abstract="OBJECTIVE: We characterize and compare the self-reported physical exposures, work tasks, and OSHA-10 training in a non-probabilistic sample of temporary and payroll construction workers. <br><br>METHODS: In June 2016, a total of 250 payroll and temporary general laborers employed at Florida construction sites completed a survey at the job site as part of the Falls Reported Among Minority Employees (FRAME) study. <br><br>RESULTS: Workers employed through temp agencies (57.1%) were significantly more likely to report moving or lifting materials more than 100 pounds than payroll workers (38.5%; p < 0.01). Temporary construction workers with 10-hour OSHA training (22.2%) spent significantly less time with intense hand use/awkward hand posture than temporary workers without 10-hour OSHA training (46.9%; p = 0.048). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Temp construction workers with OSHA 10-hour training reported less hazardous physical postures than workers without the same training.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
