CPWR—The Center for Construction Research and Training Ergonomics r2p Survey

CPWR would like to hear from contractors about their experiences preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as back and shoulder injuries.  MSDs caused by the repeated lifting and moving of heavy materials in awkward positions are a leading cause of injury in the construction industry.  Reducing these injuries can lead to greater productivity, lower workers’ compensation costs, and a healthier workforce.

CPWR is conducting this short (10 minute) confidential survey to learn more about the procedures and equipment that are used in the construction industry to assist workers during the lifting or carrying of heavy materials or tools.  The results of this survey will help inform future research needs and research to practice activities to prevent work-related MSDs. We are looking for a wide range of feedback, so you do not need to have a lot of experience with prevention to participate in the survey.

Your participation in this online survey is completely voluntary and confidential.  CPWR is required to protect the confidentiality of survey participants.  They will not collect any personal
information or make any attempt to connect responses back to the individuals surveyed.  The goal is to get your direct and candid input.
