And finally… Construction workers stretch, bend, squat and wiggle during daily warm up
Reading time: 1 minute
Hundreds of construction workers delivering the new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team stretch, bend, squat and wiggle — all before 7 a.m.
The daily loosening-up regimen is a priority for Minnesota-based Mortenson Construction, which is managing the $524 million project.
Mel Langlais, safety director for the company’s Milwaukee Operating Group, tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the morning sessions aren’t just about stretching, but they are a cultural thing that set a tone for the rest of the day.
Mortenson started daily stretching on its job sites about 20 years ago.
Langlais says the company saw immediate benefits including a reduced injury rate. They even have workers do a second session after the lunch break.
