Summer is for all kinds of outdoor fun! However, with more going on outside, it’s also a time known for spikes in accidents and injuries. With the right safety measures, you can enjoy the longer days and warmer weather without risking your health and safety. This week, the Wellness Committee would like to remind you of some biking and hiking safety tips to keep you and your family safe during these summer activities!
Biking & Hiking Safety • Wear bright clothing: Boost visibility by dressing in bright or reflective gear. • Stick to daylight hours: Avoid hiking or biking before sunrise or after sunset. • Stay hydrated and sun-safe: Bring water, wear a hat and sunglasses, and apply sunscreen before heading out (remember to reapply every two hours you’re outside).

The Wellness Committee would like to remind everyone how essential it is to create an ergonomic workspace that supports comfort, health, and productivity. A properly aligned desk and chair setup helps maintain good posture, keeping wrists straight, elbows at or below hip level, and knees even with the hips. Monitors should be about an arm’s length away, with the top of the screen at or just below eye level. For laptop users, using an external keyboard and raising the screen can reduce neck and shoulder strain. To minimize fatigue, it’s also helpful to keep frequently used items within reach, alternate between sitting and standing, and take short movement breaks throughout the day. If you have eye strain throughout the day, even after maintaining a proper distance away from your monitor, consider asking your Eye Doctor about UV/Blue Light glasses. #SISDWellnessCommittee #workspacetips #healthyworkspace
