AB - Floor Coverers suffer high rates of knee-related musculoskeletal disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine which tasks have high priority for intervention. A total of 5126 discrete data observations were collected using the PATH method on 24 professional Floor Coverers. With respect to leg posture for each task and the combination of leg posture and MMH, fitting and installing vinyl composite tile (VCT) and fitting and installing baseboard had the highest exposures. Fitting and installing wood floor and fitting and installing carpet had medium exposures.
