Identification and Assessment of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) Risk for Concrete Formwork Systems

John Gambatese and Ziyu Jin. CPWR Small Study, 2021.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for more than half of all the injuries and illnesses in the construction industry. Concrete formwork construction is recognized as one of the tasks in which workers have a high risk of developing work-related MSDs, and previous research has focused on the use of conventional job-built formwork. Given the growing use of prefabricated/engineered (including modular) formwork systems, this study investigated the differences in work tasks and activities for different types of formwork systems, assessed work-related MSD risks associated with different types of formwork systems, and determined the prevalence and nature of MSDs in concrete formwork construction. A mixed-methods research approach was adopted that included surveys of form workers, site observations, and worker posture evaluations using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method.
