Stretch-and-Flex

---

At the start of each day, in addition to JSAs and discussion of safety topics, our team meets for a morning stretch-and-flex session. Because construction jobs require physical labor, stretch-and-flex programs can help reduce sprains, strains, back pain, and other potential injuries. It’s a quick and easy way to help protect workers from injury

You don’t have to work on a construction site to take advantage of staying limber by stretching and flexing before you start your day. It can also improve flexibility and strength.

Simple stretches that you can work into your daily routine include side bends, neck stretches, shoulder circles, and wrist, calf, hamstring, and quadricep stretches.
