A short warmโ€‘up can make a long shift feel easier. This monthโ€™s Safety Talk focuses on simple stretching and movement to help reduce strain, prevent injuries, and support safer movement throughout the day.

โœ… Roll shoulders and wrists
โœ… Stretch calves and hamstrings
โœ… Gently turn your head side to side before repetitive tasks

Small movements can make a big differenceโ€”take a few minutes to prepare your body before getting started.

Health and Safety Committees and Representatives help ensure workers have a voice in workplace safety. COR Element 4 โ€“ Health & Safety Committee / Representative focuses on bringing workers and management together to identify hazards, review concerns, and support improvements. Committees and representatives participate in inspections, review incidents, and make recommendations that help prevent injuries.

Strong communication and worker participation help ensure safety concerns are addressed early.
