The National Advisory Committee on Ergonomics (NACE) is scheduled to conclude its efforts in November, unless it is renewed. Its fate is uncertain, according to an outlook by the American Industrial Hygiene Association.
OSHA has issued ergonomics guidelines on nursing homes and retail groceries, with guidelines for poultry processing in the final stage and guidelines for shipyards expected to be released in draft form this summer. NACE is expected to provide OSHA with recommendations on two more industries before its conclusion.
