Does environmental change mean indoor air quality?
Not with regard to the WWTC program. Indoor air quality, which relies on the worksite infrastructure, is often classified as a safety consideration. Similarly, noise levels, eye protection, and exposure to toxic substances are safety issues. Workstation design and equipment as it relates to ergonomics, may be part of a worksite’s safety program or part of a wellness program. WWTC focuses on the everyday choices we make that affect our long term health. These are “lifestyle” choices or behaviors, and include things like what we eat, how much exercise we get, and whether or not we smoke or spend time around tobacco smoke. Long term health is measured by how much more likely we are to get a disease that leaves us disabled or dead at a younger age that normally expected.
