• Back Injury Prevention Through Exercise: Excellent program for organizations implementing an "exercise before working" program for all employees. Explains back basics and why exercise is important before starting work.

• Dealing with Drug and Alcohol Abuse…For Employees: Substance abuse is a huge, worldwide problem. In the United States alone there are over 50 million binge drinkers, 17 million illegal drug users and almost 15 million people who abuse prescription medications. Most substance abusers have jobs. In fact, it is estimated that one out of every ten workers has a substance abuse problem. An employee with an alcohol or drug problem can decrease productivity, create a hostile work environment and damage a company's good name. Worst of all, the actions of a worker who is "under the influence" can completely undermine a company's efforts to keep people safe. This program discusses the various types of substance abuse that are found in the workplace, how they can affect an employee's work situation and what employees themselves can do to help keep their workplace drug and alcohol free. The Video Program comes with a comprehensive leader's guide, reproducible scheduling and attendance form, employee quiz, training certificate and training log.
