus is simple:
- Be kind
- Be patient
- Help each other
- Say thank you
- Notice who might need support
A strong team is a safer team.
Share a thank you message with a co-worker, it can be on a post it note or a piece of paper, make someone’s day with a kind message. Remember to take a picture and send it to pandccares@mennoplace.ca
Just a reminder: All submissions from the week will be entered into a draw and the winning team will receive some treats for a coffee break.
The Hand Hygiene Day Prize Winner Is…
Staff participated in quizzes, activities and demonstrations to test their handwashing skills and knowledge.
NAOSH: The Thirst for Safety – Hydration helps us stay alert.
As summer gets closer, hydration matters. When we’re dehydrated, we can feel tired, distracted, or headachy, and that can increase mistakes.
Here’s a Simple challenge for today:
– Bring a water bottle
– Take a sip at every break
– Remind a co-worker: “Drink water!”
If your unit wants to join in: take a quick photo of your water bottles lined up, and remember to share what your favourite drink is to stay hydrated:
In the summer, my favourite drink to stay hydrated is:
a). Water (plain, bubbly, flavoured)
b). Juice
c). Gatorade or another sports drink
d). Other: __________________________
