WASHINGTON, DC — What’s next in regard to the ergonomics standard, developed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)?
As far as the hvacr industry is concerned, OSHA is going to have to produce a better document than the one passed by an exiting Clinton administration in November of last year. In part due to pressure applied by various hvacr associations and other industries, President George W. Bush last month signed S.J. Res. 6, a congressional resolution that killed the ergonomics regulation, originally designed to help provide employee safety rules and standards in the workforce.
