TL;DR: The large number of persons employed in occupations with frequent exposure to infection and disease underscore the importance of all workplaces developing risk response plans for COVID-19, and serve as an important reminder that the workplace is a key locus for public health interventions, which could protect both workers and the communities they serve.

TL;DR: This paper reviews available information on crane-related injuries, currently available safety devices, and commonly used crane safety procedures, and recommends for improved crane injury prevention and future crane safety research.

TL;DR: This work-site based study among welders demonstrates a high prevalence of parkinsonism compared to nonwelding-exposed workers and a clinical phenotype that overlaps substantially with PD.

TL;DR: Noise exposure samples provide substantial documentation that construction workers in several key trades are frequently exposed to noise levels that have been associated with hearing loss, and demonstrate the need for targeted noise reduction efforts and comprehensive hearing conservation programs in the industry.

TL;DR: Construction apprentices in their first three years of work, with average noise exposures under 90 dBA, have measurable losses of hearing function, and appear somewhat more sensitive to these early changes than is evident with standard pure tone audiometry.
