Preventive care is all about staying ahead of health issues before they become serious. Regular check-ups and screenings help detect potential problems early, keep you healthy, and can even save time and medical costs in the long run. Simple steps, like vaccinations and maintaining healthy habits, can make a big difference in your overall well-being, both on and off the job. |

Protect your ears while using headphones at work. Keep the volume at a moderate level and take short breaks from listening throughout the day. This helps prevent hearing strain and keeps you focused and comfortable during work hours. The Hearing Health Foundation recommends listening to personal audio devices at a maximum volume level of 50 - 60% and taking breaks at least once an hour. |
