Employee Wellness

The DAS wellness program provides information, resources and training to DAS employees on health and wellness topics. Wellness representatives are assigned from each area and work together as a committee to develop wellness programs and activities that promote wellness. Ongoing activities include blood drives and health screenings. Local area activities have also been organized to help promote wellness: Fruit and Salad days Soup days Health potlucks Lunchtime walking groups Exercise groups Nutrition information on common foods Activities and events change based on employee health information, employee requests, and past activity response. If you have an idea that would help promote wellness, please contact your division´s wellness representative or send a message to the Wellness Committee chair person.

DAS Ergonomic Program

After a review of DAS injury and wellness data in 1999, an ergonomic policy (pdf) was written and implemented in 2001. The goal of this policy is to reduce or eliminate ergonomic related work area problems and injuries. The program designates an ergonomic coordinator in each division and provides training for all DAS staff through these coordinators and the DAS Safety office. For further information, please contact the DAS Safety Officer/Ergonomic Coordinator.
