Substance abuse is attributed to a number of causes, some genetic and others due to societal aspects. High stress, long hours, and fatigue are commonly cited causes of substance abuse, in addition to remote supervision and easy access to substances. Sometimes, even boredom can cause one to abuse drugs, the use of which has attributed to about four billion lost work hours in the United States alone.
Americans consume 60% of the world’s illegal drugs, so it’s a domestic issue that many should be aware of. Whatever the trigger, substance abuse can lead to decreased motivation at work. Studies show that workers reporting illicit drug or alcohol use are more likely to skip work over two days in a month, while also using sick time leave three times more frequently than the average worker. They were also more likely to miss more than two days of work because of injury, the chance of which increases when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The impact of substance abuse on an employee also affects their company loyalty. Employees who abuse substances are five times more likely to file worker’s compensation claims, and are almost 4 times more likely to get injured in the workplace. Substance abusers are a greater liability to a company and all of its workers. 10 to 20% of American workers who died at work tested positive for drugs and alcohol, one of many statistics that show their increased liability to the company and all co-workers surrounding them, especially in industries where machinery is used, like mining and construction – which has the highest rates of drug use among employees.

It has been reported by the Office of National Statistics that over the last five years almost a quarter of registered welders who are certified have left the industry. The actual number is believed to be around 18000 which only leaves 58000 registered and certified welders in the UK.
The demand for welders is rising and due to the decreasing numbers of the welders in the UK there is now a 25 per cent gap. The changes in our lifestyles and the requirement for a greener, more sustainable living along with the plans to make the UK self-sufficient for energy from 2020 adds to the requirement for welders. For that project alone 20,000 welders trained welders will be required which creates a big shortfall in the number of available welders.
The shortfall will only be eliminated if 50,000 people start welder training at level 1 and 2 within the next 3-5 years. The shortfall in the numbers has been addressed by the UK’s Weldability-Sif Foundation. The foundation has entered into a partnership with EAL and the Welding Institute to increase the welder training courses around the country.

Back in 2012 we started a recipe section on our blog and the first recipe that we featured was on how to make your own homemade burgers and aptly entitled, BBQ Nosh Part 1. The post and recipe was so popular across the social world we wanted it to evolve and that is when we came up with the idea of a recipe infographic.

Did you know that we spend half our lives in zombie-like automation, carrying out routines we created days, months, or even years ago? It’s a necessity – without some routine in our life, we would take far longer to do everything we need to do and we would grow tired far more quickly from the mental exertion. In many ways habits are actually necessary in our lives and provide our days with a fluid rhythm.
Unfortunately, we can also develop habits that are detrimental to our health. Over time these negative habits turn into full-force addictions, sustained by the satisfaction or feeling of being rewarded for completing these negative behaviors. The infographic below, created by 12 Palms Rehab, explains the differences.
Kicking these negative habits or addictions and replacing them with positive habits is not easy – in fact, it’s downright exhausting. Quick and dirty negative habits are far easier to form than those that require more time, energy, and consistency. Try to start with small changes such as drinking water instead of having a snack between meals or chewing gum instead of smoking that cigarette. Whenever you feel your “trigger” – stomach is rumbling, time for food – try to replace your response to it with a healthier action – eat a salad, not a cookie. Understanding why you indulge in negative habits or addictions will help you to break away from these actions and become a better you.
