Work Place

On a typical workday, carpet installers frequently use their hands to handle, control, or feel objects, tools, or controls. Time spent kneeling, crouching, stooping, or crawling is a regular part of the workday. They often spend time bending or twisting their bodies. The work environment requires carpet installers to spend a fair amount of time making repetitive motions. Exposure to contaminated materials is not unusual. They have occasional contact with people and normally spend some time using the telephone and discussing things with others face-to-face. These workers have a lot of freedom to make decisions, and their decisions have some impact on other staff and their companies. Many carpet installers work full time.
