CPWR REPORT

This research study validated that workers installing drywall are at a high risk of MSDs, especially to low back and shoulders. Researchers used an integrated biomechanical modeling approach to investigate the effects of position and size of drywall on the physical demands for drywall installers. The results: drywall storage position and size affect the physical demand of the work and may contribute to injury.
