• Description:
  Researchers interviewed 50 key informants representing construction contractors and labor union representatives, and held focus groups with 48 construction trade workers to identify perceptions and attitudes about work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in the building industry. The participants, drawn from a wide variety of trades, identified many of the major barriers and challenges to introducing ergonomic safety and health interventions in the industry as well as some possible paths forward.
