Abstract
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are prevalent among construction laborers due to the strenuous nature of their work, including heavy lifting, repetitive motions, and awkward postures. This study explores the effectiveness of ergonomic cement trolleys as a preventive measure against MSDs in the construction industry. Through a comprehensive survey, user satisfaction with these trolleys was evaluated across various metrics, including their ability to reduce physical strain, improve safety, and enhance task efficiency. The results indicate widespread satisfaction among construction workers, with high ratings for the trolleys' effectiveness in mitigating MSDs and improving overall health outcomes. These findings underscore the potential of ergonomic interventions, such as cement trolleys, to significantly enhance worker well-being and productivity in construction settings.
