Back in Balance: Stretching | Your ACSA Safety Training

Over 40% of all lost time injuries within construction have been attributed to strains and sprains. This video takes a look at several contributing factors leading to the development of these and other musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) occurring at construction sites. Microbreaks and stretching have been shown to counterbalance the wear and tear while assisting workers in reducing aches and pains, translating into fewer injuries. Follow along as the host explains what you can do to prevent suffering from an MSI, and join in the short stretching demonstration at the end of the video to help put your body "Back in Balance."
