Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) held a stretching workshop with an exercise routine that was especially designed for construction workers as part of the company’s effort in raising occupational health and safety awareness.
For the “GEG Cotai New Development Occupational Health & Safety Promotion Series”, the company recently invited a professional fitness trainer from Sheng Kung Hui Macau Social Services Coordination Office (SKH) to carry out stretching exercises with over 100 construction workers of GEG’s new development project in Cotai.
During the workshop, construction workers learnt simple stretching and yoga movements that they could do during their breaks to prevent muscle strain, reduce fatigue and related injuries.
To prevent dehydration and heatstroke during the summer, food and drinks are provided to workers on the construction site.
Most of the construction workers who participated in the workshop said that the stretching exercises they learnt were effective for relieving back, shoulder and knee pains; and that they believed performing stretches regularly could help reduce fatigue and improve their overall health.
Recently, GEG and the Shanghai Construction Group (Macau) Limited formalised both companies’ commitment to creating a safer work environment by signing a Safety Charter for GEG’s new development project in Cotai.
Earlier this year, GEG organised a wide range of training courses and activities such as Yoga and Tai Chi workshops to help develop employees’ professional skills and occupational health and safety awareness.
