What’s happening: The need to fix, maintain, or replace an increasing number of older highways and bridges is expected to fuel employment growth within the iron workers industry, according to new job outlook data published April 17 by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS). With more work coming online and persistent workforce challenges, contractors are increasingly turning to equipment like MAX USA Corp.’s TwinTier rebar tying tools to protect their workers, reduce injury claims, and keep projects on time.
Why it matters: Rebar tying by hand requires sustained bending and repeated, awkward hand/wrist postures. Studies show battery powered tying tools can be effective in preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs, back and wrists, which according to BLS accounted for more than a half a million employer-reported workplace injuries resulting in missed work over a two-year period (2021-2022).
