Penny,

The Alberta Centre for Well-Being is completing the 2nd phase of a Workplace
Physical Activity project - 'A Program Standard for Physical Activity'. This
tool combined Occupational Health & Safety principles with the Ecological
Model to assess 'physical activity readiness' of a worksite. A summary will
be up on http://www.health-in-action.org/well-being/ shortly. A pilot study
with the Program Standard should commence shortly. For more information,
please contact Dr. Ron Plotnikoff at: [log in to unmask]

A report on "2000 Workplace Active Living: A needs assessment" can be found

I am currently working on a physical activity in the workplace

materials.

Thank You in advance.
