Federal agencies that employ law enforcement personnel often promote health and wellness programs to help officers meet and maintain required physical fitness standards. These programs also help to reduce the stress that often accompanies employees who work in hazardous or dangerous occupations. Federal Occupational Health’s (FOH) Law Enforcement Wellness/Fitness Program promotes health and safety on the job and supports officers’ efforts to maintain required fitness standards.
Work-site wellness/fitness programs encourage and support officers in their efforts to maintain healthy lifestyles. FOH’s experienced Wellness/Fitness professionals work with law enforcement personnel to help them set goals, develop specific activities to improve health, increase flexibility, improve cardiovascular conditions, lose body fat, and build body mass. These programs are also correlated with reduced injuries and shorter recovery periods after an illness.
FOH provides assistance in implementing agency-wide fitness programs by:
- Developing appropriate, agency-specific fitness standards
- Providing initial medical clearance for participants as they begin their fitness program
- Developing appropriate fitness activities
- Providing ongoing review and evaluation of fitness programs
