RALEIGH, NC, February 20, 2014 (Press-News.org) Industrial Motions, Inc. announces the release of their latest workplace injury prevention and employee wellness program called WorkDay Warm-Up. This exercise program combines stretching exercises with simple strengthening exercises to provide employees with the most well rounded workplace exercise program available.
"This unique blend of stretching and strengthening for the workplace has evolved through feedback from the workers themselves," said Frank Murray MSPT, President/CEO of Industrial Motions, Inc. "Traditional workplace exercise programs," continued Murray, "consist mainly of stretching. Workers and companies were requesting strengthening exercises as well. This led to the development of the WorkDay Warm-Up Program."
"Another unique aspect of this program that separates it from others on the market, is the ability to categorize jobs and select which set of exercises are most appropriate for the workplace of a particular company. Not all jobs are the same, so the exercise programs need to fit the specific job functions. At a minimal cost and time investment, the WorkDay Warm-Up Program is a great way to maintain a culture of wellness and safety in the workplace."
The WorkDay Warm-Up Program contains four categories of exercises that cover the spectrum of workplace tasks. A company can categorize and select the right set of exercises, thus customizing the program to the specific type of work performed in their facilities. The program contains instructions and graphics illustrating each exercise. An exercise safety officer can have their program up and running fairly quickly with minimal training time. David Zimmerman of Exterran Corporation (Houston TX) says "Not only is their program up and running, but the workers have really bought into the program and look forward to the session each day."

Kalamazoo man faces charges for heroin possession after a traffic stop
Many criminal investigations evolve from traffic stops. That was the case, for example, when local police arrested a Kalamazoo suspect during a routine traffic detention. The man was allegedly hiding heroin inside his shoe and body.
In late January 2014, an officer from the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team stopped the suspect on the road. The man allegedly consented to a search of his vehicle and pursuant to the investigation, officers claim to have found heroin hidden in the man's shoe. The suspect ...

Police focusing on DUI in San Diego - Results in more intrusion into your freedom by checkpoints

The sad truth about deadly Texas car accidents
Given the fact that Texas is one of the most populated states in the country, it makes sense that there is a relatively high fatal auto accident rate, but the truth about these crashes is both sad and surprising. According to figures provided by the Texas Department of Transportation, in 2012 (the most recent year for which relevant data is available), nearly 3,400 Texans lost their lives in motor vehicle accidents. That is a sharp increase over recent years, and it illustrates some sobering facts:
-On average, someone ...

Employer "ultra rigid" in workers' comp denial, court finds for employee
A case out of New Jersey can provide a lesson for employers across the country. In the case, an employee was leaving her job when she was involved in a car accident. More specifically, the majority of her vehicle had left the employer's garage when she was hit by an oncoming vehicle. The employee's car was struck as she attempted to merge from the garage onto the city roadway. The employee was injured and filed a claim for workers' compensation.
The employer denied the workers' compensation ...

Nebraska upholds gun restriction against man convicted of misdemeanor
Nebraska recognizes a person's right under the Second Amendment to bear arms. However, a person can lose that right if convicted of a violent crime. The state upholds the right to deny a permit to carry a concealed handgun for people who have previous violent convictions or for those who the state otherwise views as a danger to themselves or others.
On January 17, the state's highest court recently revisited this issue and ultimately upheld the Nebraska State Patrol's decision to deny a man's right ...

Punishment is possible even if you refuse a DUI breath test in Virginia
Under the law in Virginia, drivers are already "deemed" to have given consent to have their breath or blood tested for the presence of alcohol should they ever be arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). Otherwise known as Virginia's implied consent statute, this particular law not only creates presumed consent based merely upon the operation of a motor vehicle upon a Commonwealth highway but it also establishes the grounds for punishing drivers who refuse chemical testing following ...

Hospital errors and the impact on patient health
Many medical facilities have certain procedures in place that are designed to limit the number of mistakes that could happen when treating patients. Some do a much better job than others, and patients often want to know where they should go to avoid being subjected to potential errors.
Some medical facilities have a very poor record when it comes to providing care to their patients. Preventable errors lead to health complications, potentially leading to medical malpractice claims against these facilities and the medical ...
