Abstract

BACKGROUND

Masons have a high rate of musculoskeletal disorders among construction workers and greater than all other industries. Viable solutions to musculoskeletal hazards have been identified by industry stakeholders, yet masons receive minimal ergonomics training. Apprentices, as the next generation of masons, need training and strategies to identify and speak up about ergonomic and safety issues on job sites. To fill this gap, our team developed the Safety Voice for Ergonomics (SAVE) training program.

METHODS

The interactive, 7-unit SAVE program was developed specifically for masonry brick and block apprentices. This innovative training contains detailed ergonomics lessons focusing on risk factors and solutions specific to this masonry craft. It also contains lessons that provide communication and problem solving strategies. Evaluation of SAVE employed a randomized control trial designed to assess the effectiveness of SAVE for apprentices over a six-month period.

RESULTS

Our findings demonstrated that compared to controls, SAVE trained apprentices used their safety voice more (P = .049) and had greater safety participation (P = .028). They adopted more ergonomic practices such as adjusting scaffolding (P = .016) and using better body postures (P = 042). Apprentices liked SAVE and indicated that it prompted them to change workplace safety behaviors.

CONCLUSIONS

SAVE is an effective program, providing needed ergonomic and safety communication training for workers as they begin their trade. The broad adoption of SAVE training by the masonry industry has the potential to empower apprentices, elevate the trade's safety culture, and ultimately reduce musculoskeletal disorders.

摘要

背景

石匠在建筑工人和所有其他行业中肌肉骨骼疾病的发病率都很高。行业利益相关者已经确定了可行的肌肉骨骼危害解决方案，但石匠接受的人体工程学培训很少。作为未来一代的石匠，学徒需要接受培训并掌握识别和解决工作场所人体工程学和安全问题的策略。为了填补这一空白，我们的团队开发了安全发声人体工程学（SAVE）培训计划。

方法

互动式、7 个单元的 SAVE 计划是专为砖石瓦匠学徒量身定制的。这个创新的培训包含详细的人体工程学课程，重点介绍针对这个砖石瓦匠工艺的风险因素和解决方案。它还包含提供沟通和解决问题策略的课程。SAVE 的评估采用了随机对照试验，旨在评估 SAVE 在六个月内对学徒的有效性。

结果

我们的研究结果表明，与对照组相比，接受 SAVE 培训的学徒使用安全发声更多（P = 0.049），并且安全参与度更高（P = 0.028）。他们采用了更多的人体工程学实践，例如调整脚手架（P = 0.016）和采用更好的身体姿势（P = 0.042）。学徒们喜欢 SAVE，并表示它促使他们改变工作场所的安全行为。
