Air pollution is a topic being discussed almost daily in the news, and is included in many health and environment forums. Pollution affects business operations in many ways, from changes to traffic, vehicle design requirements, bans on burning, and even shutting some manufacturing plants at times. Does air pollution actually affect our health enough to warrant these actions? Several myths need to be dispelled! RAMADAN During Ramadan, it is important for organisations to promote healthy routines to their workforce. Often, key indicators for lifestyle-related conditions are not often checked and known. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH IN MEXICO For organisations, Russia can pose various challenges when trying to comply with their health and safety regulations. Organisations have a moral and legal responsibility to provide Duty of Care to their employees and understanding the Occupational Health standards in the country is the first step. MERS-COV OVERVIEW | INTERNATIONAL SOS The recent spike in cases of MERS is a matter of growing concern to businesses with people travelling through, or working, in the Middle East. Over 2000 cases of MERS have been reported worldwide, including at least 700 deaths; in Saudi Arabia there have been over 1670 cases with more than 680 deaths. ZIKA VIRUS NEWS AND RESOURCES – INTERNATIONAL SOS Key medical information on the outbreak evolution. Zika is an emerging infectious disease that is transmitted to people through mosquito bites. An increasing number of travellers are being diagnosed with the disease after they return home. NATURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE – INTERNATIONAL SOS Tsunamis, floods and forest fires happen all too often, as do earthquakes, hurricanes and other extreme weather events. Global organisations consider their business travellers and expatriates are at medium risk of hurricanes, typhoons and tsunamis whilst on assignment. 52% of large organisations report dealing with occurrences of these threats over a three-year period. TUBERCULOSIS TB is a serious condition that is contagious and spreads through the air – it can be found in every part of the world. However, TB can be prevented and cured with proper treatment. In fact, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE The term 'cardiovascular disease' covers a multitude of illnesses of the heart and blood vessels. Coronary artery disease (heart attacks) and strokes are common.
