There is no doubt that manual work is very hard on the body. It takes its toll on muscles and bones, and is generally very demanding on the body. Many craftsmen feel that their bodies give up relatively early in their working careers because they are simply so worn out. There is a huge cost to society when people in work can no longer work because of their body, but the worst thing is for the people themselves, who lose quality of life, especially in the latter part of their lives.

Health profiles

If you have a physically demanding job in a competitive industry, where schedules and contracts must be met and the pace is fast, it can be a significant challenge to get adequate rest and recoveryas well as proper diet and exercise. In addition to the physical impact, the psychological pressure of a busy working day can also take its toll.

By offering health profiles to the craft sector, it is possible to shed light on the health challenges faced by individual craftsmen, and to provide advice and guidance on how to improve health. Among other things, you will gain insight into blood values, weight and fitness levels, as well as mental state. All these parameters provide a good overall picture of the individual's health. 

Preventive effect

A health profile can be the basis for larger and broader company-wide initiatives that can initiate health promotion initiatives, including physical exercise during working hours. It doesn't have to take longer than a coffee break. A few minutes a day of high-intensity exercise can be enough to increase physical capacity and improve health, thereby improving employees' fitness levels and preventing early wear and tear. 

New style

It is important to think in new ways and break unhealthy habits. Management should take the flag in hand and lead the way down the health path. Management must limit the amount of unhealthy food in the company and find other healthier alternatives. It should be cool to eat fruit instead of pork rinds even if you work on a construction site.
