Safety programs tend to overshadow workplace health in the world of waterfront safety and health. Waterfronts can be hazardous environments with heavy man-machine interfaces.  However, the awareness and discussion of one’s own health are equally, if not more important. 

Dr. Figge and I discuss;

• How safety and health complement each other
• Transitioning from a reactive to a proactive mindset
• A few immediate changes anyone can make on their journey to optimal wellness

“Until pain and dysfunction is addressed, there is only a perpetual state of surviving and not thriving in life.” Dr. Figge
