Our team is very interested in studying worker safety and health. Specifically, we have conducted studies on the following:
- Identifying activities that require high physical demands and implementing tools and work methods to lower risk of injury in construction workers
- Safety climate in construction workers
- Understanding important aspects of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Decreasing falls at residential construction sites through training designed for the Carpenters’ District Council of Greater St. Louis and Vicinity
- Determining prevalence and cause of Parkinson’s disease in welders
