Ginny Grupp-Grabowski, owner of AlaskaFit and the founder of
Nutrition University, gets audiences thinking about what’s really
important in life.
How can you change your life for the better in easy and doable steps?
Dealing with stress in today’s hectic world!
What the heck should we be eating in this day of crazy schedules, confusing
labels and easily-accessible fast food?
Grupp-Grabowski has helped hundreds of Alaskans reshape their bodies and
their lifestyles. She typically works with women who are over 38, who have
been putting themselves last, resulting in weight gain, creeping medical issues
and low energy. She helps these women to lose weight, reduce or eliminate
medications for chronic disease, regain their body confidence and love for life.
About AlaskaFit
AlaskaFit is a personal training studio where ordinatry people achieve extraordinary results.
Ginny Grupp-Grabowski is the creator of a unique program called Nutrition University that
teaches Alaskans everything they need to know to eat well, lose weight and maintain weight-
loss for life.
About the Book
In 2011, Ginny joined other leading fitness and nutrition experts to publish “Three Steps to
Your Best Body in Record Time.” The book is a compilation of real-life, proven techniques to
completely reshape your health. It quickly became a #1 Best-Seller.
Workers’ eyes are vulnerable to many hazards on the job, including dust, fumes, pieces of material flying out of equipment and splashes of hazardous substances. Here are 10 tips from Prevent Blind-ness, an organization dedicated to preventing blindness and preserving sight, on ways to prevent eye injuries on the job: 1. Assess: Look carefully at your operations. Inspect all work areas, access routes, and equipment
for hazards to eyes. Study eye incident and injury reports. Identify operations, jobs and areas that present eye hazards.
2. Test: Uncorrected vision problems can cause incidents. Provide vision testing during routine em-ployee physical exams.
3. Protect: Select protective eyewear that’s designed for the specific duty or hazard. Protective eyewear must meet the current standards under the OHS laws and any incorporated standards, such as those from the CSA.
4. Participate: Create a 100% mandatory program for eye protection in all operation areas of your workplace. A broad program prevents more injuries and is easier to enforce than one that limits eye protection to certain departments, areas or jobs.
5. Fit: Workers need protective eyewear that fits well and is comfortable. Have eyewear fitted by an eye care professional or someone trained to do so.
6. Plan for an emergency: Set up first aid procedures for eye injuries. Have eyewash stations that are easy to get to, especially where chemicals are used. Train workers in basic first aid and iden-tify those with more advanced training.
7. Educate: Conduct ongoing educational programs to create, keep up and highlight the need for protective eyewear. Add eye safety to your regular worker training programs and to new worker orientation.
8. Support: Management support is key to having a successful eye safety program. Management can show their support for the program by wearing protective eyewear whenever and wherever needed.
9. Review: Regularly review and update your incident prevention policies. Your goal should be NO eye injuries or incidents!
Put it in writing: Once your safety program is created, put it in writing. Display a copy of the policy
in work areas and where workers gather. Include a review of the policy in new worker orientation
