Ergonomics in Construction. 1996. 18 minutes. DVD only $8

    Shows ergonomics researchers trying to match jobs to workers to help reduce injuries, illnesses, and sprains and strains in construction; also demonstrates some tools and techniques to improve safety and health.

Real-Time Monitoring Program. 1993. 5 minutes. VHS $7/ DVD $8

     

          Shows one approach to assessing exposures to chemical hazards on

          construction sites. Industrial hygienists measured exposures to
          asphalt and welding fumes as they occurred on a new construction
          site using a camera that records changing exposure levels on a    
          gauge on screen.


Welding: A Control Technology. 2000. 8 minutes DVD only $8

    Uses real-time monitoring – a changing bar graph on screen – to show how local-exhaust ventilation can reduce worker exposures to toxic fumes during welding.
Workers Are the Experts. 2000. 6 minutes. VHS $7/ DVD $8
    Shows how construction workers' ideas can improve safety and health on site. Features a safe bridge construction project, a vacuum system to reduce silica exposures to masonry workers, a crane mirror system, and ergonomic improvements on Boston's Big Dig.
