MoreOSHA's new ergo effort is showing signs of life: ten coordinators have been named for each of the agency's ten regional offices to assist OSHA staff, employers, employees and others with ergonomic issues.
All are experienced in identifying ergonomic hazards and suggesting solutions for common problems that can be associated with musculoskeletal disorders. They will serve as a resource for inspectors, help with outreach and education, and respond to specific questions from employers and employees.
