Health in the Building Industry

Health is one of those things that not too many people in the building industry want to talk about however it plays a large roll in the productivity in the work provided and the growth of an industry.

Without good health the tradespeople can not complete the work that is required of them.

In a study completed recently it was noted that most industry related work injuries could have been prevented. That's a staggering amount of wasted time and compensation claims that could have been prevented by just having good health and wellbeing. Brisbane Doctors , Sunshine Coast Doctors and Gold Coast doctors have done a study were they surveyed the local tradesman including Brisbane Tilers, Brisbane Painters, Brisbane Plumbers and Brisbane Electricians and found that the awareness of health issues and healthy life style otions had increased by 20% over a 8 year period. People are living fast lives and that is particluarly true of Real estate agents. Real estate agents are always on the go and tend to work upto 7 days a week and also do more than the standard 9-5 work hours. Brisbane real estate agents have been studied and it has been found that they tend to have higher levels of stress and have a poorer diet and are more over weight.
