With the arrival of Daylight Saving Time, be aware that, each year, the time change causes numerous injuries. Most individuals get about 40 minutes to one hour less sleep during the first several days of the change. This raises the probability of a workplace injury for three out of 100 individuals. Here are some tips to make the transition a little easier.
Daylight Saving Time is also a good time to check smoke or carbon monoxide detectors. Remember to inspect and restock your first aid kit at home or in your vehicle.
If you have any questions, contact Kim Knoernschild, our environmental health and safety specialist, at kknoernschild@georgefox.edu.
