3238.0: Monday, November 05, 2007: 12:30 PM-2:00 PM | ||||
Oral | ||||
| ||||
| This session will present emerging data on energized work practices among construction electricians. Additionally, it will discuss the barriers to conducting field research in residential carpentry and an evaluation of ergonomic intervention strategies for drywall installation. This session will identify ways to reduce metal working fluid exposures, and discuss factors associated with falls in apprentice carpenters. Lastly, we will present data on how the relative risks of ladder fatalities are increasing precipitously by age compared to other work fatalities in the US. | ||||
| Learning Objectives: 1. Recognize factors affecting the safety of construction electricians 2. Assess carpenter apprentices individual concerns regarding field research participation 3. Describe the incidence of fatal work-related ladder injuries falls by age in the US 4. Identify predictors of falls from height in a population of apprentice carpenters | ||||
