The work environment and performance of work contribute significantly to the condition; and/or
The condition is made worse or persists longer due to work conditions.

This was an interesting article that was put out by the
CDC regarding MSDs. It was covering how MSDs occur in the work place, what body parts are affected,
the age groups that were most affected by them, specific examples of MSDs, how ergonomics play a role in these disorders, and finally, ways to apply different controls to help lower the injury/ illness data. Section 2: (a) NAICS code:

back injuries
wrist strain
shoulder strain
long-term pain
Manual handling is a leading form of workplace injury for bricklayers. Manual
handling encompasses a wide range of actions including lifting, lowering, pulling, pushing, and carrying awkward and heavy objects.
These repetitive movements can affect the brick layer’s back, knees, wrists, and shoulders among other body parts. This profession can be very hard on the body. When speaking in terms of ergonomics, the repetitive
motions that bricklayers make every day can really become damaging to their body. The article basically states the different injuries that could occur on the job site as well as different ways you could try and make your movements work for you and not against you. 3
