Overexertion is the major cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among U.S. construction workers. Workers aged 45-64 had higher average claim costs and more days away from work due to overexertion. Therefore, ergonomic design improvements, interventions, and age-specific WMSD prevention are necessary to make the workplace safer for all workers.
What is already known about this topic? Overexertion is the major cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among U.S. construction workers. Although the prevalence of workers' compensation WMSD claims from overexertion among construction workers during 2007-2017 in Ohio was highest among workers aged 35-44 years, the average claim was more costly and resulted in more days away from work among workers aged 45-54 years and 55-64 years. What are the implications for public health practice? Ergonomic design improvements and interventions are needed to make the workplace safer for workers of all ages. Age-specific WMSD prevention and risk communication efforts also might be helpful.
