How to get started with workplace stretches

• Talk to your colleagues – are they interested?
• Get approval from your manager/HSE coordinator to set aside time for workplace stretches during working hours.
• You will need a regular place to be and a set time of approx. 10 minutes.
• The frequency should be about 3 or 5 days a week.
• Two volunteers from the department should be responsible for the workplace stretches and act as instructors.
