Tradies National Health Month 2023

AUGUST 2023 – This month was Tradies National Health Month, an initiative from the Australian Physiotherapy Association.

Did you know, tradies have among the highest number of injuries, musculoskeletal conditions and other health and safety risks of any profession evident in the ‘Stop Trading Your Health Away’ APA report? So this campaign is a timely reminder to look after your health, check in with your mates, and take steps to work safer every time you lace up those tradie boots.

At ACE we believe you need to be your best self to do your best work. We strive to reduce harm and promote healthy work through our safety-focused attitude and active support for all health initiatives.

On Friday, August 25th, we had Lucia from Formotion Physio run a workshop on how to lift stronger in the workplace. She gave the team practical techniques to be proactive and avoid fatigue and injuries in the workplace.

Workplace injury and health issues don’t get left at the worksite at the end of the day. They have a flow on effect into all aspects of life, which makes it even more important to focus on workforce health, including tradies health.

We look forward to continuing to focus on our teams health by providing more opportunities like this, as leading by example should be celebrated, supporting your employees, colleagues, family and friends, always.
