Drywall and Interior Finishing
US & Canada Drywall
Why it matters
Sheet handling wrecks backs and shoulders; sanding fills lungs; stilts and benches cause falls.
Key points
- Board carts and lifts for sheets - a 12-ft sheet of 5/8 is a two-person carry minimum.
- Sanding: vacuum sanders or wet sanding; N95 minimum otherwise.
- Bench and stilt work needs clear, level floors - coordinate housekeeping with other trades.
- Score-and-snap toward your body is how wrists get cut - snap away.
- Watch overhead work near live electrical rough-in.
