WASHINGTON, DC - The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) filed a petition for review of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) rule on an ergonomics standard with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Nov. 29, 2000.
ACCA has been joined by nearly 70 other trade associations and companies in challenging the rule because it fails to establish a connection between musculoskeletal injuries and workplace activities, according to John Saucier, chairman of ACCA’s Government Relations Task Team, and president of Temperature Inc. of Memphis, TN.
