Video Transcript: How to Implement a Warm-up Stretching Program
Warm-up stretching programs add a lot of value to your safety program as part of a full range of control measures to reduce MSD risk factors and prevent MSDs. Making sure your industrial athletes are physical and mentally ready for work is a key Industrial Athlete control measure you can take to proactively reduce MSD risk.
The problem is that it can be difficult to implement these programs correctly. Many programs that are self-administered are poorly designed and fizzle out over time. Just because Joe from accounting played football in high school doesn’t mean he’s qualified to design your program. Not only is Joe’s program likely not doing a good job at making sure your industrial athletes are ready for work, but it could be putting your people at more risk of an injury, not less.
The solution is a Work Readiness System from ErgoPlus.
What you get in a Work Readiness System is a full infrastructure for a best practice and sustainable warm-up stretching program, designed and implemented by Certified Athletic Trainers.
1 – What you’ll get is a program designed by a certified athletic trainer that is customized to the job demands at your worksite. Having your program designed by a qualified professional ensures your program will achieve the results you’re hoping for.
2 – You’ll also get a suite of supporting content and materials. This can include video programs, audio programs, posters, trainings, and any other material you need to promote and execute your warm-up stretching program.
3 – Your Work Readiness System also comes with Management and Leadership Training: Getting and keeping management buy-in for the program is essential for sustaining your program over the long term. We’ll provide training content and materials to help you gain the support and resources you need from management.
4 – And of course your Work Readiness System will come with Work Readiness Leader Training: Training and certifying stretch leaders is a critical element to the success of your program. We’ll train your stretch leaders and provide ongoing training and support to ensure your stretch leaders are able to execute at a high level on an ongoing basis.
