چکیده
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a prevention programme at construction worksites on work ability, health and sick leave. Methods: A total of 15 departments (n=297 workers) from six construction companies participated in this cluster randomized controlled trial, and were randomly allocated to the intervention group (eight departments; n=171 workers) or control group (seven departments; n=122 workers). The intervention consisted of two individual training sessions with a physical therapist to lower the physical workload, a Rest-Break tool to improve the balance between work and recovery, and two empowerment training sessions to increase influence at the worksite. Data on work ability, physical and mental health status, and musculoskeletal symptoms were collected at baseline, and at three, six and 12 months follow-up. Sick leave data were obtained from the companies.
