OSHA has formed an alliance with the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) with a specific goal of improving the workplace to prevent ergonomic-related injuries.
"Perhaps no one is more attuned to the debilitating effects ergonomic-related injuries have on workers than the healthcare professionals represented by AAOS," said OSHA chief John Henshaw. "They've committed to sharing with us the orthopaedic community's vast clinical expertise on musculoskeletal injury and disease."
