Topic Two
Ergonomics As An Upstream Prevention in Construction
Not your typical ergonomics review—instead, this session will explore ergonomics as a powerful upstream strategy to reduce chronic pain, prevent musculoskeletal injuries and support mental health in the construction industry. By addressing the root causes of physical strain, we can help lower the risks of depression, opioid use and long-term disability—building a safer, healthier workforce from the ground up.
