Description

Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver studied physiological measurements of construction workers to learn more about how those measurements can be indicators of physical stress and workload. Models based on this work have the potential to facilitate the mitigation of cardiovascular strain and enable ongoing accident prevention in the construction industry. The research will establish benchmarks for transportation construction workers' physiological health and performance and written "best practice" guidelines for conducting physical construction activities while constructing infrastructure projects.
