Again we see slips, trips, and falls as our number #1 trend and we. Please slow
down and work on your over all physical fitness. This includes the way you fuel
your body to the amount of sleep we get down to the type of foot wear we use
on and off the job. Our feet support our whole body. Do not try to lifting things
to heavy. Save your back and your knees!
Is your core strong and is your back compensating for this and do you have a
bad back?
eek, sit ups are not the best trunk strengthening exercise for those with back issues. A simple
exercise to start would be to begin "dead bug" where one lays on their back and begins with an
abdominal/pelvic floor contraction then alternately lifts the legs. Also plank progressions
starting usually from hands and knees maintaining a neutral spine and then either lifting the
legs alternately again or weight shifting forward and back.
Here is a link to core performance web based training. If you go to their home site you can see
some of the tactical, firefighter and police officer training.

UPS- took the stance to say let’s train our employees how to fall without
causing injury and protecting the package from breaking. So please know how
to fall without getting injured.
Here are some tips:
““SSlliippss TTrriippss aanndd FFaallllss””
Falls are the second-leading cause of injury in the workplace, and only motor
vehicle accidents result in more worker deaths. Slips, trips and falls send more
than 7 million Americans to hospital emergency rooms every year-far more than
any other cause of injury.
No one wants to fall, but it’s helpful to know what to do to
minimize injury in case it happens.
Tuck in your chin, turn your head, and twist your body to the side. Try to
roll into the fall.
Use your arm to protect your head, but do not try to break the fall with your
hands or elbows.
Try to spread out the impact. Let your shoulder, buttocks and legs absorb
the shock. Keep wrists, arms and knees bent and relaxed.

If you think you’re injured, do not move. Call for help.
Even if you’re not injured, report the incident to your supervisor, so that the
cause can be fixed.
We also are seeing an increase in Tick Bites
This is a pretty cool device that safely removes a tick. It works well on humans and on your
family pet.
