A pre-shift stretching protocol to reduce employee injuries was initiated at a beverage company and a tin mill in the northeastern United States. The primary goal of this study was to determine the effects of a pre-shift stretching program on work-related musculoskeletal injuries. A secondary goal was to evaluate daily participation compliance during the 90-day program. Data on employee injuries during the stretching program were collected and compared to injury events during the same time period 1 year earlier. Comparison to injury events of the total eligible population during the study time frame was also included. Results of this pilot program in terms of injury rate reduction and participant compliance are promising. Study results may be useful for employers considering implementing similar programs and also suggest the need for further study in this area.
美国东北部的一家饮料公司和一家锡厂启动了一项班前伸展运动方案，以减少员工受伤情况。本研究的主要目的是确定班前伸展运动计划对与工作相关的肌肉骨骼损伤的影响。次要目标是评估90天计划期间的每日参与依从性。收集了伸展运动计划期间员工受伤的数据，并与一年前同一时期的受伤事件进行了比较。还纳入了与研究时间段内总合格人群受伤事件的比较。该试点计划在降低受伤率和参与者依从性方面的结果很有前景。研究结果可能对考虑实施类似计划的雇主有用，也表明有必要在该领域进行进一步研究。
