There is such confusion and conflicting information on the subject of nutrition and fitness that it is difficult for most individuals to find their way through the maze of what to do or not to do; this is where we can help.

At Global HSSE Solutions LLC a full service health mitigation program is offered for both afloat and ashore personnel of contracted companies to meet and surpass health and wellness regulatory requirements. See Medical Fitness for Duty The basis of the program is to establish baseline physical evaluations from a 3rd party provider in order to identify employees who may be at risk of compromising there fit for duty (FFD) status.

At the completion of the baseline examination a stoplight analysis diagram will be utilized to assign a color code based on the results of the exam. A green light would indicate a state of overall wellness. A yellow light would indicate warning signs warranting a reevaluation of lifestyle choices. A red light would necessitate immediate action planning as not to fall into a NFFD category in the eyes of the USCG and thereby be unable to remain employed.

Although not required by USCG mandates, this preventive wellness plan is available to shore based office staff in addition to seagoing employees. Improved fitness, nutrition and overall wellness will reduce absenteeism, improve productivity and improve the workplace environment.
