Energy management - June health and safety focus

Rotating through different tasks helps to prevent physical strains by not aggravating the same area over and over again. If you’re feeling pain anywhere, it’s a good idea to recognise this early and let your supervisor or manager know.

Getting your body moving helps to reduce stress and improve your overall wellbeing. Exercise doesn’t have to be on a treadmill or at a gym; it could be as simple as a short walk before or after work. Movement – including stretching – helps promote blood flow to muscles and is essential to prevent sprains and strains.

Here's some safety conversation starters you can use with your colleagues:

• What do you do to wind down after a busy day at work?
• What’s your favourite way to move or stay active?
