How to Prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders in Construction

Beyond the Hard Hat: Stopping the Strains and Sprains that Sideline Your Crew

In construction, we talk a lot about big-site safety — hard hats, harnesses, and high-vis. But the reality is that strains and sprains are the “silent” injuries that actually sideline our crews most often. They might not always make the front page, but they definitely impact your people and your productivity.

Join us for our Quarterly Safety Meeting on April 29th, hosted by DHE. Experts from Athletico Physical Therapy will lead a session focused on the unique physical demands of the trades and how to stop these common injuries before they start.

What we’ll cover:

• The “Why”: Why strains and sprains remain the leading cause of injury in the Michigan trades.
• Proactive Prevention: Practical stretching and movement techniques that can be done right on the jobsite.
• Early Intervention: How to spot the signs of a strain before it becomes a long-term problem.
• The Rehab Roadmap: Practical measures for rehab and returning to work safely after an injury occurs.

The Essentials:

• When: Wednesday, April 29 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
• Where: DHE | 4475 8th Ave, Grandville, MI 49418
• Cost: Free for ASAM members.
