Did you know ? 540 accidents at work were recorded in 000 by Health Insurance.
The return from vacation is also the return from accidents!
Let's go for a new school year for our children...And for ABALONE by your side! Back to school is not without danger, nothing better than a reminder of the essential rules to follow when carrying out your missions.
For a peaceful return to school, don't forget good practices at work
We leave our summer holidays behind us: the sun, the heat, the siestas... And we have somewhat forgotten the safety rules. We still have a little head on vacation away recovery and the activity resumes with its traditional accidents at work. As a reminder, the CPAM recognized 540 accidents at work in 000.
The month of September is often conducive to accidents:
– Loss of habits and automatisms,
– Decreased alertness,
– Work overload caused by the relaunch of the activity
– Modification of the work environment and organization,
- Etc,
IWe must not forget either that our body has taken advantage of the period of inactivity to relax. LMuscular injuries are therefore very common at this time of year! A short warm-up before resuming work is therefore not to be neglected, especially if you put a lot of strain on your muscles, tendons, etc. And always remember to hydrate yourself by drinking at least 1,5L of water.
Pay attention to your environment to prevent an accident at work from spoiling your return to school. Take the time to think before you act.
Back to school is also an opportunity to correct our bad safety habits.
