N2  - Qualitative research methods were used to determine the health and safety concerns of women employed in the construction trades. Major categories of concern were identified, including: 1) exposure to chemical and physical agents; 2) injuries from lifting/bending/ twisting, falling, and lacerations; 3) lack of proper education and training; and 4) the health and safety risks related specifically to tradeswomen. Many of the issues identified by the workers are amenable to change through either engineering, behavioral, or administrative interventions.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
