 ers with practical ways to minimize or eliminate them."
 The Naval Hospital Jacksonville (NHJ) Wellness
 Center booth performed blood pressure screenings. Health
 Promotion Specialist and registered nurse Brookie Keen
 and Occupational Health Nurse Sherry Evans also provid-
 ed health information on tobacco cessation, nutrition and
 the services offered at the center.
 "We are trying to mirror what is being done in the public
 sector," said Keen.
 "All of our educational programs at the Wellness Center
 are open to federal employees. They can have a health
 assessment done and attend any of our nutrition classes."
 The NHJ Branch Health Clinic Officer-In-Charge and
 audiologist Cmdr. Tony Joseph and his team passed out
 foam earplugs and provided information on hearing con-
 servation. He said repeated exposures to loud noise can
 lead to permanent hearing loss.
 "There is a major campaign in the Navy to protect the
 hearing of our civilian workforce and military personnel,
 specifically by means of hearing protection training and
 I enforcement of the program," he said.
 q%6 Employees attending the fair were also reminded that
 safety is not limited to the workplace.
 40"Our workers are a valuable resource," said the Director
 ."of Industrial Quality Tim Postemski. "We think of hear-
 ing protection as a workplace requirement, but a two-cycle
 4% engine on a chainsaw or lawnmower runs around 80 deci-
 bels, and hearing protection should be worn while using
 this equipment to prevent hearing loss."
 Dr. Andrew Beck, the director of training for the Navy's
 Entomology Center of Excellence presented a display of
