Having a network to draw ideas from is an awesome added benefit of being a member.

  • I just want to say that your class still resonates with me and I have had a mindset change in not only my lifestyle, but how I respect the responsibility when driving.
  • When it comes to safety, the Nebraska Safety Council is always my first contact. My questions can be answered by phone or email. The courses provide useful information and real life situations that match our company’s needs. Their knowledge and expertise has helped our company become more efficient and effective in mitigating and eliminating safety risks. From training to safety concerns, the Nebraska Safety Council is there to help.

Our team could not be more assured in the well-being of our employees, customers, and the general public. We highly recommend The Nebraska Safety Council to any company seeking assistance in protecting their crew, company, customers, and the public from the vulnerability of any industry.
  • My wife was in a smoking cessation program and had been doing health coaching calls for the past year. She has not smoked in almost a full year. My grandchildren are so happy. Those phone calls are what did if for her to quit. Your calls work, you are reaching people.

Smoking Cessation Tobacco RedSmoking remains the leading preventable cause of death and disease in the U.S. Quitting can be difficult, but there are proven strategies to help people quit successfully. Although a majority of smokers make a quit attempt each year, more than two-thirds of adult cigarette smokers are not using evidence-based treatment to quit.

Smoking impacts our workforce on and off the job. A recent study found that the average smoker will cost their employer approximately $6,000 per year in excess medical bills and lost productivity. They will outpace coworkers by three days per annum in taking sick leave. An effective tobacco cessation program can truly impact your bottom line.

Support your employees in their quit efforts with our Tobacco Cessation Course. There’s a total of 6 sessions that last between 30-45 minutes each, that can be offered onsite or via webcast. Combine the course with health coaching to increase the likelihood of quitting – for good. Smokers are particularly vulnerable for a few reasons:

  • Act of smoking involves fingers (and possibly contaminated cigarettes) are in contact with lips increasing the possibility of transmission of the virus from hand to mouth.
  • Smokers may also have lung disease or reduced lung capacity, increasing the risk of serious illness and requiring longer recovery time.
  • Smoking products like water pipes are often communal and involve sharing mouthpieces and hoses.

Course Length: 6 sessions, 30-45 minutes each (total time depends on attendee participation)

Course Fee: $1,105 (Members $895)

Enhance Outcomes: Add Health Coaching!

Each session of this class is designed to have a group of employees participate in education, discussion, and activities around tobacco cessation. Help your employees outline - and stick to - goals with telephonic (or in-person) individual health coaching sessions. This is a great opportunity to get additional guidance and strategies to quit for good. When you add health coaching, you save extra on the course!
