April is National Stress Awareness Month. At times, driving itself can be stressful or life’s changes can add unwanted stress. It's important to learn to manage your stress so it doesn't cause additional issues when you're behind the wheel.
The way you manage your time can have a big impact on your health. With effective time management you can reduce stress, use your time more effectively and improve your quality of life.
Two of our team members, Briere Melias and Brandon Tufillaro, were recently recognized by Lytx for their impressive safety records in the Driver of the Year and Coach of the Year categories, respectively. Congratulations!
As we have all become more in-tune with key health & safety protocols as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s also important to be vigilant around potential bloodborne pathogens (BBPs).
With Monday’s eclipse around the corner, the Health & Safety team wanted to send out an additional “Staying Aware” message…which also ties in perfectly to April Distracted Driving Month. Refer to the full story for some important tips to keep in mind whether you are a driver, pedestrian or a curious observer during the eclipse.
Since April is Distracted Driving Month, it is only appropriate that our next "Staying Aware" Health & Safety sub-topic addresses the importance of Avoiding Distractions.
Stress is a normal part of life, and it affects everyone in one way or another. Low to moderate levels of stress can actually be good for you when managed properly. Although you can’t completely eliminate tension from your life, you can reduce your emotional and physical stress levels by making small changes.
Avoid the use of drugs and alcohol when driving. The effects and changes they can have on your body – like change in vision, depth perception and reaction time – can have detrimental results.
