Promising interventions sometimes fail to get results if they aren’t taken up. The importance of implementation is highlighted in a study on the effects of new methods in the flooring trade by Jensen and Friche.1 Although tools allowing some tasks to be done while standing had been available previously, floor layers were more likely to use them after training and their use was sustained after 2 years of follow up.
