A new alliance signed between OSHA and the American Apparel and Footwear Association to reduce injuries in the industry, with a particular focus on ergonomics, is the seventh joint venture between OSHA and organizations to address ergo ills.
Safe and healthful working conditions for the apparel and footwear industry is the goal, and one means to achieve that end will be to provide association members with training on ergonomics techniques, program structure and specific applications as they apply to the industry. OSHA and AAFA will reach out to members who may benefit from mentoring or guidance in developing, implementing or improving already-existing ergonomic programs.
