• Description:
  A meeting was organized by NIOSH in February 2002 to explore the current use and future development of ergonomic interventions for the electrical and mechanical construction trades. Attendees included contractor and trade representatives, as well as researchers from academia and government. Meeting in small groups, participants identified task-specific WMSD risk factors and how varying conditions affect a WMSD risk. Participants also identified high risk tasks needing an effective ergonomic intervention. [Description provided by NIOSH]
