STRETCH BEFORE YOU USE YOUR BODY

Q: “What do athletes do prior to training or competition?”

A: Stretch and warm up. Like an athlete, you are using your body - for work. It needs to be ready. It needs to be prepared to perform the lifting, climbing, pushing, pulling, twisting movements that you do every day.

So why don’t you stretch before you start?

S-T-R-E-T-C-H!

Use the stretches we do in the morning stretch, or the one’s your chiropractor gave you. Get moving! Do some air squats, rotate your shoulders, loosen your hamstrings, etc.

1. Shoulder Stretch – 10 Alternating 2. Triceps Stretch – 10 Alternating 3. Trunk Twists – 5 Full Cycles 4. Shoulder Rotations - 5 small circles forward - 5 medium circles forward - 5 large circles forward - 5 medium circles backward - 5 large circles backward

BEST SAFETY PRACTICES FOR

EMPLOYEE GUIDANCE RELATED TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

We are currently instituting the following practices based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and will revise or adjust our protocols upon updated guidance from the CDC.

We are providing COVID-19 prevention guidance consistent with the CDC:

Stay home when you are sick.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, throw the tissue in the trash, then wash your hands.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. In addition, we have instituted the following guidelines for all Cinelease locations:

Employees are encouraged to observe proper respiratory etiquette and hand hygiene at all times:

• Employees should be encouraged to frequently wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, employees should be encouraged to frequently clean their hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60-95% alcohol. • Employees are encouraged to follow proper coughing and sneezing etiquette including: • Covering mouths and noses with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. • Immediately putting used tissues in a waste basket. • If no tissues are available, coughing or sneezing into your upper sleeve or elbow (never into your hands).

We will increase our routine environmental cleaning:

• We ask employees to routinely clean all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, and doorknobs. Use the cleaning agents that are usually used in these areas and follow the directions on the label. • No additional disinfection beyond routine cleaning is recommended at this time. • Disposable wipes will be provided so that commonly used surfaces (for example, doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, desks) can be wiped down by employees before each use.
