Our health and safety teams regularly run awareness-raising events on a variety of subjects throughout the year.
In-house experts and outside participants, as well as exhibits, deal with several topics of public interest: combat against cancer, combat against addictions, warnings concerning road safety, whether in a car or on a bicycle, healthy diet, physical activity, etc.
In 2023, 8 actions were carried out. Here are a few examples:
Review of some previous awareness campaigns:
Addictions
A member of the Addictions France association and a member of the League against cancer came to SILAB to present the support actions available for themselves or their families in 2023.
Pink October
As part of the Pink October campaign, several events were organized each year for employees.
The 2023 edition included:
- a photographic exhibition;
- workshops on breast cancer screening led by a member of the League against cancer;
- a conference led by a gynecologist on this theme and on the links between cancer and psychotrauma.
Well-being: sophrology
In 2023, a sophrologist came to the SILAB's site to offer employees workshops on the following themes:
- sleep: better management of tiredness linked to work and/or travel;
- relieving symptoms and pain;
- supporting and adapting to change;
- re-mobilizing energy in complex times (change, epidemic...).
Smoke-free month
As part of the "Month without tobacco" campaign in November, the health team regularly carried out an awareness-raising campaign to encourage employees to quit smoking in the interests of their health.
Blue March
In 2024, volunteers from the League against cancer led workshops, both to present the actions of this association and to raise awareness of colorectal cancer screening.
Sustainable mobility challenge
This year, SILAB took part for the 7th time in a collective challenge on the theme of sustainable mobility: both positive for the planet and for health. Some forty employees got together to opt for alternative forms of transport, saving 1,279 kg of CO2.
