What you do off the job matters just as much on-site. Fueling your body and staying active may prevent injuries before they happen.

Here are some tips for leveling up your wellness and safety:

Fuel Up
Start your day with a healthy breakfast. Low energy and dehydration can lead to potential safety issues and accidents. To fuel your body and stay sharp:

• Eat a balanced diet with lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of fruits and vegetables to maintain your energy levels.
• Drink water throughout the day. Dehydration can cause dizziness and slow your response time, increasing the risk of slips, trips, and falls.

Stay Active
Your body is your most important tool. While construction work is physical, staying active off the clock can help prevent accidents and keep you safe.

• Stretch daily to improve mobility and reduce stiffness, making it easier to move safely on-site.
• Add activities like walking or biking after work to reduce stiffness and stay flexible.
• Aim for 150 minutes of moderate physical activity outside of work each week to build strength and endurance.

Small steps can help keep you safe and prevent accidents. Remember, you’re not just protecting your health—you’re protecting your future.
