As a result, it is necessary to develop a posture analyzing system to identify construction workers’ postures during work practicing and score them according to the strained caused. This study investigates 183 steel or form assembly workers to recognize their works-related postures and strain occurred during work practicing. In addition, 20 young male volunteers are also examined for identifying the risk level of postures causing body disorders. Together, the results obtained from both investigating construction workers and volunteers are integrated to develop the posture analyzing system.
