Purpose: The purpose of this study is to learn about attitudes toward implementing ergonomic change in California construction work in the unionized sector. Our specific goal was to assess current perceptions and attitudes among construction professionals toward overcoming barriers and obstacles and voluntarily implementing ergonomic solutions. We hope the results will inform future training projects, education efforts, and social marketing campaigns.
This study relates directly to the NORA Construction Sector Strategic Goal #7.6—to improve the acceptance, diffusion and adoption of Work‐Related Musculoskelatal Disorder (WMSD) workplace solutions by contractors, owners, suppliers and workers, and addresses both goals 7.6.1—evaluating previously implemented work practice innovations and 7.6.2— pilot studies toward developing dissemination strategies for workplace solutions to evaluate the factors that facilitate and inhibit intervention adoption and diffusion
