🩺 HEALTH FACT FRIDAY
Think your kidneys only make urine?

Think again.

Your kidneys perform several essential jobs that help keep your body functioning properly. They remove waste and excess fluid from your blood, help regulate blood pressure, support bone health, help your body produce red blood cells and maintain your body's chemical balance.

That's a lot of responsibility for two relatively small organs.

Your employee may leave β€” but their occupational health records may not.

Did you know that depending on the applicable regulations, certain occupational health records may need to be retained for 30, 40 or even 50 years?

Employers need to understand:
βœ”οΈ What occupational health records must be kept
βœ”οΈ How long they must be retained
βœ”οΈ Who may access personal medical information
βœ”οΈ When the retention period starts
βœ”οΈ When an exit medical or medical screening may be required

Proper recordkeeping is more than filing documents away. Employers should have a **documented safekeeping system** and identify the person responsible for managing these records.

🌿 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY
What if your kidneys were losing function β€” but you felt completely fine?

That's one of the reasons kidney disease can be so difficult to detect early.

Early chronic kidney disease often has no signs or symptoms, meaning people may not realise there is a problem until the disease has progressed.

Your kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste, controlling fluid balance, helping regulate blood pressure and supporting red blood cell production.

Knowing your risk factors and discussing appropriate health checks with a healthcare professional can help with early detection.

🩺 HEALTH FACT FRIDAY

What Is Medical Surveillance?

Medical surveillance is more than just a routine medicalβ€”it's an important process that helps protect employees who are exposed to workplace hazards.

By monitoring an employee's health over time, medical surveillance can identify early signs of work-related illnesses before they become more serious.

Depending on the workplace and the risks involved, medical surveillance may include hearing tests, lung function tests, vision screening, blood pressure monitoring and other medical assessments.

For many industries, medical surveillance isn't just good practiceβ€”it's a legal requirement that helps employers meet their health and safety obligations while protecting the wellbeing of their workforce.

πŸ’œ Could Your Job Be Affecting Your Health?

Not every workplace hazard is easy to see. In fact, some of the biggest risks develop gradually over time through repeated exposure to the work we do every day.

From excessive noise and airborne dust to hazardous chemicals, repetitive movements and extreme temperatures, these hazards can impact your health if they aren't properly managed.

Understanding the risks in your work environment is the first step towards protecting your long-term health. Employers and employees both play an important role in creating safer, healthier workplaces.

πŸ’œ Women's Wellbeing Matters
A healthy workplace is one where women feel supported, valued and empowered to thrive.

Women's wellbeing extends beyond physical healthβ€”it includes mental wellbeing, work-life balance, access to preventive healthcare and a workplace culture that encourages growth and support.

When organisations invest in the wellbeing of women, they create healthier teams, stronger businesses and more resilient workplaces.

Every positive step, no matter how small, contributes to a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
