Alcohol

Alcohol causes thousands of cancer cases per year in the UK. World Health Organisation conducted global surveys on alcohol consumption and alcohol related harm was reported that globally, men consume more alcohol than women and the percentage of abstainers is higher in women than in men.

Together, drinking and smoking increases the risk of cancer. Drinkers who also smoke have a 10 times greater risk of liver cancer than people who only drink.

Drinking alcohol is a risk factor contributing to various types of cancer such as:

Mouth cancer
Oesophagus cancer
Breast cancer
Stomach cancer
Liver cancer

Alcohol can also increase your risk of developing other conditions as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, liver disease and atrial fibrillation.

What do you need to do?

Drinking within the guidelines, no more than 14 units a week on a regular basis, will keep the risk of cancer and developing other conditions low. Seek advice from your GP and reach out for help if you need it.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
