SAD lamp cannot do any harm, I use one at home as I work from home 4 days a week, I like it.
The vitamin D thing, the recommendation here is for everyone to supplement but by how much? Personally I think people should be tested initially, get their replacement and then it's imperative to stay on a maintainence dose which will vary with the individual. The initial replacement dose is mostly prescription strength so this has cost implication. Personally for miners I think that would be a great initiative by employer but there's the cost involved with initial bloods. Are they aware of this? Supplementing too quickly affects calcium deposits so it must be done with some sort of medical guidance. Zero point in just doing it five days a week thought. It's all or nothing.
Best wishes, Vivienne

Hi All

 

I have been asked the question whether it would be beneficial from a wellbeing perspective for underground workers (miners) to have a SAD’s lamp type lighting ,and a supplement of Vitamin D on a 5 days a week basis.

 

Any information would be appreciated please?

 

Thank you

 

Kind Regards

Jane
