NIOSH released “Soluciones Simples – Soluciones ergonómicas para trabajadores de la construcción”, a Spanish translation of “Simple Solutions – Ergonomics for Construction Workers”.
Construction is one of the most physically demanding occupations. Workers are exposed to different kinds of hazard on a daily basis. Falling from heights, electrocution and exposure to hazardous materials are just some of the dangers that they encounter in the workplace. One hazard that they can easily avoid, or at least reduce the risk of having, is work related muscoskeletal disorders.
This booklet offers practical ideas to help reduce the risk of repetitive stress injury in common construction tasks.
Soluciones Simples responds to employers’ and workers’ needs for practical guidance written for construction workers whose first and perhaps only language is Spanish, said NIOSH Director Dr. John Howard

I think ergonomics are important for any industry to keep posture in the form it should be in to stay healthy.
This guide is over 90 pages long. Good information but not practical to use in the field for construction.
We need keep it simple solutions with pictures.
