Workplace Ergonomics
In April of 2002, OSHA released its plan to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders. OSHA has begun working to produce industry and task-specific guidelines that provide the best practices for reducing ergonomic injuries. OSHA intends to crack-down on employers with ergonomic hazards by coordinating inspections with a legal strategy designed for successful prosecution. As OSHA’s new plan stresses voluntary compliance, employers are beginning to take a more proactive approach to reviewing their ergonomics program.
