This study presents a six-step framework to guide the implementation of interventions for reducing physical work demands in construction. The framework effectively supports the development of ergonomic strategies for manual materials handling.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health
- Ergonomics
- Construction Safety
Background:
- Manual materials handling in construction leads to significant physical work demands.
- Implementing effective interventions is crucial for worker well-being and safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define the necessary steps for implementing interventions.
- To reduce physical work demands associated with manual materials handling in the construction industry.
Main Methods:
- A theoretical, six-step structured framework was developed.
- The framework incorporates conditional elements for intervention proposals and context analysis.
Main Results:
- The framework was applied to develop interventions for bricklayers and their assistants.
- Demonstrated the practical application of the framework in a real-world construction scenario.
Conclusions:
- The developed framework is appropriate for defining implementation strategies.
- The framework effectively guides the selection of ergonomic measures in construction.
