HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? EXPLORING AND UNDERSTANDING LOW-RISK DRINKING GUIDELINES
It’s not uncommon to see people drinking during the holiday season, especially between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day!
Considering the impact alcohol, particularly high-risk alcohol use, can have on one’s health, e.g., hypertension, cancer, liver disease, stroke, etc., it’s important to follow low-risk drinking guidelines to minimize the potential for negative health impacts. But recommendations differ slightly depending on the source.
In this Throwback Thursday, Jim helps by visually explaining what a "drink" is.
From our friends and partners at Safex:
Free Webinar: Dec 7 Maintaining Your Hazard Communication Program
OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom) is based on a simple concept — that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and identity the chemicals they are exposed to when working. They also need to know what protective measures are available to prevent adverse effects from occurring. But what do you need to do to maintain that kind of program? Listen in as Safex reviews those steps. Sign up today

Marijuana Update
Issue 2, Ohio’s ballot initiative to legalize the adult use of marijuana, passed with approximately 57 percent of voters approving the measure. Now employers may be wondering, “Where do we go from here?” Working Partners® has some information on the subject that might help.
Marijuana in the United States
Ohio is not the only state that has made some headlines around Marijuana lately. Georgia will be the first state to sell low-dose cannabis via your local pharmacy.
"Contrary to what anxious local leaders may think, weed sodas won’t be sold alongside the Coke Zero at their local pharmacy. But by the end of the year, people who meet the extremely narrow criteria spelled out in Georgia’s conservative medical cannabis law, are expected to have the opportunity to buy low-dose THC products at their pharmacy — a first in the United States."
