I have started to write the survey, I use Survey Monkey at work so it is somewhat familiar in the private venue. You are right Jeff, must take already existing injuries into account, and so many other things...I'm in that brainstorming mode now. Below is an initial list of items I need to explore, so feel free to add other items specific to your craft. This list will grow based on your input, which I will continue to add to this list until I have a thorough survey ready. Thanks for your help.

Pre-existing conditions and how acquired
Current treatments for existing conditions (medications, massage, physical therapy)
Types of materials you work on
Tools and how used
Work conditions (location, size, lighting)
Clamps, vices, holding apparatus
Exposure (chemicals, sun, dust)
Body positions when working
Work intervals and rest periods and project time lines
Safety equipment and knowledge of injury prevention
