111 Safety Is vitally important, but so is occupational health. That's the view of health, safety, and environmental director for TNT UK and Ireland, Nell Griffiths.

"We offer our drivers, fitters, and fork-lift truck operators periodic health screening, and we encourage our employees to adopt a healthy lifestyle," he says. "In addition, we provide them with advice on diet and exercise, and even on safety In the home.'1

Why should an employer be concerned about household hazards? "If you fall off a ladder at home while you're doing some DIY and hurt yourself seriously, you won't be coming to work," he replies.
