Phase-level assessment of interventions against knee musculoskeletal disorder risk in roofing: 9 participants installed shingles on a slope-adjustable roof platform (0, 15, 30 deg) with no intervention, knee pads, knee savers, or both. Knee flexion, ab/adduction and rotation angles were captured across seven task phases, from reaching for shingles to returning upright. Public-domain NIOSH research dataset RD-1108-2025-0 on CDC STACKS.
