• Description:
  Masons have the highest rate of overexertion injuries among all construction trades and rank second for occupational back injuries in the United States. However, ergonomic safety training is often limited or non-existent, and workers may lack the "soft skills" needed to respond to unsafe work environments. Researchers have designed a safety training intervention (SAVE, or Safety Voice for Ergonomics) to address both factors, and are preparing a randomized controlled trial to test the intervention's efficacy.
